Omaha. Nothing against Tulsa (I'd like to spend some time there and check it out), but Omaha just seems more prosperous and offers better opportunities.

Now, for a clothing-inspired choice: Hollister, CA or Oshkosh, WI?

Oshkosh, b'gosh! Besides, I'd be closer to better cheese there.

Since my home state loves to channel other places, we will go from coast to coast without leaving the Keystone Stage:

Jersey Shore, Pa., or California, Pa?

I'll lean Jersey Shore, as California(PA) seems to be rated worse. And as Jersey Shore is a short drive, from Williamsport.

Lakewood, NY, or Olean, NY?

Olean because it has a Catholic college and, as I understand, a large Lebanese community.

Guntersville, Alabama or Eufaula, Oklahoma?

Eufaula. I'd prefer Oklahoma and it's closer to family. Macon GA or Toledo OH?

Toledo... It's a bigger city/metro and it's closer to Metro Detroit than Macon is to Metro Atlanta.

Charleston, WV or Columbia, MO?

Charleston due to having more character and things to do. I would rather be closer to Cincinnati and Pittsburgh than St. Louis and Kansas City.

Louisville, KY or Greenville, SC?

I'll go with Louisville on this one.

I've been to Greenville and sure enough the downtown is as nice as advertised. And they have some very cute neighborhoods in an area called North Main, with cute houses, towering trees and steep hills. Also, in Greenville from certain spots you can actually see the beginning of the Blue Ridge Mountains which is nice.

That said, much of Greenville metro is kind of just regular suburban sprawl. They don't really have nice suburbs with tight sign and landscaping ordinances and zoning, etc. It's not bad at all, but it's also not fabulous.

By comparison, Louisville is loaded with character. Bardstown Road couldn't be any cuter, lined with sophisticated little bars, restaurants, and cafes. So much historic architecture and a lovely location by the Ohio River. The downtown is clean and fairly large.

When I visited Louisville, I wrestled with whether I would prefer Louisville or Cincinnati. In that case, it's a choice between smaller and simpler small town vibe in Louisville versus Cincinnati's huge array of historic neighborhoods and town centers and striking terrain, particularly overlooking the river. I think in that comparison, if forced, I would probably pick Cincinnati just for the greater variety.

In any case, for another comparison.....Lexington, KY or Winston-Salem, NC

Winston-Salem. A very prosperous area not far from one of my best friends or Raleigh. Yuma AZ or Laredo TX?

Yuma as you can go to either L.A, San Diego, or Phoenix within a day's drive, plus the Mexican side is not as dangerous as in Nuevo Laredo, in addition it is less humid.

Southaven MS, or Southfield, MI
