Oooh nice one. Can I be back in college? If so, I think I would take College Park. I have only spent a brief amount of time there (and on the UM campus) but it struck me as a more fun, college-y feel than Evanston was. (Where I actually lived and studied) If I am a professional then perhaps I'd take Evanston but I kinda would rather not lol.

Berkeley, CA vs Boulder, CO?

Berkeley, CA vs Boulder, CO?
Berkeley, CA

Boulder has a lot to recommend it, but I am much more familiar with the Bay Area having lived there for nearly 3 decades before moving further south in 2001. Berkeley is closer to water. The Bay is right there & the ocean is reasonably close. Know far more people near there; just 1 person in Colorado (but he is in Colorado Springs). If he was in Boulder and I was more familiar with the city, it would be a closer call. Berkeley has much better weather IMO.

Chico, CA or Tuscaloosa, AL?

Chico. I'm not Christian so I don't think I'd fare well in smaller towns in the south. Plus I don't care for the heat/humidity (night heat) or the culture . A quick escape to the mountains near Chico would be a nice break.

Iron Mountain, Ironwood, or Iron River, MI?

Charlottesville. Love that pedestrian mall, and it's quirkiness.

Portsmouth NH or Providence RI?

I'd rather visit Miami with it's warm weather, great nightlife, beaches, & Latin American food. While it was a great city, I think Atlanta is more of my style. It has lower cost of living, I like it's weather more, a better tech scene, & I like how it's more African-American oriented rather than Latin American oriented. I think Atlanta has some attributes that are more common with some of my favorite U.S. cities such as part of NYC, Philly, & DC, whereas Miami is a complete departure from that style. Therefore I'd rather live in Atlanta.

Great Bend, KS or Lexington, NE?
