I am veering from my safe space and gonna say Corona, CA, a city I've never been to. Yes it's close to LA and in the Riverside MSA so I'm familiar with the region, but still it feels a little risky. I like Richmond so I would pick it against a lot of places, but Corona intrigues me enough that I would give it a try. Worst case, I'm a manageable drive from the areas I really like.
Los Angeles v Knoxville, TN
Knoxville. Much more livable in most ways. Very affordable, great people, a good bit to do for an area its size, and underrated, IMO.

Colorado Springs, CO or Omaha, NE?
Ohms easily. Colorado Springs was overrated. I enjoyed Boulder and Aurora areas better. Omaha is the Greenville of the midwest. Thriving area, white collar economy with above average growth, but tends to be overshadowed by larger metros in the region (Kansas City/Minneapolis, Charlotte/Atlanta).

Evansville, IN or Clarksville, TN?
Clarksville only because it's not far from Nashville.

Orlando, FL or New Orleans, LA?
Orlando. I've been to both places & even though New Orleans was better than I thought when I went there, I'd rather live in Orlando as I like Florida much more than Louisiana & it has lower crime. Plus the theme parks for fun.

Columbus, OH or College Park, MD?
One is a major city with a large state university in it; the other, the home of a large state university just outside a major city.
I've been to the UMd campus but not OSU's. I have been to Columbus, however. This one's harder than it might be otherwise because Washington clearly has more to do and see, but living there means having to put up with Official Washingtonians.
Well I am not at all familiar with Columbus, although it seems like a nice enough place. But I know I would quite like Minneapolis aside from the winter weather so I feel confident in picking it. Larger, more to do, more Asian influence, more pro sports, etc.

Orlando. I do have a soft spot for Cleveland and really want to see that area rebound. But I lived in Orlando for about a year in the mid 2000's and I really loved living there. North of the FL Turnpike you're pretty far removed from the touristy spots. Great neighborhoods, lakes, parks, Winter Garden, not far from Atlantic AND Gulf beaches, and great theme parks which we enjoyed. Loved being near the Tampa Bay area too.
In a vacuum then Portland, but in real life, gotta be FTL since we could adjust with no trouble and very easily could be living there (instead of Miami).
