Default Where Should I go?

I am gonna be a college grad next year and I am trying to gather possible cities for job searching and good night lfe and other things of the sort. I am originally from Chicago, and after spending the last few years in Cincinnati, I can do better. It's very uneventful here, and extremely conservative; not saying that conservative is bad, but it can drag a city down. On the other hand, the people here are very friendly in general, and it is like a large 'small town'. With that said, I am not looking to go to New YOrk or LA, and Chicago is an option, but I am looking for other options and I figured someone could give me some good ideas!!!

I believe the question was whether anybody had an idea of where to move not a need to be antagonized.

Default Midwest still cold but .......

If you are able to handle the cold still having lived in Chicago, I hear the Twin Cities (Minneapolis) is less conservative and has a lot of social, art, and night life. Just a half cent of thought not quite two.

You didn't say what KIND of job you'll be searching for.

But - Austin, Texas. Very funky town with a very lively nightlife and music scene. Warm climate. Not real far from the ocean relatively speaking. Decent economy and growing, etc etc.

I think what kind of job you'll be working is going to be a big factor in this, so it's probably best to mention this. That and also a better more description of what you enjoy.

Louisville may be a possibility. It seems to lean liberal. And it is comparable to Cincy except for being conversative.

Charlotte or Richmond arent bad either.
