Places I'm daydreaming about moving. Tell me why I should daydream about moving to where you live.
I have three TVs in my living room.

I'm here.

Don't come to my town (Kingston) unless you love having a very limited pool of stores for shopping (both grocery and otherwise), the worst drivers in Ontario (seriously, I am constantly amazed) and an almost wholly WASP ethnicity (quite sad). It's scenic though and has accessible waterfront (Lake Ontario so not the best for swimming or anything else that involves "pristine" water as it is quite polluted), that's about the only thing going for it, sadly.

I really have no idea why people want to live here. It must have to do with age (I'm 27 and it seems to be an older demographic that likes it here).

box, you might like to move to the Boston area because there are lots of libraries here. We don't get the extreme weather that other places get (hurricanes, floods, droughts, etc.). We have more-or-less moderate summers and lots to do. We are the history makin' place!

Because I live in the hometown of the world-famous Beer Nuts!

Don't come here. I'll go to your place.

Here in Poughkeepsie, there a restaurant called the Dutch Cabin, which resembles a mountain chalet. Inside, however, Mexican food's on the menu, along with Guinness on tap. It's as close to Cowboy Feng's as you can get.

You might like the someplace in the greater Bay area. I love Marin because it is so close to the world city of San Francisco, but just far enough away to still feel sort-of rural. We have a very nice maritime climate here. It never gets too hot or too cold. However, we only have 2 seasons, and we call them green and brown. It either rains or it doesn't. That's our weather, except for the fog which most people actually like. There's is so much to do here for interests and hobbies, I can't even list one thing because there are so many things to do here. And food - well what ever you want you can get someplace in SF. Most of the people here are really nice and good hearted, but there are always going to be people anywhere you live that suck. But just be prepared to spend half your wages on rent.

Well, our water's polluted; the air's thick with exhaust fumes during rush hour, of which there are many; and ... I can't think of anything else really.
On second thought--come on down, and bring the folks too:)

Living in Western Mass. It's rural, but not too rural, gorgeous in all four seasons, and affordable.

Day dream about my night dreams, then i can have an ally in the consistent need to overturn whatever overlord/shadow government is oppressing that particular world.
There's a lot of hiding and running from spies and agents to keep you fit and your heart rate elavated, and many shopping opportunities in futuristic hotel boutique cities, plus unparalleled views and entrance to relics and historic architecture. Formal wear is often included, as are armaments.

The streets of New York pulsate with the vibe and soul of Stevie Wonder.

Because Twinkie is very warm and cuddly.

Minneapolis/St. Paul: All the climatological allure of Fargo, but with a better arts scene!
Nah, I kid (sort of), this is a good place to live--socially/politically progressive (by USian standards), strong economy, good outdoorsy opportunities, aforementioned arts scene--but it's definitely best for people who dig X-treme Weather.

Food, music, cinema, theatre, bookstores, architecture, museums, concerts, lectures by everyone famous and infamous you know or you dont, true progressives, shopping & fucking, skyline, mass transportation, very good hairdressers, Riverside park.

Just off the top of my head. Yes, I am in a NY state of mind today, can I?

Come for the Beaches (Atlantic, Neptune, Jacksonville), stay for the bars.
posted by paulsc 25 January | 14:15
Oh Paul too true. The beaches are beautiful in Florida. You left out Anastasia Beach near St. Augustine, though, a personal favorite of mine.

Also, St. George Island and Port St Joe beaches on the panhandle, are very good.
Ay, northern Florida.

Along with the famous museums and sights and stuff, DC has the most amazing ethnic diversity of any place I've ever lived, with the resulting diversity of foods, people, and cultural events.

British Columbia's advertised as The Best Place on Earth. I can't really argue with that although I'm sure there are other "Best Places".

Vancouver is nice as large-ish cities go. There's lots of outdoorsy type stuff to do. House prices are semi-reasonable once you get out of Vancouver. The unemployment rate is low.

The weather in the Lower Mainland (as the Greater Vancouver area is known) is great - there are four distinct seasons, there are a few days over 90F in the summer and some snow in the winter, not too dry and not too humid.

L.A.: warm weather almost year-round (we had a terrible "cold" snap a few weeks ago, though -- it dipped below freezing for a couple of evenings. Ha! That's as bad as it gets!). Great museums, theatre, food, and shopping. The Hollywood Bowl. Random celebrity sightings (hey, look! It's Lawrence Fishburne eating crepes at Farmer's Market!). Beaches, mountains, and desert all within a few hours of each other.

Ditto everything scody said, plus, not very far away at all, there's this great big beautiful ocean and you can get wet in it almost any time you want.
