Find Your Spot

Re: Find Your Spot

Coming back to add that I've got nothing against Little Rock. I've never been there. I'm surprised by how often it is coming up -- maybe I need to visit! DH has been there once. He's not into the bar scene but declared the night life there absolutely dead. The only place open was a Barnes and Noble bookstore and that closed really early. This was a problem for him because he really had to pee and I think was lost in an unfamiliar place. He...ended up peeing on the grounds of the state capital. That was over 10 years ago. Maybe they have a Starbucks that stays open past 8pm now.

Re: Find Your Spot

So I went back and changed my locations to only the pacific northwest, midwest and south and my top 5 were still the same but Rochester showed up at the bottom. Cincinnati was the only one of DH's 4 possible fellowship locations that showed up...

I wonder why Little Rock didn't show up on my lists...

Well, maybe if real estate drops low enough you and I can be neighbors in a few years. I never actually thought Long Island would be on my list....

Re: Find Your Spot

That was fun. Interestingly we love Scottsdale but find that Tucson has a more friendly small town feel.

Scottsdale, Arizona
Abilene, Texas
St. George, Utah
Amarillo, Texas
Hampton, Virginia
Greenville, North Carolina

ETA: The above is my list for medium sized cities. When I change to large cities this is my list. Looks like we are right where we're supposed to be. Although I hardly consider Tucson to be a large metropolitan city. I guess that's part of its charm. Big city with small town feel.


El Paso, Texas
Tucson, Arizona
Norfolk, Virginia
Phoenix, Arizona
Charlotte, North Carolina
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Re: Find Your Spot

mine were Honolulu, San Diego, Los Angeles, Baton Rouge and some other city I don't remember.

DC and Balto made it to page two but San Antonio didn't make it until page 4- I think the public transportation questions knocked it down.

I don't have any illusion of control though so it's all where Uncle Sam sends us (or not) for the next 8 years.
