A sidebar advert on Facebook today claimed that the average person has been to 17 cities. So I took that as a challenge, got a very small scale map of the U.S. out of a date book, and will check off from my travel experiences.
I was born in Erie, but according to the map it's too small to count. From there:
Cleveland - Columbus - Cincinatti - Charleston, WV - Niagara Falls - Pittsburgh - Baltimore - Washington, DC - Richmond - Charleston, SC - Savannah - Jacksonville - Tampa - St. Petersburg - Orlando - Gainesville - Macon - Atlanta - Chattanooga - Knoxville - Asheville - Columbia - Lexington - Louisville - Indianapolis - Chicago - Madison - Minneapolis/St. Paul
That's 28. Which I suppose is fairly impressive for somebody who didn't get into sports and who never had a job that involved travel. But as far as I'm concerned, it's nowhere near enough.
