New york!!!!! > One, too much urine. Two, too much litter. Three, WAY too many people. Finally, People exist there. They don't live. They don't just take the time to sit down and relax. Now honestly, How many people do you see Sitting outside on their porch talking to their neighbor or playing with their kids or grandkids? Or even stop moving for 2 seconds?? I'm From Mississippi. Yeah, the SOUTH. I swear, I HATE that stereotype That we're dumb and lazy. We just like to relax a little, and people from the North don't understand that. They move around too much! Well, I love you anyway.

St. Louis and Memphis!

I watched a special about the New Madrid fault today. St. Louis and Memphis and anywhere within a 350 mile radius are screwed when that thing lets loose again!

^Good call.

To Russ, I've been in and around NYC, but I honestly am not familiar enough to tell you much about places I liked or disliked. I def have not spent enough time there to know streets or many different areas. However, I just didnt like it, for a couple reasons...
1) Its kinda dirty, I know they've cleaned up crime and such, but I just prefer cleaner areas.
2) Concrete, too much.
3) Too much of a melting pot for me.
4) Class. I'm not saying the city is completely unclassy, but people were just different. A lot more vulgarity, and a lot more rude people. I know NY'ers don't mind, but I do.

Errr... I hate to break this to you, but NY has been found to have the politest people in the world.

I have interacted with two different people who were very blunt and overbearing bordering on rude. But others excused them for this saying "she's from New York". I refused to accept that excuse. After all, I would not want people not expecting me to meet high standards simply because of my hometown.

Baltimore, Provedence, maybe for living. Maybe Santa Monica or Malibu. Richmond City is no where near Richmond County, btw. That is so strange to me.

I would like to visit Savanah (sp?) and Mobile. ATL was too, I don't know. I didn't really like Miami.

Youngstown, OH is much better than Miami.

To everyone who's said that NY is dirty: when was the last time that you've been here? It's definitely cleaned up a lot in the past couple of years. I'd say it's cleaner than some other cities.

I would have to agree...

First of all, no really even lives in Detroit, they live in suburbs of Detroit. That being said their are some very nice areas outside of the Detroit proper area.
Places I wouldn't want to live: Jersey, Ohio, actually the entire midwest and east coast i can do without. Also, the north north like wisconsin and montana (where the men are men and the women are too). The only places that I would live on the west coast would be Monteray CA, Portland OR, and maybe Seattle. I like Nashville and a lot of southern cities, but it can get way too hot for me.
