The Henry Ford Among Best U.S. Places To Stand

It's a story that's trying to stand on its own.

The website StoodThere.com is asking people to world to vote on the one hundred best places in the U.S. to stand--and have your picture taken.

The Top Ten right now includes the Hoover Dam, Empire State Building, Niagara Falls, Statue of Liberty, Grand Canyon, etc, but some of the lesser known locations are making a good showing - most notably The Lost Sea at Craighead Caverns in Tennessee.  The Henry Ford in Dearborn was 47th.  At the other end of the list are Plymouth Rock and the Las Vegas Strip.

Voting runs thru until the start of December when the winners will be announced. Voters are also being persuaded to add a photo of themselves to the lists if they have actually been to any of the locations.

The full list is viewable here
