I will never remember who said it, but I do recall reading an article a few years ago wherein an urban expert stated that the three American cities with the most spectacular natural settings were Pittsburgh, San Francisco, and Asheville.
Some other cities I can recall as having great settings from photo threads I looked at here were Rapid City, SD; Twin Falls, ID; and Cincinnati. Even our old standbys like New York and Miami have really great natural settings, you have to admit. New York with those rivers and the Palisades across the Hudson and Miami with the barrier island.

It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.” -- Joseph Heller, Catch-22
