Reno, NV. The climate is better IMO and people are better off economically. Also, the Lake Tahoe area and the interior of Nevada is beautiful. I've been there.
Hmmm... My initial response was an immediate Portland just based on the wildly divergent city's sizes and Burlington's ultra remote location, but doing a quick look around at Burlington (I've been to Vermont, but not Burlington) it looks to be one of those handful of at once settled yet progressive cities in a truly stunning setting with a welcoming and inspiring built environmont one can find in this country. A bit of Europe in Vermont.
At this stage of my life, mid-fifties, if I could live right downtown in a beautiful loft or cottage (modern or traditional) with a sweet garden, and most importantly, a handful (the more, the better) of super smart, inspiring and fun friends I think I could love Burlington. I'd like to hear from folks who live there or have and what their impressions are. As much as I'm a urban, city guy, I love visiting family and friends in Tahoe and Maine in the winter- I wonder if such a city would make up for those greater big city amenities?
Portland is also one of my favorite cities, but the thought of getting crunchy on a cold New England winter's night in such a city appeals to me, as well as its described beautiful and happening summers there.

I'd throw my coat in Burlington!
Missoula, MT or Oxford, MS?
Oxford, MS... Home to good Ole Miss, Oxford is a great town, and it is much less isolated than Missoula.
Charlotte NC, or Richmond Virginia ?
