A while ago, I was reading a Top Ten Geek Destinations list on CNN, and it was mostly tech destinations, like Microsoft and Apple, or the dorm where facebook was invented. Although the places seemed interesting, I quickly came up with another list of Geeky Destinations that allow us to geek out not about technology, but about places where the awesomeness of geek culture happened. This is that list.
Astoria, OR
The home of the Goonies. That’s enough, right? Also a shooting location for Short Circuit 2 and the Ring 2, they like sequels apparently. Who wouldn’t want to visit this beautiful waterside location where One-Eyed Willie once sailed? Actually, my husband and I are planning to retire there someday.
