Why is this a bait thread? I never come to SighSee. Are the nice looking parts of these towns just the town center? I’ve only been to Ireland but this was the impression I got. Things just look much nicer there compared to the us.

Good job answering your own question, newfig

Texas is bigger than UK and can match the beauty Just stay out of the cities

VGH, THE TRVCK STOP
Doesn't look like a rural town at the bottom
looks like paradise to the average europoor
It's a fricking back alley. Lots of nice towns have back alleys
>sperging this hard
It's a counter-meme exactly as true as the OP.
They're not rural towns though, they're former industrial towns
Most former industrial towns are in rural areas surrounded by farmland, especially coal towns.
yeah and they look like the top of the op pic
Yeah the U.S can only have nice towns on the coast or in the mountains. Everywhere else in flyovers look like pic rel
Just find small towns that have at least a farming economy and aren't literally nothing but a uniquely awkward Interstate junction.
That's Breezewood PA. There are like 6 awesome ski resort towns within 30 minutes in every direction.
>6 awesome ski resort towns
Appreciate the hot take but I'm not sure that's accurate even by eastern standards of awesome skiing
>malibu

>small towns
come on now m8
now if you were to say, oh, etna or downieville or point reyes station or gasquet (at least before this year), just for example, you might be on to something
>Etna
I've been there. That's barely a town. You'd miss it if there wasn't a stop sign on the highway.
each to his own, I suppose, but two breweries and a distillery, live music every weekend during summer, a couple of fancy bakeries and coffee shops, all amounts to a good deal more than "barely a town" to my way of thinking. now, callahan just down the road, there's your "barely a town"
>awesome ski resorts
do east coasters really?
Half these pictures are hours away. That's like talking about Connecticut when people are discussing NYC
Breezewood is still a glorified truck stop in a rural area.
The nearest residential neighborhood that isn't directly by the highway looks like picrel, which is pretty typical of Rural US.
there's houses right near those shops, i've been there moron
>nearest residential neighborhood that isn't directly by the highway
Reading comprehension, anon.
And if you've been there why do you promote trolling and deception?
he's right, there are houses right by breezewood
I never denied it. You are an idiot too, apparently.
Breezewood is barely anything approximating a town. The town in that county is called Bedford.
is there anything in the midwest worth going for? The food is the worst on earth too
Madison Indiana is really pretty. It's right on the Ohio river. There is a good waterfall hike you can do in town. They did a good job of keeping the downtown looking historic. The food isn't great overall, but there are 3 or 4 very good places to eat and drink in town like Mad Paddie's and the Creperie. You could definitely stop in Madison for a few hours and have a good time walking around Clifty Falls and checking out main street. It's a nice detour between Louisville and Cincinnati to get off the highway.
There's a reason it's called flyover territory lol. The midwest is all the same. People are generally nice, cheap cost of living, shit food and homogenous culture in a 300,000 sqmi area
I’ve been to this exact location and it’s ironic - yes it looks like a capitalist shithole in this direction, but if you turn your head in the opposite direction there are beautiful mountains. Western Pennsylvania has some nice parks for hiking.
why does this highway intersection cause so much seethe
Rural towns emulating the look of European towns I see.
those stroads are an eyesore thoughever
Vermont
New Hampshire
Upstate / Northeast New York (far, far away from the shithole cities)
Northern California near Tahoe, Truckee, Auburn
Texas
Pretty much anywhere that has snow and isn't a big city (a combo that is Black person repellent) tends to be clean and beautiful.
>Upstate / Northeast New York (far, far away from the shithole cities)
Sometimes you don't have to go "far, far" from the cities. In Upstate NY 20-25 minutes on the road is typically all you need to escape even the suburbs. Whether you wind up in a quaint village or a depressed crossroads gas station is another question.
I live here and possibly the closest thing to a "European style" town is Saratoga Springs -- and that's maybe 5% European style because it's actually a town and not pure garbage like many other smaller cities (Troy, Albany). I've been to Skaneateles too and it was ok.
>European style
It doesn't have to be "European style."
The problem is that cute small towns in the US are much harder to encapsulate into a single image. Instead of a bunch of stone houses crammed into a picturesque little street, there are wide avenues lined with large-lawned free-standing houses with lots of trees along the street obstructing views. It's very pleasant to walk along streets like this even if it's not a tourist-tier attraction.
I was always surprised at how fast the city/burbs drop off north of NYC. Seems like a short drive north and you are in small valley villages.
Yeah I think it's that there's a bunch of large state parks right north of the city that break up the urbanization. A few places north of those parks, like Poughkeepsie, still more-or-less count as NY suburbs but it drops off really fast after that. The Hudson river region still tends to be very busy, though. Even if the landscape is rural, there's often lots of traffic between Albany and NYC compared to elsewhere in the state.
I actually really like the random little small farm burgs all around the US. I wish I could live a million lives and live in all of them.
top is clearly a resort town not a rural one
Theres literally nothing to see or explore in america
>no freedom to roam so their national parks sucks
>cities are made from stripmalls and gas stations
>no villages and old towns
>Least delusional yurocuck
You're so right. You should definitely never come here. homosexual.
