Manchester NH. Just a better overall city and location.

Park City UT or Leavenworth WA?

Having spent time in Manchester, Binghamton.

New Hampshire's largest city has gotten less blah since I left New England in the early 1980s, but I can't imagine that it would be a more interesting place to live than the home of one of the flagship campuses of the State University of New York. It may be less than half Manchester's size, but I also suspect its setting among the hills of New York's Southern Tier is more comely as well.

I'll offer a similar possible mismatch between cities, one of which is in New Hampshire:

Portsmouth, N.H., or Portsmouth, Va.?

Santa Cruz CA or Ventura CA?
Santa Cruz because I prefer more shopping and restaurants. I also prefer its location as well.

Sarasota, FL or Wilmington, NC?

I think I'd pick the one in NH. It's small and quaint. The Hampton Roads area really doesn't appeal to me at all.

Fayetteville. I prefer the eastern vegetation, and my brother will be living near there soon.

Fort Wayne, Indiana or Mobile, Alabama?

Fort Wayne, Indiana or Mobile, Alabama?
Mobile, which is one of those underrated capitals of Southern charm. Fort Wayne is okay, but uninteresting (there's a line in a song we used to sing often in the Philadelphia Gay Men's Chorus that went:

"Think of Provincetown, Key West and San Francisco
Without us they'd be a lot more like Fort Wayne")

Let's put them head-to-head:

Mobile, Ala., or Savannah, Ga.?

I have a thing for really liking the Gulf coast, so Mobile. And IIRC, it also has a lower cost of living. I agree with you, in thinking Mobile was underrated anyway.

I don't know if these 2 have been compared before, in this thread. So I'll ask this one: Lafayette, LA, or Baton Rouge, LA?

Baton Rouge... Lafayette seems nicer in some respects, but I prefer the larger city/metro with more offerings.

Asheville, NC or Fort Collins, CO?

Asheville. I think I'd feel more at home there.

Kennesaw, Georgia or Ypsilanti, Michigan?

Kennessaw because there is more to do and it has a better location. I thought about moving there for work, but found something closer to home.

Franklin, KY or Lawrenceburg, TN?
