Never got the chance to visit

After reading about the Outer Banks at jayesel, I realized how I never visited that portion of North Carolina despite living there for 11 years (or seven if you strike out the college years). It got me into thinking: What over widely known portion of the states I have lived in that I never visited? Here’s a list of what I thought about:

  1. While in New York City, I probably didn’t visit Rockefeller Center, the World Trade Center, Broadway, Guggenheim Museum, the Apollo Theater, Coney Island or even Manhattan. I lived in Queens, and my family was quite poor. The last time I was there was 1991, and all I saw were White Castle, Flushing Meadows and Shea Stadium in that trip.
  2. While in North Carolina, I never visited the Biltmore Estate, Mount Airy (the inspiration of “The Andy Griffith Show” despite being 10 miles away from while in college), Old Wake Forest campus, the previously mentioned Outer Banks. Just never got around to doing that. I may see the old campus in August.
  3. While in Georgia, I never visited Jekyll Island or the southwestern portion of the state. Otherwise, I pretty much saw everything there.
  1. While in Virginia, I never visited Monticello or the Pope-Leighey House. The house is still a possibility.
