You?

Colorado is the best place to live and have no intention of leaving, but north New Mexico and all of Idaho are amazing. I lived on the Texas coast for a while and anywhere from Galveston to Houston would be nice too.

If the question was, "Anywhere outside the US" I'd have to say Perth or Gothenburg.

Great movie though.

Always though I might like Washington, Oregon, parts of California. Areas of Colorado too for sure.

Requiem · 09-08-2010, 11:18 AM

Well,

I'm moving back to North Dakota for the time being. I really enjoy it up there.

As far as places I'd go, I think I would be good anywhere.

Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington all interest me a great deal. Colorado as well. Minnesota is okay too, but there aren't mountains there.

I've always heard the Carolina's are really majestic, and from what little I saw of South Carolina, I agree -- though I'm not too keen on living in the South. I'm not sure that the Northeast is where I would want to be either.

Nah, it's not that bad at all, unless you live right on the eastern shores of Lake Ontario or Lake Erie. Those are tough areas to live IMHO, the lake effect snowfall rates will blow your mind there.

I laughed at the so-called winters while I was in North Carolina. Temps in the 40's & 50's and with a half inch of snowfall, everything closes down as if a major disaster was occuring (which was very strange to me since the snow always had melted away by noontime).

I'll probably always have a home in Austin (the birthplace and final resting place of all that is cool)---but I see myself venturing west to Denver first and then onward to San Diego at some point in my life.

Not a bad choice. I loved my visit there. Beautiful country, nice people and a very good health care system.

I'm late to the party but interesting thread.

Places I have lived in the past - Missouri, Ohio, Virginia, Michigan, Washington, Arizona, Colorado, and Kentucky (some places multiple times)

Each place had it's good and bad. Arizona was the only one that I just did not enjoy at all. Sadly, I didn't enjoy Colorado all that much. I'm a mid-westerner at heart and while the area was beautiful, it just never really felt like home. I'm considering moving to Florida but I can envision that decision backfiring as I'll think it'll be like I'm on vacation but the sunburns and constant humidity will have me miserable.

In the end, I almost think I'd like to go back to Michigan if given the chance. I don't know why as nothing particularly appealed to me but it was just quaint enough and I love a beautiful winter. Being resistant to culturization scares me away from the North East.

If you don't succumb to Seasonal Affect Disorder from non-stop rain nine months out of the year.

(On the west side of the Cascades, that is.)

Apart from Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eric Johnson, what else has come from Austin that could be construed as "cool?"

Haven't seen the movie, but ya sounds about right. You forgot the crushing taxes, too. While there is definitely some nice areas and some good months up there, the place needs more sun. Speaking of sun - dont you live in dark and bleak Seattle?

Los Broncos · 10-29-2010, 09:43 AM

This is the view from the cabin.

missingnumber7 · 11-03-2010, 08:33 AM

I'd move to either Colorado Springs or Manhattan MT.

He does, so he should be used to dark, bleak, cold and crushing taxes

Either to North Carolina or Colorado. Or Washington State. I am a country gal at heart!
