To be sure, I'm not going to like the Florida humidity; but no place is perfect.

Tulsa, OK or Wichita, KS?
Neither, tbh, but if I had to choose, I'd choose Tulsa on the grounds of having a richer cultural tradition and on standing-with-Greenwood grounds.

Omaha or Grand Rapids?

Definitely Tulsa. More to do and lower taxes.

Grand Rapids as it's close to the beaches of Lake Michigan.


Bangor, ME or Mason City, IA?

Bangor, ME or Dubuque, IA?
Dubuque... Both are decent small cities in politically moderate parts of their respective states, but I prefer Dubuque's location a little bit more. If Bangor was more centrally located within New England, I'd probably pick there.

Jackson, TN or Jackson, MI?

Jackson MI Close to Ann Arbor which I like.

Providence RI or Syracuse NY?

Providence. Seems like to me there'd be more to do culturally, vs. Syracuse. Along with it being not far from beaches. Though I do like how Syracuse isn't too far away, from some nice places to road trip(i.e. Ithaca, Finger Lakes NY region, etc).

Rutland, VT, or Pittsfield, MA?

Both are beautiful. I'd rather live in Rutland because it's smaller and I'd prefer to be a resident of Vermont.

Berlin, New Hampshire or London, Kentucky?

Traverse City, MI or Fairbanks, AK?

YES! I've actually lived in both, if only for a few months each. I spent the rest of my time in Alaska living away from any of the cities.

Traverse City, due to the lake nearby, and easier access to life's other wants and needs in the region.

(This from a guy who likes Alaska obviously but I loved living in Northern Michigan and then later the UP.)

Moab, UT or Townsend, TN?

Moab, UT or Townsend, TN?
Moab would be better to hit, if on vacation. Townsend isn't too far from Maryville and other towns with shops, so that.

I got busy with work, but was intending to answer the Berlin (NH) vs. London (KY) one. Where I would've answered London, since I didn't like how isolated(within NH) Berlin is. And at least it wouldn't be too far, to do road trips to other places I suspect I'd enjoy visiting.

Evansville, IN, or Peoria, IL?

I'd pick Evansville. I think it has more potential and I prefer its more southerly location.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa or Fort Wayne, Indiana?
