Boise City, OK
Went through there a few months ago, between Lamar, CO and Amarillo, TX, and also the snowiest place in Oklahoma.


Pueblo, CO

There's a major Department of Energy research facility there, IIRC. Has neither the cachet of Denver nor the family-friendly rep of Colorado Springs, but I imagine still a pleasant enough place to live.

Nicodemus, Kan.

Idyllic town on the coast of Lake Michigan, on some days you can see the Chicago skyline way on the horizon.

Centralia is a once-bustling Industrial-era town in rural PA that was forced to quickly abandon itself as an underground mine fire spread. I grew up about an hour away but never visited there. I've heard some parts of the ground still smoke and smolder. Has to be very eerie! I believe it was the inspiration behind the setting for the fictitious town of Silent Hill.

A pleasant town at the juncture of AL, FL, and GA. Home to the Peanut Festival, lots of peanuts, cotton, and other crops grown in the area.

Where my wife was born. Kind of a place of exile for working-class previous residents of the city of Los Angeles. Very suburban, lower-class overall, high desert, fairly attractive to the eye, very windy, very warm in the summer, cold by local standards in the winter. Snow just about every winter too.

Now, where I was born:


Long Beach, CA

Where Count David and Tiffani Thiessen were born! A quick Google search, it looks like a nice clean big city!
The RMS Queen Mary Museum looks fun! Pretty beaches, seems like a nice place!!

I just know it's an inner-ring north Boston suburb, pretty sure it's on the T. I think it has a large Jewish population?

Shoreline, WA
