Hattiesburg, MS, or Morgantown, WV?
Morgantown, since its a college town making it relatively progressive, isn't too far from Pittsburgh, and has a true four-season climate. Hattiesburg is too humid, flat, and "deep south" for my tastes.

Louisa, KY or Winnemucca, NV?

Never heard of either town. I'll go with Louisa since I prefer KY to NV.

Allentown, PA or Dayton, OH?

Good comparison that I've never seen on here before. I like Dayton better as a city proper. I like Allentown's region better. I choose Allentown for that reason. Many more interesting places to see and things to do within a few hour drive.

Jacksonville, FL or Virginia Beach, VA?

Virginia Beach due to its location on the coast


Topeka KS or Salem OR?

Sandusky, OH. I have family there and I'd love spending summers at Cedar Point and Cleveland is much closer to Sandusky than NYC is to Scranton.

Provo, UT vs. Barrytown, NY

Barrytown, NY. On the Hudson which is much cleaner than it once was. Close to my city. I would feel out of place in Utah.

Detroit, Michigan vs Newark, NJ

Not sure what you were getting at by pairing these, but: Newark. Downtown Detroit may be on the mend, but Newark's downtown never really hit bottom, and there's a lot of life in it. Greektown and the Ironbound may be analogous, but I still think the New Jersey city has more to offer, even if it is smaller. And, of course, it's just a 15-minute train ride from New York.

Lancaster, Pa., or Lancaster, Calif.

Lancaster, Pa., or Lancaster, Calif.
Interesting duo there.

I'd take the one in CA, because I love to hike, and Lancaster CA is conveniently located
just north of the San Gabriel Mountains.

But I'll admit the restaurants might be better in Lancaster PA -- isn't it part of the Pennsylvania Dutch country?

Reno or Tucson?

Reno. From what little I've read it kind of sounds like the economy is on the upswing. Reno is pretty arid but it's a quick drive to the mountains.

Denver, CO vs. Louisville, KY