>Heh my ugly town/city nobody wants to go to doesn't want you anyway
Sad but many such cases
95% but theres a couple nice places
No.
New Hope PA is a really nice small town to visit. Portland Maine has character, and because it’s got the cleanest water on earth it brews the best beer on earth.
only in the northeast because it predates cars and beach towns
>beach towns
which ones?
Beach towns are beautiful
Galena Illinois, plenty of other small towns in the midwest also
Yes, they're all in New England though
California has a lot of amazing small towns. I'll take a California beach town over literally anything in New England on weather alone.
Avalon
Avila Beach
Laguna Beach
Newport Beach
Carmel
Santa Barbara
Sausalito
South Lake Tahoe
Malibu
Tiburon
>California
Is this a joke? You need to go back
Not that anon, but the best small towns in the US are where you find a lot of gays and liberals. I'm not even a liberal myself but its pretty obvious that the redder a place is the more it will be a shithole where the only businesses are a Walmart, Subway (located at the Love's Truck Stop) and Waffle House. There's usually a good gun store though, I'll give you that.
>the redder a place is the more it will be a shithole where the only businesses are a Walmart, Subway (located at the Love's Truck Stop) and Waffle House
you need to go back
This is Laguna Beach in November. It's going to be 85 degrees on Monday. I don't have to check the weather in Cape Cod. I'll just assume it's going to be 38 and sleeting for the next 9 months.
It's also $4000 a month to rent a studio apartment there.
Durango, Colorado. Probably my favorite small town. It's historic while still being lively, lot of young people, tons of bars and restaurants on main street and festivals. It's also much more laid back and less snobby than Aspen or the places insanely rich people ski at.
California is an amazing state if you separate out the politics. It has multiple climates and some of the best natural beauty in America
Florida has way better small beach towns and it's devoid of libs
Florida has beaches, that's for sure. Arguably better ones than California with warmer water more of the year and more open sand. The towns aren't great though. In Laguna Beach you can walk from a beach cove to a sidewalk cafe for lunch and back to your hotel while admiring the paintings of a sidewalk artist... It evokes places like Cannes or Amalfi.
Florida on the other hand is very spread out. There's beach hotels yes but if you want to go to a restaurant you have to drive there, they didn't even put bike lanes in and most Florida beach towns look exactly like the
truck stop Walmart shitholes of the Midwest. Florida is seriously the only place I've seen a Walmart across from a beach.
>towns with a median home price approaching $2.5 million are nice
Really insightful stuff from this subreddit, keep it up guys
The median cost in Laguna Beach is a bad way to measure the actual cost of a home because the insanely expensive homes raise the average. Look on Zillow. There are tons of homes in Laguna for less than a million.
A nurse in California can pull in $180K in their first year. If you're a 2 income family, you can easily afford a million dollar house on that salary. It's not like England where you'd be pulling in 35K.
>moving the goalposts
California really mogs poors so hard
Another example demonstrating "quaint" small-town USA outside of New England.
>outside of new england
>new york
you really showed him anon
Upstate NY is definitely not New England. If you're going to make a lazy sarcastic reply at least try not to be totally moronic about it.
I'm not as familiar with the midwest and don't know where the pleasant small towns are. But I picked a random village in Michigan and quickly found a very similar pattern of large houses with trees and sidewalks.
Upstate NY, most of it anyway, is fricking awful even if its pretty there. There's nothing to do, its all retired boomers who were too dumb to sell when the market was hot and move to Florida and now regret being stuck there because nobody wants to move to somewhere known for being where used to make PCBs but the plant closed. The weather is terrible and even the "cool" towns like Syracuse get like a foot of snow a week 9 months of the year.
I live in the rural southern US. Our towns suck but you're surrounded by tons of barely untouched nature and it's gorgeous. Whenever I look up average euro nature it bums me out. Just endless dreary farmland & tiny boring shrubs except for northern europe. Over here our nature is big and imposing, and outside of the biggest cities you always feel its presence
>Just endless dreary farmland
Yeah there are no mountains in europe... Burger moment
Do you know what the word 'average' means, ESL?
That is average in france not europe. Alps, dinarics, carpathians, apennines. You go there and you WILL get eaten by wolves. Dreary farmland and shrubs my ass
endless sprawl of fast food and people that are unable to use spices or cook good food
this is insane, you know nothing about my country. how the frick are you going to say a southerner doesn't use spices? just don't reply
Do they put spices on that casserole made of marshmallows?
Crested Butte is 1million times more beautiful than anything you can find in Europe. But it's not affordable to visit anymore.
>1million times more beautiful than anything you can find in Europe
now they are just lying to themselves
I fricking love good southern food. Plenty of spices used to season meats, seafood and sauces without being overpowering or try-hard.
>tin condiment cup
kys hipster. you just know this is some overpriced yuppie bait
Believe what you want. If you're ever in central Georgia try Grits Cafe in Macon.
Or if you know a local family that isn't some soda-guzzling ghetto dweller just see what they cook for dinner.
I but you go to places with exposed bricks and $17 burgers before going to your barcades to kek
I had lunch there with my 85 year old grandfather-in-law. He also had me try pickled peanuts which I did not like very much.
Metal tins are a sign of high quality like this BBQ in SOCAL

