Where would you move right now...

[CowboyWay]

In keeping with Bags' moving to Boston theme........

If you could just pick up and find the equivalent job right now, where would you move to in the US. And most importantly, why?

Currently I live in the suburbs of Dallas, but I think I would move to Denver, or just north of Denver to a town called Fort Collins specifically.

I really like Dallas, but two things about it just kill me.
1. The summers are absolutely brutal. I start sweating in mid May and don't stop until the first of November. I start cutting grass in March and don't stop until thanksgiving.

2. No mountains. Hell, I'd settle for a few hills. I love mountains and everything they offer. I'm into skiiing, hunting, and first and foremost, fly fishing for trout, so the mountains to me is pretty much where I would spend all my time if I could. I have freinds who take their vacations and sit on a beach somewhere and bake. I'd rather slam my fingers in a car door than do that. If I have vacation, I'm 7000 feet high, fishing a cold mountain stream.

If you've ever been to Fort Collins, its a small town, college town, but its very family driven, very little crime, bike paths everywhere, and its pretty much dedicated to all things outdoors. Its probably the nicest place I've ever been to raise a family.

I could see myself there in the next 5 years or so.

Your turn.

either Breckinridge, CO or Boston, MA

 

[YosemiteSam]

I moved from Dallas to New York. I now live in Connecticut, but work in Lower Manhattan. Connecticut is absolutely beautiful and I get the greatness that is New York City. I'm happy.

Dallas

I wanted to make that move earlier this year but right now I couldn't sell my house.

 

[DA FAN]

If I could keep my exact job/position, I would move to San Antonio.

It is only a 4 hour drive to Dallas so I could possibly go to more games.

It's only 1 hour away from Concan. I love the Frio River.

Excellent!!


Im w/ Yeagman here. I envy those who live in the DFW area.


Im surrounded by mountains. Some of the biggest in the world.

Trust me - you aren't missing much after a few years of staring at them. =)

Probably Austin, i love that city but having lived most of my life in Norway the Texas summer heat would be torture

 

[DFWJC]

I like the Research Triangle Area of North Carolina---Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill. Close to beaches and mountains, good weather, 4 season, decent cost of living, great universities, etc.

Like many of you, I also like Colorado.

Also, San Diego would be sweet....for obvious reason such as beauty and weather.

Definitely not the Northeast though.

Really beautiful part of the country.

I'd leave the city life again and move back to a ranch with a stock tank full of bass. And of course wild game, deer, turkeys, etc. I also hate the cold weather and find myself thinking of living in Washington State, Alaska, or Canada.

 

[Tusan_Homichi]

I'd live in Montana. Somewhere.

 

[tomson75]

Tahoe in the States. New Zealand otherwise.

 

[Yeagermeister]

I'd live in Montana. Somewhere.

Don't you mean a mysterious island in the South Pacific?

 

[Tusan_Homichi]

Don't you mean a mysterious island in the South Pacific?

I'd go for that too, but such islands tend to be hard to find and once you get there, you never know what might happen.

 

[WoodysGirl]

Chicago...but with a cost of living raise.

 

[AbeBeta]

Vancouver, BC.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Dallas/Arlington area (of course to be close to the Cowboys).

San Antonio loved it there when I was stationed at Ft Sam Houston.

Maybe somewhere nice in New Mexico or Arizona.

Somewhere that would be better for my sinuses and ear problems and I think those above areas would fit well.

The weather in Dallas is the same as it is in Shreveport, LA, but maybe better. The summers are brutal here too and humid. The winters are cold and rainy. It might snow every 10 years. Less traffic here, but also less things to do. I thought about moving to Dallas when I graduate, but it all depends on where the best job is. We took a trip into the mountains in North Carolina during the middle of the summer and it was 70 degrees with no humidity. Then we got back here....

It's a good question. Florida maybe. Just something new. I'm definitely moving.

 

[Hostile]

Mexico. Beach front house.

Was offered a position down there about 5 years ago. Wishing now I had taken it. The guy who did has it so easy. My wife and kids did not want to learn Spanish. Now, after a couple of family vacations down there, they would love to go. Too late.

 

[RESIN8]

Either Marin/Napa County or Central Coast area of California.
