Scranton, Pennsylvania, home of "The Office!" Haven't we all at one point or another had a suggestive dream in our sleep about living large in good 'ole Scranton??!!
I'm still searching for that place. I want to be in a place that has the character and depth that defines a European village where they make violins and play classical music as a matter of course. I don't want to be around ignorance, hip-hop, rap, Britney Spears wannabes, 50 cent thug wannabes, or the honky tonk. I don't care for fluff, frivolity, and phony Hollywood glitz. I don't want George Bush, Strom Thurmond, Dick Cheney, or Newt Gingrich as my neighbors. I don't want to live in an area comprised mainly of asians and indians, lest I fall into a state of depression from lack of stimulating conversation and meaningful interaction. I don't want to live in an all-white area where neighbors are superficially friendly, distant, and afraid of people from different cultures and backgrounds who are not white. I don't care for a house on a street or many houses, symbolizing isolation tanks where the only moving aspect is tumbleweed and passing cars. I don't want to live around Mexicans who are ignorant. I don't want to be around narrow-minded people, people who have never ventured outside an area such as the south side of Milwaukee. I don't want to live around gang-bangers, punk rockers, or like OMG California valley girls. I prefer warmer temperatures to colder, but can tolerate seasons not too severe. Price of homes is not a concern. It should be a place that has a vibrant job market, and top schools including universities. I don't have to live in the city, but close....
Not too much I want in a place, right? Ideas?
I certainly don't see eye-to-eye with you, nor do I like a lot of what you say, but kudos to you for opening up and showing us your heart--I hope you find what you're looking for.

I have a feeling Alexus is not happy with her current situation
And she lives in Northern California presently, so I'm not sure what location would be an improvement for her that would also meet her numerous and often contradictory criteria. Somewhere in Europe perhaps? Maybe a German or Austrian town where they "make violins and play classical music as a matter of course."
Maggie Valley North Carolina, to me it's the most beautiful place in the world. I love the mountains and cool air and the fact they have four seasons and summers are not boiling hot.