US and Canada small towns are definitely the best first world rural experiences in the world. The denizens are incredibly nature-hardened and often ride horseback in the local wilderness for hunting or other means, so you have that cozy simple life experience, but since it's in the US/Canada you'll still have every commodity back in town to be able to take your boots off next to a fireplace with indoor a/c and any kind of food you want to pickup/have delivered always be available whether it be seafood despite no oceans nearby or beef.
European rural areas are often very poor and lacking in convenience, as Europe is a poor and lesser developed continent. The people often rely on handouts from their local government rather than take matters into their own hands, thus you'll be hard pressed to find horseback riders or dog hunters and stuff like that.
And to clarify, Europe is still not "third world", it's just lesser developed but still modern enough to become lazy and rely on said handouts. The best rural experiences will always be true third world countries in certain areas. People that are so in-tune with the nature around them that they do shit you've never seen before.
The US/Canada is the best first world rural experience because you get a sample of that kind of experience, but you're still in a perfectly wealthy area with no real danger or inconveniences on the level of the third world on Europe.
Actual small town in US that I used to live in.
Looks exactly the the OP pic kek
>Not reading the thread before posting your epic meme
see:
he obviously read the thread if he is replying to someone and referencing the op pic though? sounds like it just hurt your feelings
There are lots of comfy little american towns that look like pic related
And as for euro towns, yeah you have the quaint little houses with the red roofs and it's cute and all, but there's ugliness in different ways. Something i noticed when living in Germany is there's a lot less greenery interspersed in towns. American small towns are often filled with trees, not to mention our big front yards. Meanwhile I remember frequently being surrounded by almost nothing but concrete in german towns. It was depressing.
pic related, the beauty of european towns. Sometimes you might see a potted plant.
Not Cumberland, Maryland, that's for sure
Annoying homosexuals can frick off with their stupid "bait thread" complaints, maybe they are just embarrassed at the comparative paucity.
Canada has a lot of Hallmark European-style small towns. Perth Ontario is one, even Kingston isn't too bad. I will look through my TikTok to find some more and report back
I've been there, it seemed like a depressing place to live, a Youngstown, Ohio with better scenery.
If you mean Cumberland, yeah huge disappointment for me.
A small town I've driven through but never stopped in that looked nice was Ellicottville in upstate New York.
The population is so small though that that would be a place to live in, not necessarily be a tourist in.
Northeast maybe?
Yes but very few. Probably can count on one hand. Europe had thousands of years of white influence to build culture while whites only came to the US very recently.
not really because of the car culture
only California
> Let's compare the Cotswalds with some random town in the midwest

Jersey Shore has nice towns that were made before cars so there isn't a massive road right next to the beach like California or Florida often have
