RELOCATING - HELP IN ALL AREAS

Hi all, I just joined this site- so working on figuring out how it all works... here goes.

I'm interested in moving somewhere, open to suggestions, but choice 1 would be Portland. I'm SWF 24, so I'm looking for a place with a good night life, restaurants, shopping, entertainment... all that. I love living in the city, hobbies include photography, skiing, travelling, boating... etc. I don't currently have a job- so am fairly open as to where to move, this would be upon getting a job...

My main questions for Portland and any other suggested places:
1. What corporations are located in this city?
2. What's your most favorite thing to do in this town on the weekend?
3. How easy would you say it is to meet new people (aside from work ppl- I don't like to mix work and home).
4. What is the average price of a quality apartment in a good location that pertains to the afore mentioned requirements?
5. What is the neighborhood you would recommend?

Thanks for your help!

Hey y'all-my husband is very possibly being transferred to New Orleans, LA in the very near future. I've been Googling all over the place trying to find a nice area, but, it seems that everything is one extreme or the other. Does anyone know of any nice "master planned" neighborhoods? Especially ones where you do not have to buy a lot, then go and find someone to build your house! I just want to find a nice neighborhood! Thanks!

Hey Friends,

I need your help. I am a SBF, age 29, very outgoing personality, Masters degree level education & PT club bartender, love the city but from the country and sick and tired of the Northern VA / DC lifestyle. I have lived here my entire life and desperately need a change. All of my girlfriends are married, have children and share a completely different lifestyle than I do. So its time to move for the time being. I will be relocating within the next 45 days. But where should I go?

The current state of the economy will NOT affect my decision to move, as I am financially stable, so please spare me the lecture. I have put my notice into my employer and as of Sept 7th, I will be free to move about the country. Here are my needs when considering a new state of residence:

Warm weather & water or nice scenery ( I love to run outside)
Diverse cultural area ( I date outside of my race)
Nightlife scene
Public transportation (subway/metro rail, bus, train, etc)
Cheap cost of living
Area w/young professionals scene

My first choice was Vegas - because its a complete 360 for me and I am a part time bartender, so I can make hella money there. But I dont have a 2nd or 3rd choice.

I prefer not to relocate to Atlanta (very similar to DC), Chicago (too cold) or Anywere on East Coast (lived here for 29 years)... So whats left??? And advice or suggestions? Im all ears!! Thanks for your time and assistance.
