Nashville. More affordable and I've always found the residents friendlier than in Denver.
Boston, MA or Cincinnati, OH?
Boston. Just more of a global city. I am intrigued by Cincy though and would love to spend more time there (have only visited twice for about 24 hours each)
Miami although I have no desire to live in either. At least Miami has good winter weather. Pine Bluff Ark or West Memphis, Ark?
West Memphis... My impression of it is that it's a pretty downtrodden small city across the river from downtown Memphis, but through Google Maps I did find a nice looking newer subdivision on the west side of town that looks pretty livable. Living within the Memphis metro would be too much to pass up otherwise, compared to a much smaller and less happening metro like Pine Bluff's.
Norman. Not far from OKC. Bakersfield CA or Lubbock TX?
This is tough. Both are boring as boring can be. Both have some bad weather--Bakersfield has lots of smog (and wildfire smoke) and Lubbock gets tornadoes and blizzards. Normally I'd go with Texas in a cinch, but Lubbock is Texas without all the excitement of the big Texas cities or the natural beauty of the Gulf Coast, Hill Country, or even the Trans Pecos.
I'll take Lubbock for no state income taxes, and at least they get snow, unlike Bakersfield. And my vote will count in Texas as a Republican much more than in California, though Bakersfield is admittedly the most conservative city of its size in California.
Assuming you have both Canadian and American citizenship:
Helena, I definitely prefer Montana to North Dakota
Cincinnati, Ohio or Cleveland, Ohio?
This one is tough but I'm gonna pick Cleveland. It's tough because I'm not very familiar with either (been to both of them twice for about 48 hours each). I'm intrigued by Cincy but Cleveland is the safer bet for my tastes due to legacy institutions, lakefront real estate, and rail transit.
Edit: Boise. I don't know either of these too well either, but Boise is high on my list to check out. (As is Omaha, but that's not quite Lincoln)

Lakewood, OH vs Lakewood, CO
Lakewood, OH. Nice area just outside Cleveland. It reminds me of some of Detroit suburbs.
Knoxville, TN or Raleigh, NC?
