That being said, I've lived in a very wide range of places over my lifetime, including Europe and Asia, and I found something to like about every place I've ever lived, with the possible exception of Fort Hood, Texas (and even Fort Hood had one nice thing going for it - it was close to the beautiful Texas Hill Country!). I could be happy just about anywhere in the US.
