Jacksonville. It's a good area. Great downtown and beaches.

Orlando, FL or Columbus, OH?

Columbus, OH

I'm sure Columbus has its occasional hot/humid days, but Orlando has significantly more. Also have Rock and Roll & NFL Hall of Fames on my "Midwest" bucket list. Both are in Ohio. Went to Disney World, Orlando back in 1991. Columbus is closer to people I know in Wisconsin and Minnesota. The autumn and college football season (Ohio State) would be fun there, too IMO.

Another FL vs. OH choice:

Cocoa Beach, FL or Sandusky, OH ?

Cocoa Beach. I like the Space Coast area. Some great beaches. Still close to Orlando and all of its offerings. Sandusky is a nice town, pretty water front, and of course, Cedar Point. Just a little too far from some of the larger areas and, though the snow wouldn't bother me, I'd prefer the tropical climate overall. Good choice for a comparison!

Virginia Beach, VA or Milwaukee, WI?

Virginia Beach, VA or Milwaukee, WI?
Close one but I'll go with Virginia Beach, VA since I am familiar with it. I usually visit Virginia every year and I like going to Virginia Beach. A fun beach with good amenities and is lively. Also there are some historical cities not too far such as Williamsburg and Washington DC is 3 hrs away. Although Milwaukee is more urban and close to Chicago.

Speaking of Milwaukee metro...
Waukesha, WI or Cheektowaga, NY?

Milwaukee...close proximity to Chicago and Madison which are both great cities...plus I think Milwaukee is a little underrated.

Decatur, IL or Decatur, GA

Decatur, GA. Less than 20 mins from Atlanta, lower cost of living, and it has a lot for a city its size.

Waukesha, WI or Cheektowaga, NY?

Close, but I'll go with Waukesha. In the Milwaukee metro and not far from the Chicago metro area.

Grand Rapids, MI or Des Moines, IA?

Grand Rapids. More vibrant, more culture, more opportunity. 45 minutes from Lake Michigan. 2 hours from Detroit metro. 3 hours from Chicago.

Alliance, NE or Guymon, OK?
