I answered every question to steer it towards so cal, and the closest I got was palm springs.

But I hear Tennessee has wonderful beaches.

1) Ocala, FL

An old college buddy that now lives in McKinney, TX always said I was a misplaced Texan. Interesting though.

WTF??

With the exception of their #1 for me, Cincinnati, OH (which I'm dead nuts certain I'd hate) and Long Island, NY (huh??) practically my entire list consisted of cities in Tennessee, North Carolina and Washington.

Either the Extreme U&L or Eastern Seaboard 'Neck towns?? That's it?

Okay, I can at least see where Raleigh and Ashland might be pretty sweet.

I don't think any of those New Jersey spots would be wholesome for any of you. You must have picked a lower housing price range but wanted the big city life with sports.

New Brunswick, NJ is 15 minutes away from NYC, yet is filled with what I and my NJ buddies learned from me to call them, "Hajii's" that flood that fucking state to the brim with bad smells fumagating their apartments, bad driving skills ('sup snow and good weather at the same time?), bad manners, and just foul people that flood the region with gold colored Camry's.

Chinks: The Mayor of West Windsor is a chink from a foreign land.

Russians: The are the East Coast version of Mexicans that refuse to learn the English language out here in CA.

You get out of the medium sized NJ cities and then you have your townships like Bruce Springsteen is from, but doesn't sing about in his "Blue Collar" upbringing. Townships like his are kickass and not for the poor even back in the day.

So, in conclusion... if you got a New Jersey place in your list, you must want to live near a major pro sports town without paying elevendy million dollars for that locale.

Olympia, Washington The Evergreen Capital
Loveland, Colorado Rocky Mountain Splendor
Provo-Orem, Utah Living and Learning at their Best
Boise, Idaho The City of Trees
Fort Collins, Colorado The Choice City
Bellingham, Washington The Victorian Seaport
Tacoma, Washington Port City of the Cascades
Colorado Springs, Colorado Garden of the Gods
Greenville, South Carolina The Rising Star of the South
Hickory, North Carolina Blue Ridge Mountain Home
Cincinnati, Ohio The Queen City
Kent, Washington The Heart of Puget Sound
Knoxville, Tennessee Gateway to the Smoky Mountains
Spokane, Washington Northwestern Jewel
Denver, Colorado The Mile High City
Idaho Falls, Idaho High Tech meets the Great Outdoors
Chattanooga, Tennessee City of Vision
Tulsa, Oklahoma A Blend of the Best
Clarksville, Tennessee The New South
Salt Lake City, Utah This is the Place
Norfolk, Virginia Heart of the Hampton Roads
Johnson City-Kingsport, Tennessee Two Natural Wonders
Long Island, New York The Great Island

Mine:

Little Rock, AR :?
Providence, RI (actually been there, nothing to write home about)
Hartford, CT
New Haven, CT
Portland, OR (sup, Dins)
Shreveport-Bossier City, LA (WTF?)
Las Cruces, NM
Alexandria, LA (two in Louisiana -- WTF x2?)
Honolulu, HI (I'd love to live there -- if I could afford to)
San Bernardino, CA
Sacramento, CA (sup, Van)
Las Vegas, NV
Baltimore, MD
Ventura, CA
Fayetteville, AR (another head-scratcher)
Monroe, LA (ditto)
Santa Barbara, CA
Corvallis, OR
Santa Cruz, CA
El Cajon, CA
Eugene, OR
Boston, MA
Charleston, WV
Salem, OR

Suprised at the number of hits I got in the South (I lived there for 3 1/2 years, and wouldn't want to go back), and the U&L (sup, Dins), as well as the scarcity of hits in the U&R (perhaps my dislike of snow has something to do with that).

I wasn't too thrilled about having to give my work telephone number to these people in order to take the survey, either. :brad:

Just got back from a visit to Passaic County. There and Bergen wouldn't be too bad, but Bergen is pretty 'spensive from what I hear. I like the lakes.

For Dins's top 3, I was guessing...

1. Albuquerque, NM
2. Corvallis, OR
3. Los Angeles, CA

1. Dins don't think too highly of arid climates...and Idaho don't have shit for salmon...anymore.

2. White Salmon isn't that far from here...but due to proximity to the Gorge, has Arctic winters, and WAY too many cousinfuckers. I'll pass.

3. Is canada.

Ironic - the only person I have any cities in common with is Trev.
