Wow, I know just what you mean. There is something about blatant excess, isn't there? *wink* I meant that sincerely though, there's definitely something about the magic of materialism that is self-consciously compelling.
And then, there's the fangirl in me who dragged everybody to James Dean's street when in New York, and wouldn't rest until she'd taken a picture of that particular parking corner at the Hollywood observatory.
Seriously, you sound like my dream travel companion. I'm always the one who wants to see landmarks like that - I'd find out which gas station a movie I loved was filmed at, or do one of those Stars' Homes tours in Los Angeles. *hides her face in shame* New York is just an amazing city, but really, who can go there without riding the subway, eating at the Life Cafe, or looking out from the top of the Empire State Building? Have wanted to do that since seeing Sleepless in Seattle. Remind me to look you up if I ever get around to that backpacking through Europe thing.
