i have to laugh a foreigners in the united states that say the USA is an ugly place just because they saw an aria in a city that was run down. the truth is...
first in our national parks, we have 58, here's a list and the acreage they cover. some are well over a million acres. just one...

then we have state parks
in Minnesota where i live there are 68 state parks that cover 300,000 acres
that's just one state out of fifty...
local parks... every city and town has at least one... millions of small parks...
then there are arias that aren't even considered parks, i can walk out my door and
be in a wooded aria by a stream that isn't even parkland here's a picture of a pileated woodpecker i took right outside my window. the wildlife right outside my door is amazing.
every town and city has historic old homes and churches, courthouses ect...
you get the picture, America is truly beautiful.
