I'd really like to see Pittsburgh. It looks like a very photogenic city. Nice skyline too, I love that gothic looking skyscraper there.

My future home ....

Albuquerque, New Mexico

1 - Awesome food, I love New Mexican cuisine, green and red chili's.

2 - Nob Hill, walkable, colorful, and eclectic neighborhood with a collegiate hispter element and Route 66 kitsch.

3 - Near perfect climate (4 seasons, cool but balmy winters, hot summers but not too hot, 300+ days of sunshine)

4 - Old Town: Old and historic ambiance with a Spanish plaza captures the essence and character of New Mexico.

5 - Impressive museums for a city/metro of its size

6 - Close to Santa Fe and all the awesome art galleries and museums up there

7 - Open spaces: Plenty of elbow room, plenty of parks and open spaces in the city, Rio Grande Bosque, lots of bike trails, and wide open spaces on the periphery

8 - Awesome roadtrips: Taos and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Jemez Springs, the Pueblos, Ojo Caliente hot springs, White Sands, Ruidoso, Arizona and Colorado close by

9 - The Sandia Mountains

10 - Great people

can't wait to move there! 6 months to go!
