    After seeing these pictures, I'd love to visit Rockport, Maine. I've always wanted to visit Savanah, GA, and almost had the SO talked into going last Fall for vacay before school started, but we went somewhere else instead. Maybe someday soon I'll go....with or without him. ;)

    My question to the WFers: Is there a town you know of that could be considered one of America's prettiest? 'Splain and include pics.

    Look at the link. The first pic is Rockport, Maine. A lot of states have cities that are named the same. :P

    That's wierd because it's still working for me.
    Try this one: http://www.forbestraveler.com/best-lists/americas-prettiest-towns-story.html
    It's for the story, but it of course has a little link under the pic for the slideshow.

    Nope..."INFORMATION ALERT 403" error again.

    Anyway, I have been to Savannah. The downtown area is quite pretty....way, way prettier than my Georgian town (nicknamed "Disgusta")

    Yep, there's also one in Maine, though. Both are very pretty.
