Welcome to the July 16, 2008 edition of the Carnival of Cities.
Yes, I know it's past the 16th, but I was teaching a Web 2.0 Tools workshop in Austin this past week (with another one coming up on Friday, 25 July in San Antonio) and that crunched my tim

Poor New Jersey.
It gets a bad rap as a destination because most people don't visit very much of it.
The oft-maligned state has a lot more to offer than what most folks actually see (places like the monotonous New Jersey Turnpike or the Vegas-wannab

There's a lot of family-friendly action in the Peach State, and my article covering 20 places and events is now available on Education.com.
There are "the obvious" sites in Atlanta, but I tried to look beyond that and cast a statewide net.

The Eiffel Tower; an instantly recognizable symbol of Paris.
My young son doesn't remember much of France, but he sure knows the "Eyfee Towee."

I am disgusted.
I am a U.S. traveler with multiple transportation options, and most of them are awful.

When I travel, I love to seek out those unique attractions or events or food/drink that can only be found in certain places.

One of my favorite catalogs and Web sites is Brooklyn, NY-based Uncommon Goods; they always have the most interesting items, many hand-crafted.
