OK, as of today, I have 363 days left before I graduate from law school. YAHHH ME!! During my so-called summer vacation and the upcoming fall semester, I am hoping to land permanent employment. The thing is that I don't want to stay in the (great) state of Louisiana. I am ready to branch out and explore other parts of the US. I've even considered moving abroad, but I'm not sure if I'm quite ready to do that, considering the state of international affairs these days.
So, here's where my wonderful GC family comes in.
I'm looking for some recommendations as to where I should consider moving. I am open to just about any place, but I would like to live somewhere that would afford me a good blend of cultural experiences, ability to mingle with a collection of young, professional, upwardly mobile African-Americans, low to moderate crime (I know that no place is perfect, but I can't live in the murder capital either), affordable housing, and an all-around good quality of life.
So, if you live somewhere, have lived somewhere, or just know a lot about a particular place and can offer me some advice, hook me up! It would be GREATLY appreciated!
