Default American Hostels

I've been busy working on BUG America and I've come across several big cities that don't seem to have any hostels.

Does anyone know if there are any hostels in the following cities:

- Baltimore
- Memphis
- Milwaukee*
- Pittsburgh*

* Milwaukee and Pittsburgh used to have hostels, but they closed recently.

Also there are a couple of cities that are poorly served by hostels:

- Dallas (just one small hostel in the suburbs)
- Detroit (just one hostel across the border in Windsor, Ontario)

If anyone is aware of any hostels in these cities, can you please let me know about them. To qualify as a hostel it must offer shared dormitory-style accommodation.

Default Hostels in the States

Tim,

I've talked to a Philadelphia resident who's interested in your project. She's actually willing to spend her first night at a hostel right here in Philly.

But unfortuneatly I can't help you with those other cities.

Best of luck

Hey Tim,

I've seen that you've done an extensive update to your hostel section. I'll make it a point to revisit the hostels here in Philly. Chamonix and Bank Street. These two hostels are very different from each other but they're also both very good.
