Big Red's Top 10 List

Hi Guys. As everyone knows, I travel the nation. I keep thinking that since we have this blog, I thought I would start a top ten list. I thought about what I could do and for the first Big Red Top 10 List, I thought that I would start with Big Red's Top Ten Cities I've Been To:
10: Seattle, Washington
I know what your thinking Seattle should be higher on the list. But after spending a week there after a massive snow storm just before Christmas, it fell down. Seattle area is great and is the home of Starbucks, 2 sports teams and grunge music. One of my favorite drives in this area is going over Snoqualmie Pass on I-90.
9: Little Rock, Arkansas
Little Rock is great if you like hills, lots of trees and some of the gorgeous country that is around the mid south. The capital city is not a big thriving metro area ( if you want that Memphis is about 2 hours away) but if you want to go see some pretty country and go have a bite with Jed Clappett, Little Rock is for you
8: Savannah, Georgia
Southeastern Georgia is some great area and is an area that Aimee would like to live if it wasn't in a hurricane area. Trees and hills to the west and the Atlantic to the east makes Savannah number 8
7:Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Open country on lots of prairie is great. OKC is full of; well okies, but some really friendly people there. Lots of country singers such as Garth Brooks, Reba , and others have called this great place their home
6:Phoenix, Arizona
Believe it or not, the desert has some real beautiful sites. That and other things make Phoenix great. Ok, the heat can be unbearable, but the desert wildlife is great to see
5:Knoxville, Tennessee
The gateway to the Great Smokey Mountains sits along the banks of the Tennessee River makes it great place to visit. There are lots of things to do there that includes Dolly Parton's Dollywood Theme Park
4: Corning, California
If you like olives then Corning is for you. This small town that sits in a fertile valley surrounded by mountains makes it high up the list
3:Billings, Montana
Well I should say all of Montana. To the east lots of prairie and frontier land to the great mountains to the west makes Montana great place to visit
2: Columbus, Ohio
I like Ohio but can't stand Cleveland or Cincinnati. But the fast food capital in the country is a great place to visit. Columbus is one of my favorite places to go see and I will go out of my way just to go through there
1: Brantford, Ontario
The hometown of hockey great Wayne Gretzky is the best city that I have been to. Just off the main highway that connects Detroit and Toronto, Brantford is just the town to visit. Trust me this is an area that can't be missed
I hope that when you are planning you next vacation that you take this list in mind. Thanks for reading

Hey Brandon,
Thanks for the plug for my hometown! Columbus was a great place to grow up.
