The following Brooklyn
Brooklyn, I love you, but I fall. Instead, his name is "continue" mentioned all the time with the word behind it, and it really is starting to irritate me.
Brooklyn What's this? Creative Capital in the shade of a big city? A place where an organic shop, the vinyl records they can be sold? Men with beards? These 39 things? Is back catalog Brooklyn Jay Z and a brand new luxury sports complex or a quarter in a variety of hip-hop songs? Maybe Brooklyn is a Woody Allen movie? To reduce the number of baseball fans from, the name means Brooklyn Dodgers, the team that the name of a pejorative used against the residents of Manhattan and later snootier furious team for you and carries on its base local fans, he moved to Los Angeles (the antithesis of Brooklyn).
And, of course, this beautiful Brooklyn Bridge. One of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States opened the Brooklyn Bridge in 1883. Though certainly go through it, the Brooklyn Bridge is the best for biking or walking to you in the mathematical labyrinth of lines that look up to support it.
During the last decade, Brooklyn has become shorthand for a city in the know and is on the radar. "Brooklyn", a county or a city on the rise - come as soon as you can still pay and / or more street cred.
No wonder that many cities in the United States (or local tourist offices in these cities publications) will sell as the "next Brooklyn." Brooklyn has cachet. Brooklyn is a trademark. Brooklyn IN.
The following cities are the latest to as the "Brooklyn Next" or be called "new Brooklyn", but it will not happen. Why? Well, for starters, they have the advantage that they are blessed with a view of one of the most beautiful but also, these cities have their own charm city views paraphrase a good last word Oscar Wilde (in Brooklyn in 1882, lectured the world - .. 1 year, before he be the same fees, cities, Brooklyn is already taken the bridge on the left).
The next Brooklyn?

The Ugly American States
When it comes to beauty, the states are a bit like humans. Some are with a beautiful topography or amazing strength that an image burned into your brain and your heart lays a beat every time someone speaks your name blessed. But other states - and the people - not to get the spark, just getting a second look. It's just the nature of things: there is no escape of geography and genetics.
In a beauty contest between the states of California and Connecticut, California certainly always win. But that does not mean Connecticut, as one of the ugliest U.S. states in a recent article in the SF Examiner Travel International has admirable qualities.
As a firm believer in "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and in favor of giving the benefit of doubt, I want to bring to the defense of Connecticut, Delaware, Kansas, Nevada, and Oklahoma, and find some beauty in every
Delaware
I'm curious, with Bob Ecker, the article's author, reviewer, Delaware is one of the ugliest state in the Union agree, because often I look at the "first state" as nothing more than a few toll booths representing Congress. But if I Delaware goal, it is often a pleasure. A city trip to a summer of Lewes, by the Dutch settled 1631 days means an afternoon swim in the bay, antique shops and a stop at one of the many country stands Delaware East.
Nevada
Ecker Nevada lists "with a heavy heart", but in fact valid for admission to the ugliest because of its history as core evidence and arguments of the relentless geography. In fact, improving the neon of Las Vegas has a pleasant aesthetic to the eyes of some but. I can not imagine ugly can assert a state which part of the Lake Tahoe adding to the list.
Connecticut
All negative impressions Connecticut especially enjoy of my friends in New York and Massachusetts, both so in love with himself to separating this strip of land States. Although Connecticut urban centers are not much to see, I'm combining a lover of its colonial architecture and its maritime heritage well to Mystic Seaport. Ecker also hate Hartford, but the head of the outbreak of the State Capitol building in neo-Gothic style, which exceeds far beyond the small stature of the state.
Oklahoma
The argument against Oklahoma Ecker shows almost the opposite: "There is another level of infinity, the plain lonely Oklahoma breathlessly," I can imagine that a visitor to a mountainous country his sight. in Oklahoma for the first time and is impressed by the "infinite triviality." Oklahoma also has the most American Indian tribal headquarters of the United States. If modern reservations are just a thing of beauty when you get the opportunity a strain on a holiday, colorful and emotional state that you love ever to visit the Southwest show.
Kansas
Of all the countries on the list in the top five, Kansas is the one I know least. But I could not find some poetry in the Sunshine State, shows that beauty can be found everywhere in the lonely prairies of Kansas. Esther M. (Clark) Hill "The Call of Kansas," which describes the state of Aroma Shower summer, the wind-swept plains and dusty wild roses, almost makes me want to visit, if only for a minute New York.
