I know some white people with the name Orlando.I know some black people with the name "orlando"
For my favorite city, I'd have to go with Greenville, North Carolina. Excellent city with an awesome college baseball team (though sadly South Carolina eliminated them this past weekend), great schools, awesome people, and just about anything else you could ask of a town of 70,000 people.
EDIT: And it's also the home of pro BMXer Dave Mirra, and birthplace of rapper Petey Pablo. -

Mine would be...
1) New York City, NY (cBass said it best... the prestige, the history, not to mention *Times Square*... even the Bronx and other 'lower-class' areas were so... inspiring, really)
2) Dallas, TX (I love Dallas! Everything seems so new... and clean... West End is great. Not to mention Arlington is nearby...)
3) Washington, D.C. (So organized, so historical... very lovely, very inspiring, very pretty) -

1) My hometown of Dallas is great, you don't have the arrogant attitudes that other big cities have, and you still get the bustle of work. Arlington (with Six Flags and The Ballpark) are just down the road. Its a great place.
2) Chicago, my family lives here, and I love it. Theirs very few cities that mix the old with the new so well. Technology is up to date here, yet you still get the atmosphere that you're in the 1920's....
3) New Orleans, fantastic history behind the buildings in New Orleans. The Jazz Festival is a must attend yearly, and Mardi Gras is something you don't want to miss either....
To bad I have never been out of the country. We're going to Italy next year, we're trying to buy a place in Venice, so we'll see. -

No Order. The lack of abroad cities is because my family dont holiday in built up places.
1) Chester - Closest thing to a home city since I live out in the country. Realy cool place. No Skyscrapers, cool shops. Its quite small for a city but its a neat place.
2) London - The Capitol. Quite a cool place, lots going on. The London eye, the nightlife etc. It's nice to visit but I dont think I could live there.
3) Liverpool - Although it is the place where the term "scalley" was born it is actually quite a nice place. There are lots of great things to do. There are lots of Music Events and Gigs.
4) Manchester - Pretty much the same as Liverpool but with even more great gigs.
5) Nurenburg - Great place. Realy friendly people. The only German city that i've visited since I was out in the stix when I went over there.
EDIT:
6) Amsterdam - I forgot what a cool place it is. This is where my mum's side of the family come from. They're realy nice people and plus its Holland! I love the country. -

My favorite three:
1. Vancouver, Canada
Quite possibly the most beautiful city in the world. Downtown is located on a peninsula (Water on three sides), it has beaches, a 1000 acre park and beautiful sky scrapers. Yaletown, Concord Pacific Place and Coal Harbour are areas of downtown which have been stuffed full of condos and they are the most desirable places to lives. In fact, Concord Pacific is so well done that many cities around the world use Vancouver as a blue print for creating their own liveable urban communities. San Fransisco, Seattle and even some Arab cities have attempted to copy Vanccouver. Outside of downtown, a fifteen minute drive can place you at the base of Grouse Mountain, and following an eight minute gondola ride, you can be skiing. A two hour drive from Vancouver will take you to Whislter, or you can fly from the most beautiful airport in North America, YVR.
2. Paris, France
There is so much to love about Paris. The architecture is beautiful, the city streets are clean and friendly and there is so much to do. I love the fact that Paris is a major city of over eleven million people but there is only one skyscraper to be found in Paris (Excluding La Defanse). The subway system is very efficent and vast (the trains and stations are ugly though). And not to forget the TGV, which is about 100x better than a plane. Definetly want to live here, assuming they put a TGV from Vancouver, across Canada, under the Atlantic to Paris. I can't stand the flight. (BTW, Paris has a Disneyland too)
3. Whistler, Canada
I'm not much of a snow boarder, but I have done it for a few years. I've skiied at Grouse, Cypress, Sun Peaks and Whislter-Blackcomb. Personally, Whistler interms of skiing is not that great. It's very crowded, and the skiiers have huge egos and fly over 100mph. But as a town, I love it. The charm and atmosphere of the village is like nothing else. There are so many great resturants, nightlife, stores and hotels in this mountain village. The scenary is incredible and the number of activites is limitless. Definetly a place I would love to live in.

Ah! I'm in agreeance with the Alchemist on the "J Land" as he refers to it. So many districts on Toukyou as well as beautiful respect for the land and the rich history seen everywhere. Awesome place.
I've also got a little fetish for the three C's in Ohio. When driving into the center of Ohio, the trees are just gorgeous and the weather is always perfect to me. The air is very nice, too. Oh, and I love their snow!
That's about it. -

Places I've Been That Are Favs
Munich, Germany - God I loved this place. The Olympic "area" was cool, but the town in itself was amazing. The Glockenspiel was cool, as well as the restaurant under it....The "Rot House" as we called it...great food.
You haven't lived until you've had a pretzel and coke at the market. Everything about the town was just amazing to me....not to mention the churches. And technically you can call Neuschwanstein part of Munich too. God that was awesome...(for those who don't know, this is the castle that Walt Disney based Cinderella's Castle on).
Houston, Texas - Wow. Went for NCYC and what I saw of the town was really freaking cool. Not to mention the fact that Reliant Stadium has a ton of Krispy Kreme vendors. Pry doesn't hurt that I became friends with my best friend at NCYC either.
Burghausen, Germany - Also cool. Quaint little town with great food...and a birdge over to Austria...and the castle was kick ass as well from a "falling apart" standpoint.
London, England - Didn't get to spend a great deal of time here, so that's why it isn't higher on my list (these are in order yaknow). Awesome from what little I saw though.
NY, NY - Cool place, but I mean, the Yankees for god sakes....(go Tigers...lol)

I like Las Vegas too. It's one of the classiest, yet also one of the trashiest cities I've ever been to. -

San Diego... what I remember of it...
Oh, St. Louis is nice, but it's becoming too much of a suburban paradise.
I liked San Antonio when I went there about 6 or 7 years ago.
Cancun sucked big balls...
LA wasn't all that great
And Memphis is the scummiest of all big cities I've been to, though it does have character.
