Last week we had this discussion thread about possible host cities for future ANA conventions. In the ANA survey it also asked the question about what cities you would suggest as possibilities for future conventions that were not listed as choices in the "choose five" selection.
Besides for the cities that were listed in the "choose five" group, what cities, in your opinion, do you think would be ideal for hosting a future ANA convention? Remember that this is with regards to the American Numismatic Association so only places under jurisdiction of the United States would be feasible choices.
Here were my choices for cities that were not listed as choice options:
Las Vegas, NV
San Diego, CA
Washington, DC
New Orleans, LA
There are also a few cities that I definitely would not want to host a convention. In an effort to not offend anybody for the time being, I will not release that list at this time.
What would be your choices?

Why not Nome? Or perhaps somewhere like Vladivostok?

The last one had tremendous attendance.
The politics surrounding the show date / location needs to stop.

Vladivostok is too hard to get to, especially after Alaska Airlines discontinued service there from Anchorage. Besides, this is for the American Numismatic Association and not the Russian Numismatic Association.
I see New York, NY being given as an answer often, but it was listed as a choice in the "pick five" group. What other places would you want a convention held at that was not listed as a choice in that group?

My "pick five" for the rotating schedule were Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York, and Chicago. Can I help it if I don't like flying to the left coast
Is it true that the 2011 summer ANA is not yet awarded?

Good eats, good location, bad pun.
[edit] I've gone to some good trade shows at the New Orleans Convention Center.
[edit edit] Isn't there a mint there or something? Might be an appropriate city.

N'Awlins would be an excellent choice- except, perhaps, that no one would be able to remember what they did afterward.

New Orleans is a wonderful place for a convention. Yes, Bourbon street will distract some. However, the New Orleans Mint is looking great, and it would be wonderful to to have an ANA show anywhere close to the south.

That gives us a choice of several states...
San Diego would be a great city for any convention. --Jerry
N.O. is probably an even better choice for the "mid-year" ANA.
On the other hand, I don't know if the city has rebuilt sufficiently to support a major convention.

It was in Milwaukee last august largely because the current U.S. Mint director is from Milwaukee.
OK I have to admit I am a liitle bit of a fan of the Big Easy.
The following link shows some pictures of a visit a to the New Orelans mint recently. It is a wonderful place to visit.

Works for me, any place within driving distance.

Well...I agree that SAN has possibilities; but what about all that humidity and mosquitos and wind and hurricanes and floods and the ugly pacific ocean and the lousy SAN Zoo? Plus...we had an earthquake here about 100yr ago, so we may be due for another one any time now.
OK...I live in SAN; so I'm prejudiced.

<< <i>The 1981 ANA was in New Orleans and I remember it as a pretty solid show, especially given that the market was near rock bottom at the time.

The French Quarter, the airport, the convention center and many other parts of New Orelans had little or no damage due to the hurricane. As far as conventions and tourisits go the city is 100%. Yes, there are still a few places that need a large amount of work. However, they are not areas of town that would effect a convention.
But, don't take my word for it. Check it out for yourself.
New Orleans
There have been many national events and conventions here in the last few years and the idea that New Orelans is still in trouble or not ready for tourists and conventions is not true.
Yes, I live in the city and love it!
There is actually a coin show here next weekend.
