Being a Californian, I'm inclined to choose a place in CA.
And there's so much beautiful countryside not far from Napa --
the N CA coast and coast ranges. So even though I have no interest in wine,
I'll select Napa.
It wasn't a slam-dunk, though. Leesburg looks like an attractive place to live:
a historic small city near the Potomac River. If I was going to relocate to
the East Coast, I'd have it on my list.

Fort Collins, CO or Santa Fe, NM?
This one's a toughie. New Mexico's capital, with its distinctive adobe buildings, or the smallest city in the country with regularly scheduled streetcar service?
I like the Territorial Revival architecture of Santa Fe, and I love Southwestern cuisine in general. These override my fondness for rail transit. Make mine Santa Fe.
Two state capitals I'm very familiar with and would only live in if I had to:

Jefferson City, Mo., or Topeka, Kan.?
I’d go with Topeka since it’s bigger and closer to Kansas City.
Santa Fe for sure. I’ve always liked Santa Fe for its unique architecture and vibe. Dayton is somewhat unremarkable.
Denver or El Paso?
El Paso because my great aunt lives there and I have not seen her since I was a baby. It looks like a nice community and cultural attractions are not as manufactured as Denver.

Clemson, SC or Utica, NY?
Clemson... I'm a fan of college towns and Clemson, while not among my favorites in the south, is a pretty solid option. It's also not too far from the rest of the Greenville metro area. I'd probably consider Utica more in this match-up if the winters weren't so dreary.

Grand Junction, CO or Bend, OR?
Bend, OR because it looks neat. I am not a skier, but the scenery and attractions look nice. The cost of living is higher than average with a high unemployment rate, but the community seems to have redeeming qualities, such as tourism, strong healthcare system, restaurants etc.

Little Rock, AR or Omaha, NE?
Tough one, but I suppose Little Rock. I like the parks I've noticed(including near rivers and on top of hills) in and around Little Rock, and prefer the topography around there vs. Omaha. Also, I suspect more than likely Little Rock would have milder winters too. Nothing against Omaha, since that city also looked nice when I street viewed it.
College towns in the upper Midwest: Mankato, MN, or Eau Claire, WI?

Eau Claire. It's somewhere I've never been there and heard good things about it. St. Cloud MN or St. Cloud FL?
