**Zeldar** asked to get [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=512027) closed, leaving us without and answer to the question which spot in the U.S. has seen the most Dopers. My sense of what people were posting (and I’ll admit I didn’t crunch a single number) yielded a list of seven semi-finalists. Which of the following have you been to? Atlanta airport The Grand Canyon Los Angeles Las Vegas New York City O’Hare Airport Orlando I’ve been to all but the Grand Canyon. ---

Hmm, of those places, I’ve only ever been in O’Hare Airport. I’ve been _close_ to New York City, but I never actually got around to actually visiting it. 😛 ---
