None. If I had to leave, I'd move to Vancouver BC.

You want it to be different and odd... why is that important to you? So you can get different and odd answers? And how is that going to be meaningful to you???

Not normal for sure.. different, odd... and idiotic...

Why is my list idiotic? Because it does not include Seattle, San Francisco, San Diego, Chicago, Boston, New York City, Los Angeles, and Washington D.C.? Just because my list does not include the same cities as everybody else does not make my list idiotic. You made a comment about me not including any cities from Colorado. What is so special about Colorado? I think that Colorado sucks. I like Utah more than Colorado. So I guess you are one of those people who thinks that anyone who has a different opinion than you is an idiot. Also, normal is boring. There is enough normal boring things out there. I think it is more fun to be able to look at something that is more different, unique, and creative.

I think people are just curious how you came up with the list There doesn't seem to be a pattern.

Are these places you're considering yourself? If so, I'll agree it's different, but it might not be general enough to interest most people in the forum. Effectively you've created a poll for yourself, and it's unique. But now people are responding in their own, creative ways

I have been to most of those cities, and the only one I would consider is Astoria. It's actually much like where I live now, but without the nearby large city. The only problem is lack of good jobs, otherwise it would suit me fine, especially if retired.

Of those cities, the only ones I would consider are:

Portland, Maine
Burlington, Vermont
Salem, Massachusetts

I love New England and went to college there. I've always thought one day I might like to go back. I'm pretty well settled here in Redmond, though. But if somebody made me an offer I couldn't refuse?

Why no foreign cities? There are lots of towns in England and Ireland I'd consider. Or St Davids in Wales.
