If You Could Live Anywhere Else...
 
If you could live anywhere else in the country, where would it be?

I think I'd choose Statesboro or Valdosta, GA.

PM_Mama00 02-05-2006 12:23 PM

I love Michigan, but I'd probably move to Brooklyn, NY since the other side of my family is there.

Out of anywhere in the whole country? Can I ask why?

Sorry, I just think people's answers will be more interesting with explanations. Especially the more nonstandard answers.

If I could live anywhere in the whole country, I think I would have to pick DC ... I am an East Coast girl (at least, I think I am so far!), DC is not too far north or south, the public transportation is good, and there is lots to do :)

AUDeltaGam 02-05-2006 12:55 PM

Nashville!!!

Where I hope to move to once I finish up here :)

Sister Havana 02-05-2006 01:04 PM

New York City. :) I first went there when I had an internship in 1994 and since then I've felt that it's my second home.

Buttonz 02-05-2006 01:21 PM

I love NY but I think I'd want to be somewhere warmer.

Tom Earp 02-05-2006 01:34 PM

Next Door.

I own the whole duplex. Mine is a 2 bed room and other is a 3 bed room with a bigger Family Room Nicer FirePlace and More Room to put MY STUFF! Got Lots Of Stuff!:D

Havent found anyplace better than Here and Have Traveled a lot!:)

Remember, The Grass is always greener on the other side of the fence until You jump it and find out it is artifical!:(

CarolinaCutie 02-05-2006 01:47 PM

I'd like to live in Charleston, because it's just an adorable, laid-back Southern town.

Ohh I agree with Laura too... Nashville is awesome :)

Big move you have planned there! ;)

I've lived in NYC & DC, and loved both at the time. I think I'd like to live in a smaller town in Virginia, or in either Williamsburg or Charlottesville. I wouldn't want to be too far from a big city, but I like the countryside.

There's another town, but I'm going to play that one close to the vest. I just wish places were more like when I was younger!

Hey, they're 5 1/2 hours away--you're talking about the largest state east of the Mississippi!

valkyrie 02-05-2006 02:25 PM

I'm not sure -- maybe Portland or Vermont, but I really like where I am. Mr. valkyrie is obsessed with Detroit, but I'm never moving back to the midwest, ever.

FSUZeta 02-05-2006 02:42 PM

naples is a pretty fabulous place to live(at least when the snowbirds are back up north!)

if i had to choose another place, i think it would be tallahassee, birmingham or an atlanta suburb

I highly recommend my current Atlanta suburb! Vinings rocks. :)

If I were going to stay in Atlanta, I would definitely stay in the northwest Atlanta area.

I currently live in The Smynings and love it. It's a great suburb and I'm only 15 minutes from my work in Midtown.

If I could live anywhere else, I'd move back to South Florida in a heartbeat. The sun, beach, warm temperatures year around, and my family.

chitownxo 02-05-2006 05:25 PM

Anchorage, Alaska. I love the vibe of the city, enjoyed meeting the people, and think I could find a home there. I'd have all the outdoor activities I could want, and then I'd be able to relax in a decent-sized city.

summer_gphib 02-05-2006 05:44 PM

St. George Island, FL. They allow dogs on the beach.

There is a $500 fine for dogs on the beach in Cape Canaveral. :mad:

It's also quiet and relaxed there.

I also like Destin.

I would also like to move back to Missouri, but that ain't gonna happen. *lol* Hubby would DIE first. *lmao*

KillarneyRose 02-05-2006 05:48 PM

I would probably move back to Virginia Beach because we have tons of friends there, it's cheap as h*ll and there's lots of fun stuff to do.

A close second choice would be Portland, Maine because it's an awesome little city that feels like a big city as far as restaurants, culture, etc. The people are wonderful and there aren't a lot of them. It's also where we lived when KillarneyBaby #1 was born so I have a bit of a sentimental attatchment to it.

Unregistered- 02-05-2006 05:58 PM

I know that I'd never be able to survive in a city where I don't have family. I come from a gigantic family so setting up shop where they're not there is impossible.

That being said, I'd gladly relocate to either Bellevue, WA; anywhere Bay Area, CA; or Las Vegas, NV.

KunjaPrincess 02-05-2006 06:13 PM

BACK HOME... MASS
 
If money and jobs were not object, I would move back to Mass in a heartbeat. The Framingham Natick area where I grew up. I know more people there and I loved the state.
Washington is great but it is more the Husbands home than mine :D

UKDaisy 02-05-2006 06:36 PM

I would like to try living in like New York City for a bit, just a bit. Its too northern for me - I get cold too easily!

Then maybe a cute town in the south, somewhere warm with a beach nearby.

But I'd always want to end up home, Lexington. Kentucky is my home. :) I couldn't leave it for very long.

Denise_DPhiE 02-05-2006 09:09 PM

San Diego, without a doubt. Ran a convention out there about five years ago and loved the laid back lifestyle. I grew up on Lawn Gi-Land (NY) near the beach so it is a must to be near water. Unfortunately, the closest to water I get now are New Jersey lakes.

Denise

HotDamnImAPhiMu 02-05-2006 09:11 PM

Charleston, SC or Savannah, GA.

ADqtPiMel 02-05-2006 09:57 PM

I grew up in Indiana and Ohio and I go to school in Ohio. I HATE the Midwest.

DC is my home...I can't wait to move there in a few months.

Oh I'm from that area! Although I was glad to leave the suburbs and move to the city.

Munchkin03 02-05-2006 10:04 PM

Because this list may become reality in 2008...
 
1. Boston
2. San Francisco
3. Paris
4. London
5. Philadelphia

I love all of these cities, and it would not take me very long to find a job in my field!

Rollergirl2001 02-06-2006 01:16 AM

1. Dallas (I want to be close to the Cowboys)
2. Orlando (Cool city)
3. Phoenix (Beautiful city)
4. Los Angeles (I want to go to the beach)

I've never been to those cities before. Heck I've haven't been out of town in almost 5 years. I so want to leave Memphis.

Where? I graduated from Ashland High School.

amycat412 02-06-2006 03:39 AM

I can't see ever leaving CA for long...but if I did it would be for NYC or DC. LOVE both those places and visit often.

I definitely feel the same way. I absolutely love cali, although I'm undecided on whether I perfer northern or southern california. Perfect weather....whether you want snow or beaches, you get there in a day's drive. Great cities. Great people (especially in northern cali).

I went to Framingham High.

KSigkid 02-06-2006 10:05 AM

I love living around Boston, but I'd really like to try the D.C./Virginia area.

Wherever I go, I've lived in New England my whole life, so I figure I should try another area for a while. Luckily my parents dragged my sister and I on a ton of roadtrips around the country when we were younger, so I have an idea of what I like and what I don't like.

well, the cowboys will be moving to arlington in a few years. but they are still close to dallas. i wish they would have just forked up money and demolish the cotton bowl and put the stadium there.

Dionysus 02-06-2006 12:45 PM

Just about anywhere in SoCal.

The best answer I've seen so far.


As for me. It would depend on my age, but if I had to say something right now I'd just say Santa Barbara or Santa Cruz.

Optimist Prime 02-06-2006 02:12 PM

I like California

I want to see Texas Stadium before it's become history. I've seen drawings of the new stadium and it looked pretty sweet.

adpiucf 02-06-2006 05:42 PM

I'd love to live in London or Boston next.

GeekyPenguin 02-06-2006 06:38 PM

D.C., without a doubt.
