Austin (lived) lived in Chicago all my life until recently and I must say that the weather here is amazing. The fact that I can have my windows down in January is amazing. It's pretty neat to be apart of a city/metro that is pretty much being born right In front of our eyes. Every week there's something new popping up. Love the outdoor things to do -kayaking, lake, hills- live music- Texas culture-and Texas has been good to us.
Chicago(lived-born&raised) love my hometown more that I left it. You really don't realize how much a city like Chicago offers it's residents until you leave it. I love going home to see family and friends and getting all my favorite foods- and driving down lake shore drive. Has great suburbs, awesome amenities and in terms of entertainment (zoos-museums-pro sports etc) it's hard to beat. If it wasn't for the extreme high taxes, low unemployment, high crime, crap weather (besides summer and fall), and the amount it takes to by a nice home in a nice area we'd still be there.
Las Vegas (visited) I doubt i could live here however it's truly an experience to behold. I love that there always is something going on and to do. The people are very diverse and ranging I'm age- plenty of things to do. It's definelty scenic if you're not used to the whole desert/mountain landscape.
Minneapolis we didn't get to explore it a whole bunch but it's a truly
Underrated city. Mall of America was neat, the skyline and vibrancy downtown is awesome, the Area seemed to have nice architecture and nice scenery. Didn't expect it at all.
Nashville (visited) love the feel of some of it's suburbs such as franklin. Love the southern charm, friendly people and beautiful scenery. It's definelty a place that has a unique energy.
St Augustine (visited) the beach here was amazing- even if I am more of a clear water person.. The sand-Shelly sand was so cool and unique. It had an awesome vibe and just seemed like a really nice place.
Honorable mention.. Charleston South Carolina, Savannah Georgia (GOReGOUs.. But once you get away from main area it becomes ghetto like no other for miles and miles).
Would like to visit..
San Diego/la/San fransisco/Denver/Seattle/Miami/Tampa/Atlanta/NYC/boston/Pittsburgh lol that's all.
Charleston
Seattle
Los Angeles
New Orleans
Baltimore
I've pretty much liked everywhere I've been (Denver, Portland, NYC, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Washington, Chicago, Cleveland etc.) but the five above have been the only (US) cities that have been hard to leave when it came time to go.
