Or any big city.  Try Dallas or Houston (both of which I try to avoid also!)
I guess they would be FTBs...

I once had to go to Rockford, Il airport and took the United Airlines bus
there... :rolleyes:  Couldn't fly into the airport since at the time it was
not a commercially serviced airport.  The next time I rented a car from
O'Hara and drove myself.  I remember being told they have all four seasons
there... Almost winter, winter, still winter and construction.  I was there
both times during construction.  :^)
