Truckee, California. This town sits on the Truckee River, about 30 miles west of Reno, and 15 miles north of Lake Tahoe. It is high in the Sierras (at the foot of Donner Pass) and is served by both Interstate 80 and Amtrak. It was a great hidden gem, back in the 1970's and early 80's. However, I have heard that it has been turned into a playground for the rich---which may be why it didn't make this list.

Decent list, but in my opinion, one huge, glaring omission. You left off Missoula, Montana from the list. That town definitely deserves a spot on the list. The book and movie "A River Runs Through It" was set in and around Missoula. While fairly expensive, it wouldn't have been the most expensive town on this list, and it has a lot going for it. Solid food and beer scene, tons of nearby outdoor activities, decent nightlife and music scene, and a university. All nestled into the mountains. What more could you ask?

If you're in the St. Louis area, check out Grafton, IL. It is a small river town on the convergence of the Mississippi and Illinois rivers. The flood of 1993 devastated this little town, and its future seemed up in the air. They have come back amazingly. Every time I go back to visit family in the area, something new and great pops up in this town. They have great restaurants, a winery way up on a bluff, specialty shops, antique stores, and a pretty good water park that was built in the bluffs and designed to blend in with the natural beauty. Not only is it an amazing success story that defied the odds, but it is, in its own right, a pretty cool little town that looks and acts like a vacation destination.

Just like you mentioned in the video, it was a Field of Dreams tournament. My son's team loved the experience so much last year that we are going again this season. It was magical at the Field of Dreams Movie Site in Dyersville. We walked a bit of the riverwalk in Dubuque and I loved it. Very picturesque with the bridges going over the mighty Mississippi River.

We have UNCW, Cape fear ports, Azalea Fest, Octoberfest, Riverfest, and Screen Gems Studios. It is a small movie town.

I've been waiting for Savannah to pop up in one of your videos. It took long enough. And it is a great place to live. Incredible restaurants, parks, historic neighborhoods. I actually moved here from Portland, OR. I can tell you it was absolutely an upgrade. Schools are awful unless you can afford private. But, if your kids are out of school... Crime depends almost entirely on what part of town you're in. If you're paying less than $350,000 for your house then you're probably in the wrong neighborhood. Crime may happen. But it's extremely old and ornate and it's the closest thing to a European style of city this country has. And a massive plus is that the city is quite compact. Unlike Portland, everything isn't an hours' drive from everything else. I get so sick of driving when I visit family back in Oregon.

Although technically a large city and the capital of Minnesota, St Paul is another cool river town and has some interesting history regarding its foundation. One of the first European's in the area, known as "Pig's Eye Pierre," due to his being blind in one eye, had a foundation in one of the sandstone caves along the Mississippi River known as Fountain Cave, and he set up a distillery inside of the cave. There was a spring of water which he used to support the liquor making process, and for a while the region was known literally as Pig's Eye. Later, a Catholic church would be built and the settlement would become what is today St. Paul. Today you can drive by the area where the caves existed via a road just off of the freeway into St Paul, and I believe there were rumors of "river pirates" camping there at one point, although I am not entirely sure if that is true.

Everything depicted on the internet appeared to be as advertised if it was open. This was in the late 90s and most of the attractions were closed for the weekend. They did have public fireworks on the 4th. We left and drove to Wisconsin to visit the House On The Rock in Spring Green. A great attraction for adolescents and a bit of fun for adults entertained by 'what was he thinking' reactions.

In both countries they defended graffiti as artistic expression and it was widely tolerated…a thought process I never got comfortable with. I liked living in both places. We got pickpocketed twice in Spain and probably would have in Portugal but we lived there second and by then were a bit wiser. I never felt all that unsafe in either country and would go back without fear.

Cool video! Helen, Georgia would be interesting to see because it's like Leavenworth, Washington (also on/near a river), but in the South instead of the Northwest. Hood River is nice! My family stayed there for a reunion. I've visited the underground tunnels and heard the Shanghai'ing stories in Portland, Seattle, and Fresno, but not yet Savannah.

I loved Portsmouth! I need to go back and spend a few days there. So happy to see it on this list! PS Hood River is great! It's worth the 4 or 5 hour drive from my house in Edmonds WA

Ya might look at Ft Smith, Arkansas on the Arkansas River. Lots of history including the hanging Judge Parker and it was where the Trail of Tears ended before they received their last supplies before going into the Oklahoma Indian Territory. Little bit of crime. Homes I’ve seen on the net, livable, for low $200k. Some really nice historic homes.

I've actually been through that town by accident. My dad gave me a paper map and I refused to pay the tolls and wound up at Ft Smith! My phone connection was very bad driving though the mountains until I arrived to Ft. Smith...the best place for wifi was next to their McDonald's.

The Bruisers were from Portsmouth, NH. With Hood River, it's the windsurfing capital of the US. It also has a really cool car and airplane museum.

Hey- I’m from Dubuque! We have some newly renovated historic buildings now called the millwork district with excellent restaurants, breweries, and an old style arcade. Highly recommended you to visit again!

Sand point Idaho would be on my list. I lived there for six months while working for the Army in the area.
