WTF??

With the exception of their #1 for me, Cincinnati, OH (which I'm dead nuts certain I'd hate) and Long Island, NY (huh??) practically my entire list consisted of cities in Tennessee, North Carolina and Washington.

Either the Extreme U&L or Eastern Seaboard 'Neck towns?? That's it?

Okay, I can at least see where Raleigh and Ashland might be pretty sweet.

I don't think any of those New Jersey spots would be wholesome for any of you. You must have picked a lower housing price range but wanted the big city life with sports.

New Brunswick, NJ is 15 minutes away from NYC, yet is filled with what I and my NJ buddies learned from me to call them, "Hajii's" that flood that fucking state to the brim with bad smells fumagating their apartments, bad driving skills ('sup snow and good weather at the same time?), bad manners, and just foul people that flood the region with gold colored Camry's.

Chinks: The Mayor of West Windsor is a chink from a foreign land.

Russians: The are the East Coast version of Mexicans that refuse to learn the English language out here in CA.

You get out of the medium sized NJ cities and then you have your townships like Bruce Springsteen is from, but doesn't sing about in his "Blue Collar" upbringing.

Townships like his are kickass and not for the poor even back in the day.

So, in conclusion... if you got a New Jersey place in your list, you must want to live near a major pro sports town without paying elevendy million dollars for that locale.

Mine:

Providence, RI (actually been there, nothing to write home about)
Hartford, CT
New Haven, CT
Portland, OR (sup, Dins)
Shreveport-Bossier City, LA (WTF?)
Las Cruces, NM

San Bernardino, CA

Monroe, LA (ditto)
Santa Barbara, CA

Suprised at the number of hits I got in the South (I lived there for 3 1/2 years, and wouldn't want to go back), and the U&L (sup, Dins), as well as the scarcity of hits in the U&R (perhaps my dislike of snow has something to do with that).

I wasn't too thrilled about having to give my work telephone number to these people in order to take the survey, either. :brad:

2. White Salmon isn't that far from here...but due to proximity to the Gorge, has Arctic winters, and WAY too many cousinfuckers. I'll pass.

3. Is canada.
