Of places mentioned so far, I’ve been to the Empire State Building, DC mall, Disney World (Orlando), and Indianapolis airport. I haven’t actually been to Independence Hall, but I’ve ridden past it when in Philadelphia. Other places I suspect I have in common with a lot of Dopers: Yellowstone National Park, Niagara Falls, Mount Rushmore, Colonial Williamsburg. Airports in Cleveland (Ohio), Philadelphia, Montreal. Greyhound Bus stations/terminals in Cleveland, Indianapolis, Richmond (Virginia), Washington (DC), Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Breezewood (Pennsylvania). Amtrak facilities along the Eastern USA corridor as far south as Newport News (Virginia). ---

I’ve had another thought on the zooming in process. What if we find which of the USA Interstate highways all of us have been on? The easy ones for me are I-65, I-40, I-24. Then I can add I-10, I-20, I-75, I-85, I-95, I-66, I-81, I-71, I-84, I-90, I-16, I-26, and maybe some others. ---

Some palces I have been, that I expect many Dopers have also been. In the Louvre, by the Mona Lisa Denver, CO Intl Airport, on the little train thingies. Trafalga Square, by the Lions. San Frencisco, on the Golden Gate Bridge. St Louis, in the arch monument. New York, on the Statue of Liberty viewing ferry. San Francisco, in Alcatraz. Disney Land, Epcot Center, Paris street scene. The state-side observation platform at the Niagra Falls. ---

Obviously Niagara Falls was added while I was composing my first post to this thread. I’ve also been to Key West, the Grand Tetons, the World’s Only Corn Palace, and Wall Drug. My parents passed up the roadside invitations to see [Rock City](http://ngeorgia.com/site/rockcity.html) and [Ruby Falls](http://www.rubyfalls.com/), though… ---

Exactly: In the spirit of the OP, we have to either go with specific locations, OR, go along with **UncleBeer** , since really the only “place” we have ALL been to is the same place we are ALL at right now. Oh, and **Sock Munkey** , I had made the assumption earlier that by listing the Mall in DC that the Smithsonian kinda came along for the ride. But maybe that’s just me. 😉 ---
