I have only been to 3 of the 25, but some were way before they became what they are now.

6. The Hollywood Walk of Fame - It was not a big deal even then, but the area was mostly empty. You could wander around for hours and just see the random homeless person.

17. The Four Corners Monument - It really wasn't a monument yet back in 1971. It was just a small marker. Still not a big deal.

19. The Grand Canyon - Everyone should go at least once. There is no way to comprehend it without being there.

Even with all the BS and touristy stuff, I would still like to see Niagra Falls and visit Rome someday. I know it will be annoying, but there is much to be appreciated as well.

I was at the Four Corner's this summer and it's substantially upgraded since the last time I was there. - Meg Nov 21, 11:05 4

  - According to this it may be off about 1,800 feet. -- (link) - Meg Nov 21, 11:15
  - Could be. I remember having to hike up about a mile to get there. It may not have even been where the marker is now. -- nm - GregW Nov 21, 11:14
- This and the next two in the sequence were taken there in August. -- (link) - Meg Nov 21, 11:10 [flickr]
