Largest city on the shoreline of its namesake lake; seems like a nice place to visit in the summer or to go boating. It would be cool to just sail across the lake to Milwaukee for the day. Close enough to commute to Grand Rapids if you have a job in that area. Winters can be rough due to lake effect, but its not as brutal as the UP, MN, or the Dakotas.
Olive Branch, MS
A fast growing suburb of Memphis, on the Mississippi side of the TN/MS border. Looks like it's rated pretty well for low crime, good schools, etc.
Strict building codes, reputation for being snobby. Gotta keep up appearances.
Dearborn, Michigan
Has a noticeable Middle Eastern population, and I bet would be cool to someday eat at some of the Middle Eastern restaurants, bakeries, etc. there. Which lookinh back, I wish I'd explored those places to eat in Dearborn more years ago. The Henry Ford(and Greenfield Village) museum is there(and btw a REALLY great museum), as is Ford Motor Company's headquarters.

It's a place I've never gotten the chance to visit, but would absolutely love to. It's one of the most well-preserved cities in the Deep South in terms of antebellum structures as it was virtually untouched in the Civil War, unlike its upriver neighbor Vicksburg which was decimated.

Gulf Shores, Alabama
Looks like it's a nice Gulf beach community, between Mobile and Pensacola. And it's near some other Baldwin County towns, which also seem at first glance nice (i.e. Foley, Fairhope, etc).

Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi
It’s a Mississippi coastal town, and it doesn’t look too bad. There seem to be many retirees.

Bradenton, Florida
Home of IMG Academy, one of the most expensive boarding schools in the country. It's a pretty nice place, but I think neighboring Sarasota is a bit nicer.

Rapid City, South Dakota
Seems like an interesting town near the Black Hills that I'd definitely like to explore. Klamath Falls OR.

Looks like it'd be an alright smaller city, in southern Oregon, or Jefferson. Whatever you wanna call that area. And that it does have a local state college(Oregon Institute of Technology), a nearby lake if you want to boat(Upper Klamath Lake), an Amtrak station on the Coast Starlight route(that's a good plus for me), and isn't too far away from Medford and Ashland if you want more things to do. Plus of course, isn't too far away from Crater Lake National Park either. And the crime rate(per checking the C-D profile page for Klamath Falls) doesn't look too bad, if slightly above the national average.
