New List - How many of these places have you been to?

14 or 15. No sure whether to count the Hollywood sign. I’ve seen it plenty. Especially while taking in a show at the Bowl, but also while driving around. But I’m not going to hike up to it or anything.

Another big loser with 2!  

Which of those on the list do you consider a tourist trap? The only ones I can see are the Vegas Strip Times Square and the Mall of America. I certainly don't consider the historical places or natural parks tourist traps.
I counted the Hollywood Sign and GG Bridge on my list because I have seen them both and driven across the Bridge. You can't really be driving around LA area and not see the Hollywood Sign. Doesn't that count? And if you are in SF the bridge is pretty hard to miss as well. It isn't like most of us make a destination of it.

You toss out going to a Broadway Show as some sign of being something locals do. Going to shows on Broadway may be one of the most ubiquitous experiences in NYC. Why don't you consider that a tourist trap?
I think the Empire State building is architecturally beautiful and interesting and you get a great view of the Chrysler Building which is definitely a building worth looking at. I have been to NYC and been to see shows and the Empire State Building. You don't have to do one or the other. I have been to many museums in NYC. I have also wandered aimlessly through Little Italy, weird neighborhoods were I hardly saw other people, eaten in greasy spoons were people openly looking at me because I was likely the only stranger they had seen all week. I also went to the Statue of Liberty and other places you might consider a tourist trap. The shaming of people wanting to see things like the Empire State Building or the GG Bridge is weird. I used to see movies that featured those places. I read books about them. I used to dream about seeing them. I think labeling them tourist traps is silly.

15.

11 but could me more if i was even mildly interested in seeing the other places.

19 for me. Although I have been to Pennsylvania and dc, I never visited the lubertg bell or White House.

16 for me 

I have seen the White House and the Lincoln Memorial but only by air.  We were there for a tradeshow and time just didn't allow for a tour of these places.  I was extremely disappointed. 

Walt Disney World(not to every park though and would love a good long vacation there but $$)
Chicago River(been to Chicago, saw the river while driving, didn' do anything river related)
French Quarter. (Yes loved it, was before Katrina though.)
Saint Augustine(yes absolutely love it and near by Fort Matanzas Beach)

18

18 for me. Some when I was a kid and my parents would take us on trips. A few on business trips to see the sights of a city I was in. And family lived near some (Niagara Falls, Pike’s Peak, French Quarter.) And a trip out west we hit Zion, Las Vegas, and the Grand Canyon.

Fun little survey.

16 for me and central Canada

12 for me

From the new list, 15.
