Not the mecca, maybe the 'NYC' comparison to all other silicon-y advanced areas. areas of the Northeast, parts of Chicago and Dallas(both called the Silicon Prairie) are also very silicon-y.
as for San Jose, he said he didn't want overload, if you going to mention San Jose might as well mention Los Angeles, Chicago, DFW, NYC, Houston, Miami, and Atlanta...

I don't really know how to phrase this question, but I'm looking for a city that's not too big yet not too small. I like having everything I could ever need around me and having easy access to public transit but cities like NYC seem a little overwhelming. Looking to possibly get a job related to technology... any suggestions on a relatively large city that's not too congested and has lots to do?
Pittsburgh, PA. Got lots of tech jobs, 2.5 mil metro and 300k city. Kind of like St. Louis but with the universities(Carnegie Mellon, Pitt, Duquesne, etc.) there's a lot of jobs for tech people.
If you're into doing Healthcare IT then UPMC, Highmark, and Allegheny General all do big business in the city. Lots of other smaller spinoffs and startups from college kids really energize the business climate.
Lots of outdoor recreation and just beautiful architecture, full of rivers and hills. It's a very unique and special city.
Actually, St. Louis does have a technical college. Ranken Technical College - About Ranken (http://www.ranken.edu/AboutRanken/main.asp - broken link) I'm not sure about jobs, though. If you're a student apparently they'll help you find one.
And of course St. Louis also Washington University, St. Louis University, and other smaller universities in the area.
Ranken Technical College - Employers of Ranken Students (http://www.ranken.edu/CareerServices/Employers.asp - broken link) has a list of employers who hire people who have graduated from Ranken, although I'm sure they hire non-Ranken graduates as well.
And you can always go through job agencies, like Monster.com or Yahoo! Jobs. Stltoday.com has job listings as well.
Pittsburgh a fine choice, just saying St. Louis may have the jobs also. Personally, I'd make a list of places I'd like to move to and spend some time online seeing what kind of jobs are available in each market.
And St. Louis has wonderful architecture as well, and fortunately a lot of historic buildings are being used again. Unfortunately, some, like the Century and the Switzer building, have been lost.

Although, baseball tickets are probably easier to get in Pittsburgh. Busch Stadium (in St. Louis) has sold out or nearly sold out the past couple of years.
