This is kind of tricky, but who can resist to such a challenge? I know I can’t. Still, good luck!

Moving on to another advantage of traveling to Texas, we meet the Blue Bell Creamery.

The idea of building the dam took shape in the late nineteenth century, when people lived in the desert, but they were occasionally flooded by the Colorado River and in order to eliminate this phenomenon, have proposed the building of a dam to stop the water once for all and in the meantime in order to use it for irrigation and to produce electricity.

Although the idea was a great one, people of Mid-West and East did not quite agree to consume the resources of the federal government for what it was strictly a western people’s problem. Moreover, the water here was as valuable as gold and for this project they had to agree with other six neighbor countries. The merit of this agreement between states is owned by J. Edgar Hoover, the politician who brought to the table of discussion the states involved in the project.

For the construction of this dam there were included four companies who merged into a single one and along with expert geologists, hydrologists and engineers, they agreed on the optimal design. There could be found in the desert a river crossing it and as a result they built for the first time a town with roads and railways, called by the workers Boulder City. Located near the city of Las Vegas, in the few days off that the workers were having, the place served as one of fun and relax, where they spent money on gambling, alcohol and women.

When you visit Hoover Dam, you will find out that the construction of it involved an enormous amount of materials and for its transportation from elsewhere there was required a long time and huge funds were spent. In this way there have been made the first steps in the building of a factory right next to the dam, in order to secure the necessary equipments to raise the dam. Being built under the heat of the desert, the dam came up with another problem.

The builders had to fight against the heat of the sun that was rapidly hardening the concrete, so in addition to the concrete factory, they had to build another one in order to produce ice. This ice could cool the concrete and so the great building was completed 4 years before the planning made by the designers. Now you understand why I suggested you to visit Hoover Dam, right?

South Beach is probably the most recognized area with art deco buildings in colors of candies on the background of the blue sky, pastel sand beaches and palm trees swayed by the wind.

We suggest to you Greater Miami, which is a shopping center, financial, cultural and related to sport and entertainment, transport. It is also a touristic center, which is also the main source of income for the city.

Buildings as Trump Taj Mahal are worth $ 1 billion and came right at the seashore. Today Atlanta is among the main destinations in America, where 37 million people spend up to $ 4 billion for its attractions every year.

I have heard so many things already about Trump Taj Mahal that I would like to visit Atlantic City, New Jersey at least in order to see it with my own eyes. The huge amounts of money may scarry me at first, but I don’t think that anyone will say something against me just looking at the building.

From humble beginnings – in 1835 there was a group of houses near the river Chicago – the city was animated with activities, being rightly called “the city that works”. By 1890 it became the second city in America, after New York. In 1871, when a small fire in the western city turned into a blazing inferno, destroying everything within the city, the residents had the opportunity to rebuild the city to its foundations. This result consisted of wider streets and better sanitation.

If you are planning to visit Chicago, you should take into account the fact that it is famous for its jazz and blues clubs, and rightly so. But if the music is not on your taste, you can dine in the finest restaurants – you will find everything from food to exotic bacon.

Perhaps the most important feature of the city is its great architecture. Although it is not as big as New York, downtown is one of the most beautiful due to due the different styles of the buildings. You can live an unforgettable experience in the heart of town – standing on a bridge over the river Chicago, you have The Wrigley Building on one side and on the other one the high towers of the great center.

Located in the northern half of Georgia, which is also known as the Piedmont, the landscape of Atlanta consists of amazing and unique hills tucked between the very rugged mountains and a vast plain. Its unique geographical position has made Atlanta to be the center of transportation in the South since the nineteenth century. The railroads, the highways and the airport (in 2006 it was the most crowded in the world) have made the city accessible and attractive to the others, especially for commercial agreements.

Atlanta is a city of crossroads. Until the Civil War began in 1861, Atlanta was already a railroad center, a manufacturing center and warehouse supplies, so just try to imagine how it looked like!

Today, Atlanta is spread over 20 provinces and 100 cities and villages. Nearly 5 million people live and work in this area. Atlanta itself is a city with an area of 352km ² with 430,000 inhabitants. In this area there are several neighborhoods, each one of them having its own personality and over 52 different streets are named as “Peach”.

Its scary name attracts the people from around the world, but what strikes them at the point of arrival is not only the brutality of the area, but also its spectacular and varied beauty, with Deadman Pass and Dry Bone Canyon which is in contrast with the dramatic hills and mountains, like Telescope Peak at 3,353 meters. Under the sun of the desert, hundreds of species of plants and animals are native to this dry environment and forty of them can be found only here and nowhere else on earth.

Like many other cities, the railway was its key to success. As a frontier with The Wild West, Dallas has earned its reputation of a place for entrepreneurs and brave people. The infamous Doc Holliday started here its career as a dentist, passing to the carrier of gambler and gunfighter. In the 1870s two railroads met in Dallas, forming the catalyst point for the rapid change of the city into a shopping center.

Before the development of finance and industry, the Neiman Marcus store put Dallas on the fashion map in 1907. The Federal Reserve Bank was founded in Dallas in 1914 and then the oil said its own word. The researcher Joiner came across “the black gold” at 160 km to the east of Dallas in 1930. Dallas was already a financial and business center, so it easily became a center of the oil industry.

Despite all the accumulation of business, Dallas knows how to have fun. There have been invented the ice machine called “Margarita” and the chicken “Tex-Mex fajita”. Unfortunately for Dallas, despite its innovative power, the city will be known even more because of a shooting or two. The first one and the most shocking too was held on November 22nd, 1963, when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in his convertible limousine in the center of Dallas. The second one was fictional, but when J.R. Ewing was shot by an unknown killer in “Dallas” television series, all the 130 countries that were broadcasting the show have been shocked.

But Dallas always looked to the future. The transport proved again to be a vector of development in the 1960s when, along with Fort Worth, decided to build a new airport (Dallas-Fort Worth International). Also if you visit Dallas, you will see the largest bronze monument in the world, called Dallas Convention Center.

Whether you visit Dallas in gentle winters or in hot summers, the city has both modest apartments for rent and The Mansion of Turtle Creek, one of the most famous hotels in the world. With 10% of the workforce involved in the industry of hospitality, Dallas is a really friendly city that will catch your attention from the very beginning.

Hollywood is a district of the city of Los Angeles, California which was founded in 1857. For the early 1900s, several film production companies in New York and New Jersey began to move to the sunny California because of the good weather and longer days. Although the electric light existed already at that time, it was not strong enough to adequately expose a film; the best light source for film production was sunlight and therefore, they moved to Hollywood.

You should also know about The Nestor Company, which was the first movie studio in the Hollywood area. It was founded in 1911 by David Horsley and in that year there were filmed fifteen independent movies. A great start, isn’t it?

The famous Hollywood sign was erected in 1923 and it was designed to promote the new housing developments on the hills of Hollywood. It was initially designed to show the word “Hollywoodland“. Unfortunately, for many years that sign was left to deteriorate and its beauty disappeared day by day. In 1949, the Chamber of Commerce of Hollywood stepped in and offered to remove the last four letters and to repair the other ones. The sign, which was located in Griffith Park, was registered as a trademark and can not be used without the permission of the Chamber of Commerce of Hollywood, which manages the venerable Walk of Fame too.

The famous Capitol Records building on Vine Street, in the north of The Boulevard of Hollywood, is a recording studio closed for public visits, but its unique circular and great
architecture is special because it looks like an amazing stack of floors!
