In no particular order

Boston-So unique culturally and geographically doesnt feel like America but doesnt feel quite like Europe. Feels like im in some sort of Carribean themed Irish land of nonsensical road hills and rickety homes with bold people and people who let you just do you. Way more international and diverse than people give it credit for, but for what ever reason its not really cosmopolitan..perhaps its too small (?)

Philadelphia- Love the architecture even if a lot of it is dirty and messed up. The people are real and the culture and uniqueness is right up there with Boston. Philadelphia has no filter! and it has great food, i dont even car e about the restaurants. Its philly cheesteaks and hoagies are enough for me, and on top of all of that its crazy affordable!

Washington DC- I love the efficiency of it all. I love the style of dress amongst native DC folk because its colorful. I also like the wealth of the area and its suburbs and the sheer diversity. Not too mention all the free museums and the strong economy.

Miami- Whats not to love. Beautiful people, warm (okay hot and somewhat oppressive) weather. Amazing heterogeneity of the culture that I like. I like the vulgarity and raunchiness of the city not to mention the bright color and numerous clubs. I love the beach and the 'Canes! It really is all about the U.

Oakland- So artsy so lively! Just infused with music and graffiti and street art and tolerance ever where you go! So integrated, and you can get that sophistication right over the bridge in San Fran. I love the fact that its a west coast city with some good density. And weed is de facto legal out there,. Its progressive and a great place for young people like My self

Chicago
Kansas City
New Orleans
Indianapolis

Those four are pretty much set in stone. The fifth changes the most for me. Somewhere on the West Coast probably. LA/SF or even Honolulu is really beautiful.

I tend to lean toward Toad Suck, AR but Frankenstein, MO ain't bad; unincorporated, only about 30 residents, no traffic or crime issues and certainly not crowded.

I drove through Tightwad, MO this past weekend. I'd say it's an honorable mention :P I'll have to check out Toad Suck when I get the chance.
