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
Rivaled only by Portland, Me., for coolness among small East Coast cities. Great arts scene downtown, which is also home to the oldest public farmers' market in the country. And the very productive farmland in Amish country, which surrounds the city, means there's plenty of fresh food to buy in that market. You can be in Philadelphia in a little more than an hour as well.
Non-Amish love to joke about the names of three communities in Amish country not far from this city: Intercourse, Bird-in-Hand and Blue Ball.

Looks like a solid blue-collar inner-ring suburb. No real downtown but has SEPTA and isn't far from Philly proper. I'd probably live in Pennsauken if I had to live in NJ and not in the immediate NYC area.

Cheyenne, WY
Seems like it'd be an alright smaller city(the one time or 2 I ever street viewed Cheyenne), myself. If I had to ever live in Wyoming for any reason, at least it's location isn't too far from the Denver metro area, if you need additional amenities.
The other more populated Wyoming city, and #2 for population among WY's cities and towns: Casper, WY
Location: northern Vermont - previously NM, WA, & MA

Pretty isolated and far from the national parks, not scenic in any way that stands out, windy and cold weather. Economically subject to volatile whims of the energy industry, not any place I'd go out of my way to visit.

New London, CT
Diverse, lower-middle income coastal city. Typical ex-whaling and fishing port, but a bit more industrial. Known for Fort Trumbull as well as the Coast Guard. Fairly interesting downtown on the harbor with places to eat and drink. In a lot of ways, it's comparable to New Bedford, MA. Certainly not one of the most desirable places to live in Connecticut, but it's far from the worst places to live in the US.

Grand Rapids, MI
It always seems like it'd be nice, at least from what I've read about Grand Rapids? A la Columbus, it's one of the few smaller Midwest cities to still have a little bit of population growth going for it. It always seemed pretty nice, whenever I street viewed Grand Rapids. I think Founders Brewing Company started there?

Fort Wayne, IN
Based upon my own limited perception I would say "large aging post-Industrial city with crime issues---the Toledo, OH of Indiana".

NEXT CITY: Binghamton, NY
A small, quiet, sleepy city in upstate NY. Dirt cheap housing, nice natural setting, decent urban character, overall an ok enough place to live. Actually reminds me quite a bit of my town (Roanoke VA). The weather I think is the biggest downside.
Jefferson City MO

Jefferson City is one of the smaller capital cities despite being in a moderately large state. It has rather hilly topography on the banks above the Missouri River. There is a small university but otherwise not much economic activity beyond the government. It's really the secondary urban center of mid-Missouri, as Columbia a little to the north with the flagship university is a much livelier place.
Hobbs, NM? (Please don't assume it resembles Santa Fe )
