I really enjoyed the last 3 weeks with Wheel's salute to Seattle, Denver, & Philadelphia.
If they do this next season, what 3 cities would you like to see?
My picks are Atlanta, Chicago, & Nashville.

Either that (and I BETTER be on that week), San Diego, or Portland. Keep it all on the West Coast.

I frankly don't care if they're not actually going to tape in any of the cities in question.  |

Besides, they didn't tape in my hometown of Denver this season, so I had to fly all the way out to Los Angeles, along with tuffy and cowheelfan, to a log cabin setting with the Denver night sky as the background. |

The Denver sky line looked awesome! Though I was jealous of the Seattle monorail haha. I was just thinking how it would've been cool to have had a bunch of friends in the audience for the taping had they taped in Denver, but aside from that, I have no issue with them taping the show wherever they want!
Judging by how they picked the cities this year, I'd imagine they'd try to do something similar for next: a city on/towards the east coast, one on/towards the west coast, and one towards the middle of the country, but who knows!

Well, it looks like Great American Cities is going to be a thing next season as well, with Chicago being one of them. Pat and Vanna are shooting segments there this week and there's a Wheelmobile event for the area next month. Thanks to Prizes for linking me this. www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/tv/ct-wheel-of-fortune-hosts-filming-in-chicago-20160525-story.html"A "Wheel of Fortune" rep said Sajak and co-host Vanna White are filming at locations around the city for episodes set to air next season. The rep declined to give details about the upcoming shows, but said no gameplay is being filmed here."  |

I can chime in that Harry told us in the green room that he was hoping to make Great American Cities a yearly tradition (he said Denver was one of his favorites with which I completely agree... How could you go wrong with this city?! Haha)

It sucks as a fan, but alas, from Harry and Sony's perspective, and thinking somewhat rationally in a producer's shoes? To say nothing of the fact that Sony has dropped about 12.5% since Season 33 started, by air date, I think it's as simple as this image:  Also, per North End Chicago-based Loop North News, the Chicago-based locations Pat and Vanna are set to tape at for bumpers and the like are the following: |

I'm sure Harry secretly wants to do road shows again, but with budget issues, we'll just have to settle with Great American Cities paying tribute to some of the most popular cities. Paul and I did remember Harry saying Denver was his favorite because he knows some people that live there. He's definitely a friendly man and whatever choice he makes for the show, I'll always respect it, even if it leaves some of us scratching our heads out of confusion.
