Conde Naste Traveler has a slide-show which names the friendliest and unfriendliest cities in the United States. The results were taken from their annual Reader’s Choice Survey.

I always find it interesting to hear what people think about cities in regards to being nice, friendly, rude, cold etc… I think a person’s perception of a place  has  lot to do with how they act along with their own pre-conceived notions.

Over the years Kim and I have stopped by many tall skyscrapers to visit observation decks on their higher-up floors. It’s definitely an interesting and different way to see & view a city.
