SWB, I don't think you have failed. You have to be happy with small steps. If YOU like Scranton, that should be enough. Good luck to you. BTW, I see you don't have Denver on your list. Too bad, I could show you around, show you some suburbs with sidewalks (!), etc.
Suburban sidewalks? Is that an oxy-moron? LOL! Denver is ultimately just a bit too isolated from the entirety of my extended family for my tastes. The nearest relatives would all be a plane flight away.

Don't you remember that big, long discussion? Yes, suburban sidewalks. Oh, well. Good luck in your decision.
Center City, Philadelphia. Very gay-friendly. Very walkable. Good restaurants. Many activities. Extremely historic. Less expensive than NYC. Attractive people; intelligent, too. Need I say more?
That seems to be right up your alley! (pun intended...teasing though...lol.)
That town seems to be teeming with very-intelligent people, like yourself SWB! I'd think it'd be a fit.
Boston is currently winning my heart over. I know it's incredibly expensive, but a CPA and salon owner should be able to earn enough combined to get by. We don't want to live extravagant lifestyles by any means. If we live close enough to the city core we won't need a vehicle. I'd ideally love to have a rowhome (especially one of those in Beacon Hill), but I know those cost mega-moolah!
P.S. "Very-intelligent?" Were you looking in the mirror again?
How about trying the someplace with much milder winters than the cities on the list and trying someplace in the Lower Midwest and living in St. Louis, Kansas City, Indianapolis, Columbus, or Cincinnati? All I see on these lists are cities with the most severe winters out there. If I had to choose a city in the Northeast/Upper Midwest, I would go with either Chicago or the Twin Cities. If I had to choose the Northeast, I'd probably do either Boston or New York.

I personally love a nice, long, hearty winter; I suppose I'm one of the oddballs out there today. As the forecast once again calls for highs near 80 the next few days, I'm wondering "Where is Fall?" At this rate winter won't be coming until February. I've already had several people trying to steer me to Charlotte, but I refuse to move to a city that's lucky to get two or three inches of snow all season and has dew points in the 70s all summer long. (I'm not a pretty sight when I'm running and all sweaty from the humidity). ICK!

I see. Well, take my advice and try the Twin Cities. Probably the most friendly city in the Upper Midwest. I wouldn't do Cleveland or Detroit because they are losing population and experiencing economic decline right now.
