I’ll go with Westerly. It’s a nicer overall town
Lawrence KS or Iowa City IA?
Iowa appeals to me a bit more culturally, but Lawrence would give me access to KC, which would be nice for getting away from all the college kids for a bit. It's also larger which is nice.

Olympia, WA or Green Bay, WI?
I’ll go with Olympia due to being in a bigger area in terms of population.

Moss Point MS or Salisbury MD?
I've never been to either one, which puts me at a disadvantage. I have been to Maryland's Eastern Shore, and it has a rather mild climate with four seasons, as well as access to the Atlantic Ocean, Beaches.

So I am going with Salisbury MD.
Cassadega NY or Chesterfield, Indiana?
Chesterfield... Cassadaga seems like a quaint village with a nice lake but Chesterfield's proximity to more population centers (Anderson, Muncie, and to a lesser extent Indianapolis) make it more desirable for me.
I'd probably choose Columbia because it doesn't have the reputation for extreme political activism as Madison does.
Two cities I spent time in this past weekend:
Lake Charles, Louisiana or Beaumont, Texas?
From my limited research of both places, neither city stands out much to me. I guess narrowly I'd pick Lake Charles, since the crime rate is(per city data profiles) a little less high in Lake Charles vs. Beaumont. Beaumont's crime rate is more stubbornly high, than I prefer. At least Lake Charles' crime rate, seems to be falling a little bit. And since I suspect southwest Louisiana food would be a little more interesting, vs. southeast Texas food. Of course if we were throwing in Houston area food(I'm not, and I consider Beaumont to be not a part of the Houston metro area), that would beat southwest Louisiana food. Finally I looked up the scores of both these smaller cities on areavibes, and Lake Charles scored better. And I suppose the local Lake Charles casino might provide some entertainment to me, if I wanted something different to do. I remember reading Texas still hasn't legalized casinos, to this day.
Moving on, and I'll change the focus to historic towns. Natchez, MS, or Natchitoches, LA?

I picked Natchez since I've never been there. Columbia MO or Iowa City IA?

Iowa City seems like a nicer overall college town. I’ll take it.
Minneapolis MN or Vancouver BC?
