Metros in your state/province you've never been to
What are some small to midsized metros or regions of your state/province you've never been to? In Texas I've never been to San Angelo, Victoria, Lubbock, Laredo or Brownsville/RGV.
|
The biggest urban area I have never been to in BC is Prince George (90 000).
|
In Arizona, I haven't visited Yuma or Flagstaff and only kinda visited Prescott on a few occasions (like meet some one for dinner and then drive back to Phoenix). I have driven through Yuma and Flagstaff, but haven't visited.
|
I've driven through Jacksonville on I-95 on my way somewhere else on the East Coast but never got off the freeway. The largest that I have never been to in any way would be Pensacola.
|
In PA, the most common metro PA residents haven’t been to is very likely Erie, given its location in the NW corner. For me, have never been to Lancaster-York area.
In FL, never been to Gainesville. |

Other than chicago, where I live, I've shamefully never spent any real amount of time exploring any of illinois' other MSAs.
Sure, I've done plenty of drive-thrus/drive-bys, but actual feet on the ground, walking the streets experience? Nope, not in any of them. I should probably change that one of these decades.... It's kinda funny how I'm 1,000x more well-travelled within wisconsin and michigan than I am within my own state, but that's just how many of us chicagoans are oriented. "GO NORTH!" |
I've been in all three counties of Delaware before. I was actually in all three counties today, to check out a brewery at the other end of the state!
|
columbus, rome, warner robbins are probably the main ones.

Texas: Rio Grand Valley, San Angelo and Midland.
New York: most of Long Island. |
Ohio: Toledo, Akron, Youngstown, Portsmouth, Athens
Arizona: Bullhead City/Lake Havasu City, Sierra Vista, Bisbee, Tombstone |
Alaskan. I have yet to go to Juneau or anywhere else in Southeast.
Juneau is a straightforward flight from Anchorage, but when I do go, I'd like to do the epic drive to Haines from Fairbanks, and then the afternoon ferry to Juneau. |
I've not only been to every metro in California, I've been to every sizeable city in every corner of this massive state. Obviously this took a lifetime, but I've lived in every region and I've always been an avid daytripper. Looking at the map and picking my next adventure is a favorite pastime.

In Nevada I've been to basically every town (not that there are that many of them). In CA, the most sizable place I haven't been to is probably El Centro. |
I’ve lived in NYC for over 20 years and have never been to Buffalo or Rochester. Kind of sad, actually.

grafton on the mississippi river and historic alton are worth a stop. elsah illinois has a very interesting vibe (new england?) and is right there too...feels like an m. night shyamalan set. its kind of a package deal there on the river road just north of st. louis. i think i’ve been to most MSAs and micropolitans or whatever in illinois south of I-80. i used to catch the train to chicago from quincy in my late teens and twenties after my parents moved to a farm north of st louis and listen to sufjan stevens “come on feel the illinoise” passing through places in the album, lol. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...-_Illinois.jpg wikipedia.com |
In North Carolina, I've never been to Fayetteville or Wilmington. As for Wilmington, from Western North Carolina it's closer to go to either the Virginia or South Carolina beaches than it is to go to the North Carolina beaches. And as for Fayetteville, no one has ever voluntarily gone to Fayetteville and those who stay there once ordered to go there only do so because Stockholm syndrome has set in. Having never personally been there, that information comes to me from several reliable members of the military and/or their spouses who were sentenced to time in Fayetteville and all unanimously agree it's horrible.
As for South Carolina I've pretty much covered my bases, living in Greenville-Spartanburg, and having been to Rock Hill, Myrtle Beach, Columbia, Charleston, Sumter, and Florence. If you want to count it though, I've never been to Augusta, GA, whose metro area sprawls north into South Carolina. |
São Paulo state has 45 million people, 21 million on the capital's metro area, therefore there are plenty of metro areas/urban centres upstate above 200k. They're wealthy, but quite generic as while São Paulo coast is dramatic, with their 1,000m high mountains, covered by forest, the hinterland is quite flat, covered by sugarcane.
Even though they're not touristic, few years ago, I decided to take a weekend roadtrip, and got to know a dozen of them: Campinas (3 million), Limeira (320k), Rio Claro (220k), São Carlos (250k, with one of the best aerospace museums in the world), Araraquara (270k), Ribeirão Preto (1 million), Piracicaba (400k) and Americana-Sta.Bárbara (500k). And outside those, there are plenty of others I also know and yet to know. São José do Rio Preto (600k), Bauru (380k), Araçatuba-Birigui (300k), Presidente Prudente (300k), Marília (250k), São José dos Campos-Taubaté (1.6 million), Jundiaí (700k), Sorocaba (1 million), those last three inside São Paulo macrometropolitan area. In the coast, we have Santos region (1.8 million). |
I've Never been to the home town of Paul Shaffer..That being Thunder Bay.
