Savannah, GA for sure. Similar cities, but Portland was looking pretty run down the last time I visited. Savannah is pretty nice too with all the squares and live oaks so I like it a lot.

Aspen, CO or Whistler, BC?

Oh this is a tough one! Both cities are great for both different and similar reasons. I love Savannah's charm and history, but the location of Portland is better. I'm going with Savannah, because of the warm weather.

Angle Inlet, MN or War, WV?

Aspen. I have no interest in winter sports, but I have no desire to live in Canada.

War, WV. It's a thousand miles from nowhere, but it's in some beautiful country and its winters are much milder.

Richmond, Virginia or Nashville, Tennessee?

War... It's more populous with more basic amenities in town and far less "off the grid" than Angle Inlet. The warmer climate would be preferred as well.

Nashville... Give me the larger city/metro

Chattanooga, TN or Fayetteville, AR?

Richmond, Virginia or Nashville, Tennessee?
Richmond. Its music scene isn't as lively as Nashville's, but it has a load of elegance (and I like that kind of elegance), one of the best mid-sized art museums in the country (the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts), and some great entertainment/dining/shopping districts of its own.

Pasadena, Calif., or Pasadena, Texas? (This is one of the three common elements that LA and Houston share that lead me to call Houston "Texas' answer to LA." You're welcome to guess the other two.)

Pasadena CA. I like the archetecture downtown and the San Gabriel Mountains as a backdrop. Even if the annual Rose Bowl Parade every Jan 1 won't be the same without LA in the PAC 12.

Sherbrooke Quebec or London Ontario?

Sherbrooke Quebec or London Ontario?
Sherbrooke, the Eastern Townships region of Quebec is a beautiful area, close to Montreal, lots of skiing and lakes nearby. It's a nice small city that's clean with a good amount of amenities.

I don't know much about London, Ontario. The guy who coined the term "stroads" is from there and he often uses his hometown in his videos with footage of stroads there whilst he disparages his hometown calling it Fake London. It can't be that bad.

Salt Lake City or Tucson?

Salt Lake City or Tucson?
Salt Lake City. Tucson is kind of backwards. Salt Lake City has great scenery and nicer downtown things to do.

Farragut, TN or Madison, AL?

Chattanooga. I'm more familiar with the area, and I prefer its regional location closer to family.

I think I'd choose Farragut. I'm not bought in to the Huntsville hype machine. Eastern Tennessee is just such a beautiful area.

Troy, Alabama or Terre Haute, Indiana?

Troy, Alabama or Terre Haute, Indiana?
I'd go with Terre Haute. I'd rather live there, than say a town in southeast Alabama that isn't close to a lot of other bigger cities and metros. Also I've never been too fond, of Montgomery. Although I did like that clever singing furniture ad that came out of Montgomery, and was later parodied on a few other shows like The Cleveland Show. Did I mention it's bigger, than Troy?

And don't forget there are some nice towns not far away(i.e. Greencastle, IN), along with covered bridges not far from both Greencastle and Terre Haute. And Terre Haute has a few nice neighborhoods, too. Thanks to the neighborhood vs. neighborhood(though it's more like comparing street views) thread here, for making me more aware of those.

Troy I suspect is probably an alright town for the 'wiregrass' region(to those from Alabama like EscAlaMike, let me know if Troy is a little north of that Wiregrass region or not), but I'd rather live in Terre Haute. And I love the national highway(US Hwy. 40), myself.

Speaking of places along the national highway/US 40: Richmond, IN, or Springfield, OH?
