Btw do note THIS THREAD IS the 'give your opinion about ___ city/town', NOT the one where you talk about what ____ city/town is most similar too. Though I can understand your post, since a page or 2 back I accidentally mistaken this thread(saying your opinion of ____ city/town) for the other thread 'what is ____ city/town most similar to(and to state that other city/town)'.

And as for the previous town Dexter, MO, I think it's cool(if Wikipedia is INDEED right?) that it was named after a racing horse. Otherwise, I couldn't google anything else about the town of Dexter that stood out to me.

Wenatchee, WA
Sorry about that. Let me try again. Seems like a nice quiet town near a lot of park and wildlands. Important agricultural area. Vancouver, WA?

A not particularly nice quasi-urban suburb of Portland. I want to like it, but the areas just east are better.

Really touristy and seems kind of mysterious as well. San Augustine FL?

Very family-friendly but overbuilt (like most of the Jersey shore). And everyone stocks up on booze at the Circle Liquor Store before getting on the Ninth Street causeway into the city, which is dry.

Seems like from what I've read about there, and street viewed, that it's a touristy beach town in the Delmarva Peninsula. And often a popular destination, for those from the DC area. Like numerous such NJ beach cities/towns, this one also has a boardwalk.

Speaking of places that are popular with tourists, this one has a lot of historic buildings too: Galena, IL

Small town with a lot of preserved history which is really cool. Burlingame CA

Exclusive San Francisco suburb populated by the wealthy, full of IT/tech wealth, in particular those associated with Meta (Facebook's parent). Great to live if you can afford it, but rather sterile for visiting.

Hastings-on-Hudson, NY

It's close to NY while feeling much more peaceful, unlike Yonkers. Access to Metro North and not too far from the Hudson Highlands, a definite plus. Weather's pretty good, too. Don't know much else, it's probably relatively wealthy, though.

Farmington, NM

Decent-sized town in a very pretty part of the southwest US. Seems to have quite a bit of culture between the Hispanic and Native American influences. Albuquerque is 3 hours away for big city amenities. Don't think I'd ever have any reason to visit but it seems like like it'd be an underrated place to retire.

Lancaster, PA
