I'm interpreting the list as "52 places you might not have considered" because in each of their categories (national park, metro, attractions, etc.) many obvious - and IMO better - choices are avoided, at least for the US.

Agreed - it would likely be trivial to come up with a list of 52 tourist meccas that everyone's heard of. Washington, DC, London, Moscow, etc - I mean you could probably visit the 52 largest national capitals and have a great tourist experience. It's nice to see a list with places I never would have considered, even if it is odd to see ND and St. John on the same list.

  But Washington DC is on the list :) Probably because the standard touristy East Coast destination is NYC.

    I'll be honest, I only went through the first handful of cities! The perils of being on HN in a cube farm :)
