I find that the only time people visit real touristy things is when they are hosting people from out of town. For years I lived next to San Francisco and barely saw any of it, then I moved to France and realized what an idiot I had been. It was a lesson learned. I profited from my 3 years in Europe by traveling and visiting all the time. And when I moved back to San Francisco, I started visiting things like Alcatraz (I had never been) and many other local sites. You never know what you have until you don't!

I think I've probably done 99% of the big tourist things in SF, simply due to my job and the fact that I've had dozens of visitors in my year and a half there; however, Nashville? Nada.
