Hey I wanted to make this thread early. I think that the US Nationals 2010 should be held on the east coast, possibly Manhattan, NY, or other major cities such as D.C., Boston, Massachusetts, or Providence, Rhode Island. This is because a lot of very fast cubers/very important and essential cubers are from the Northeast region, and would be able to attend the competition with less difficulty. Manhattan is also very urban, with many methods of transportation to help facilitate travel to the venue, including amtrak, MTA (Long island bus, Long island railroad, New York City subways), path trains, and New Jersey transit, especially for Bob.
Twice, the US Nationals has been held in California. Other times, it has been held in other major cities like Chicago, and Atlanta. We should rotate the cities that this important competition is held in. Next year, it is the east coast's 'turn' to have the national championships. There are many cities to choose from, and I believe this is a valid point that should be taken into consideration.
Plus, I believe that having US Nationals on the (north)east coast would make it much easier for European and Canadian cubers to attend (less expensive flight rates, and shorter traveling distances).
Lastly, many of these cities have many tourist attractions, especially New York and D.C. A lot of people don't want to travel across the country or the world, and have little or nothing to do.
