I was massively impressed with Victoria. Beautiful, clean, scenic. It was basically what I expected Seattle to be, instead of the filthy, blighted piece of shit that it actually was.
I guess if that qualifies as a major city, that would be the one I'd pick. |

Food, wine, and art were all great. The food experience we had at Lazy Bear was fantastic. So was Muir Woods. I would enjoy the intellectual and entrepreneural climate. I would not take part in any water activities that involves me getting wet. Too freaking cold. I would choose Manhattan over SF. For the things I care about, both cities have much to offer, but Manhattan is more my style. Not that I could come close to affording either on my projected retirement income. |

Except like Twain discovered, l did 100 years later. Coldest winter ever was a summer in San Francisco.

I’m never living in another country again. I miss my peeps, culture, the easy slang and shared experiences.

This should be qualified better, because if I want to live somewhere else in U.S. I'd do it. Though attachments such as family relationships is the crux and ****s up such plans because you factor that if you want to move.

I've thought about this one for a couple days, and the city I live in doesn't matter much to me (obviously LOL).
My business and my kid's friends are far bigger concerns for where I am going to live than what I'm going to be doing after work. For the sake of argument, if I can move everything I love about where I am, I'm moving to Honolulu. I ****ing loved Hawaii when I was there, and I can get my ass out of town and chill really easily. The leeward (IIRC - I live in the High Plains - Give me a break) side of the island is arid enough that the humidity won't choke my ass to death (I live in a desert. It is a major weather issue for me. Much more than cold), and it doesn't snow. And Teddy's, Mother****ers. |

Don't want to live in ANY major downtown city in ANY state. Don't like them - don't go to them.
Downtown KC is too big for me….give me the burbs any day. Been in major metropolitan areas all over the world from New York to DC to Mannheim to Berlin to Moscow. No thanks. |

Only one I’ve been to is San Fran, which was nice, but I’d fear the earthquakes. For another U.S. city I’d pick Boston, my hometown. Elsewhere, I’d try Toronto or Vancouver or Montreal up north; overseas I’d try Barcelona or Stockholm or Oslo or Helsinki.

There used to be a restaurant near the convention center in Anaheim called the "stagecoach" I think, that had a very good steak but it closed, then reopened but not as good. I even stayed four days in Compton one time, that was an experience. They had a golf course built on a dump with a driving range. I don't believe I tried any of the local food though, or at least don't remember it. like you, I do try and avoid chains, except for breakfast. |

I played golf all the time at Cinnabar Hills in South San Jose. I loved driving 84 towards La Honda and riding by the ocean. Riding through Woodside near Alice's Restaurant though the moss covered trees and winding roads was really soothing. I loved Los Altos, downtown San Jose, Gilroy Garlic Festival, Napa Valley, Golden Gate Park, the greenway in front of Safeway in the Marina District, riding my bike on the trails near Stanford and Palo Alto, Lozano's car wash, all the great foods, Clark's burgers and so much more.

Loudoun County in general is gorgeous. I miss it. My mother is obsessed with Harper's Ferry so I'd always take her there when she came down to see me. Have fun!
