Alpine, TX. Less in the middle-of-nowhere than Ely.
Los Angeles, TX or Weed, CA?
Weed, CA
Know a lot of people in CA, but only 1 person in TX and am much more familiar with northern CA than southern TX. Weed, CA is very small (pop 2,700) but Los Angeles, TX is tiny (pop 20). Would also not want to deal with the severe heat of south TX summers. Weed is near the beautiful Mt. and Lake Shasta area. Ashland, OR is about 1 hour north. Redding, CA is about 1 hour south.
Location: northern Vermont - previously NM, WA, & MA

Cheyenne, WY or Rapid City, SD?
Rapid City. Only reason I'd choose Cheyenne is its proximity to Denver, otherwise Rapid City is a more interesting place and the nearby Black Hills are beautiful.

Taos, NM or Las Cruces, NM?
Both are nice, but I'd choose Las Cruces. More affordable and ranked as one of the top retirement areas in the country.

Charlotte, NC or Raleigh, NC?
Definitely Raleigh. I like Raleigh's appeal to my generation, and it's affordability. Raleigh is often overlooked because it doesn't have the big city vibe of peers, but it is a very nice place.

Nashville, TN or Cincinnati, OH?
Two very good cities. Nashville for me. Clearly a city on the rise. Great nightlife, a bustling and fast-growing downtown, plenty of interesting neighborhoods. Fantastic music town.

Washington, D.C. or Philadelphia, PA.
I've already chosen on that one, and my exposure to the culture and attitude of Official Washington (there is another Washington out there, but it gets drowned in the propwash of self-importance flowing from the other one) both before and since visiting there frequently only further convinces me of the wisdom of my choice. One is a real city full of real people. The other is a company town whose company just happens to be the Federal Government.
You'll find my answer in the location section of the header of every post I write. (There's also a Germantown in the exurbs of Washington, in Maryland. No comparison between the two.)
Atlanta. I first visited there in 1983 one summer for 6 weeks and had a blast. Yes, I was young - but i could see myself living there. NOLA? Not so much.

Aspen, CO or Jackson Hole, WY
Aspen because I like Colorado more than Wyoming, plus it’s closer to major cities(for a vacation flight).
Boston, MA or San Francisco, CA?
