South Florida.
I love the unique atmosphere and the weather is a big plus. I love that it is summer-like weather for 10 months out of the year. I'm currently in Central Florida which is ok and I'll be moving to Atlanta soon but as soon as the boyfriend finishes school, we're moving back to SoFla!

Will you still have access to military benefits? If so, a city near a military base might be your best bet--especially since those areas tend to have more ethnic minorities than civilian towns of comparable sizes. Military areas tend to have excellent public schools as well. The only downside I can see to raising a mixed family around a military area is that most of the towns have NOTHING in the way of arts and culture.

I just did Find my Spot--Boston, San Francisco, Providence(!), and Chicago were all in my top 10. I think I'll stay here for a bit, but it's good to know that three of my 5 favorite cities are on the list. I'm really trying to get off the East Coast for a few years, and SF is high on the list.

After my fiancee & I get married in December, we're looking to relocate at a few places but it all depends on the job situation.
First, we could stay in CA but move farther away from Long Beach & Los Angeles. We like Santa Cruz, Palm Springs or San Diego. Or if we decide to leave the state, our top choices are 1) Colorado Springs 2) Baton Rouge 3) Anywhere in Hawaii

I live smack dab between Pearl Harbor, Schofield Barracks, Hickam AFB, and Fort Shafter...and their schools have achieved outstanding marks within the public school system. Kaneohe Bay MCBH is also an award-winning community.

If you're not hard core conservative Christian and/or military (and maybe you are -- I have no idea) you might not like Colorado Springs.

I'm not conservative or Christian or military. Hmmm...I have visited there before w/a friend who is all three of the above & never had a problem but then again, I was only visiting for a few days.

Well, yeah, but Governor Lamm has been gone for a while...
The signs that used to say, "Welcome to Colorado, Now go home" have been taken down at the state borders, as have the bumper stickers with the same message.

Houston, Texas
Jacksonville, Florida
Charleston, South Carolina
Phoenix, Arizona
Brownsville, Texas

Which Quiz?
One of your biggest choices must have been "HOT!"

It actually was. I like the hot weather. It doesn't bother me & I don't wilt with it. That's why I love places like Palm Springs in the summer where the temperature at night was 92 degrees & 118 during the daytime. Weird.

Mrs. DA's aunt and uncle had a great deal for a while.
Their son (I think) had art gallerys in Jackson, WY and Phoenix. They ran the one in Jackson in the Summer and the Phoenix one in the Winter.
