I'll go with Gary. Preferable climate and location.... Chicago is my favorite city so I could visit often... and it's closer to other interesting places.... the Lakefront beaches seem nice. I can deal with the winter... and it's summer wouldn't be as long or as brutal as Port Arthur's.









Harrisburg PA or Wilmington DE.

Good matchup. Both cities look bigger than they are. Both have downtowns that go comatose after the workday ends. One has a pretty colorful Little Italy, the other a more attractive riverfront park plus a park on an island in the middle of the river that runs past it. One's about a 35-minute drive from Philly, the other, about 90 minutes, and you can take the train to Philly from either.

Ordinarily, I'd probably pick the city closer to Philly, but the one that's further away is also close to Lancaster, one of my favorite small cities on the East Coast. Harrisburg it is, then.

Lititz, Pa., or Leavenworth, Kan.

I had to look up Lititz - it's just north of Lancaster.

I'll pick Lititz. Small town PA has an appeal for me - the Great Plains doesn't, especially a Federal govt town like Leavenworth.

Schaumburg, IL or DeLand, FL?

Schaumburg, IL or DeLand, FL?
Schaumberg, easily. Just outside Chicago, an immediate draw. No interest in FL...

La Crosse, WI vs. Fort Collins, CO

The only reason I might choose Fairfield is if it was safer, but other than that, Glen Burnie. DC is a much more interesting city than SF, and Baltimore, though sketchy as hell, at least has more history and intrigue than Sacramento.

SF or DC?

These are probably the last 2 places I would ever choose to move to. I'll give DC the slight edge because it at least has some wholesome elements, while I don't know that SF has any.

Lubbock, TX or Cheyenne, WY?

Both sound pretty darn boring, both are on the high plains of the West. Now the Eastern Half of Texas has much more in common with the Southeast and is loaded with lots of cool cities and attractions, but the Western half is just like the rest of the Intermountain/desert West, which I've never been a fan of.

I'll take Lubbock simply for warmer weather, and being somewhat closer to world class DFW.

Pensacola or Greenville, SC.

Greenville to live Pensacola to visit. Greenville has really come a long way.

Huntsville, AL or Lexington, KY?
