Nothing personal RJ, I just want to keep it all for myself. I’m selfish that way.

Believe me - I have not lost a thing in CO. You never have to worry about me clogging up I-70whatever. After driving from Silverton to Ouray in the middle of the night - I don’t want to drive on any road located within your borders.

But then again - I am a flatlander from West Texas. [/quote]

Oh yeah, the Million Dollar highway. One of favorite parts of the state. Great jeeping around there.

Well, im looking for something thats not too huge, no big ass cities for this country bumpkin, but anywhere with a few hundred thousand population doesnt bother me, if it helps my degree is for graphic design and print communication. I do like all 4 seasons, but winter is just too damn harsh here, snow is just fine, just not interested in 40 below anymore. Now by all means continue bickering over colorado and texas, im gettin a good laugh out of it.

No dice. In fact, would you be interested in taking Hollywood for a while? I sure wouldn’t miss it.

No thanks. We have “The People’s Republic of Boulder”, that’s bad enough.

Yeah don’t they confiscate your shampoo and issue out Teva’s once you decide to reside there?

No offence Aerostallion, just an observation… :o)

Cheyenne Wyoming, not very many people, lots of open space. About and hour or so from Denver and 25 to 30 minutes north of Fort Collins. Frontier Days every July if you like rodeo and an Air Force base that I am stationed at. Not a whole lot to do but workout and play sports.

That’s the problem with just about everywhere else–including of course, Kahleeforneea. Of course, at least CA has the coolest Gov–especially now that ‘the Body’ is done in Minn.

Ok, what is all this Colorado vs. Texas bull shit. Who wants to be land locked with a bunch of cows? (Just kidding, I like milk and beef). But seriously. If you like the beach, the mountains, clubs, bars, gyms, good weather and smokin women, move to SoCal. And yeah, it’s pretty much the birthplace of our subculture.

74

Ok, and then there’s the “OC”, “Laguna Beach”, a dozen Beach Boys songs, “California Dreaming”, “California Love”, uh, waves and stuff…

75

Oh! Oh! “CHiPs”!!!

Regarding the job market and climate, the DC/NoVA area is relatively immune to economic fluctuations in the rest of the country. The Federal Government ensures a steady stream of income and jobs in the region. You can get a job in practically any industry here. There’s really no excuse for being unemployed in this area.

As far as weather goes, you get all four seasons here. The seasons here are unique in that you get summers as hot and humid as they are in the deep south and winters almost as cold as they are in NE, but it’s only like that during the peak of each season, with the rest of any particular season being fairly mild. I think the mid atlantic region is the only one in the country like that.

I’ve lived in SoCal for almost 3 years now. Previously, I lived in Utah (mainly just disliked the cold there), and I’ve traveled around a fair bit.

Anyway, really love San Diego (where I work, and where I lived for my first two years) and Temecula (where I live now). The weather here is unbelievable, the beaches are great, there are plenty of things to do… yeah, pretty much what everyone else has said. It’s definitely expensive, but depending on your line of work, your income can make up for it.

Btw, I wouldn’t put all of SoCal in the same basket. There are palpable differences between LA, San Diego, and the Inland Empire. Personally, I wouldn’t want to live in LA. Of all the places I’ve visited and lived, Temecula and various communities in San Diego (e.g. La Jolla, Del Mar, Rancho Penasquitos, Coronado) are at the very top of my “most desirable places to live” list - which is why I’m here now.

What, no recommendations for Louisiana? We experience all seasons. It’s just that summer lasts 7 months and is full of hot as fuck days and bugs so loud that they’re almost deafening at night. Oh and there’s the rain. Gotta love the rain and the mold that grows from all this moisture and humidity. Oh, did I mention the threat of hurricanes and other serious storms. And there’s the lovely substandard roads that criss cross the state. Ooh I forgot about one of the worst education systems too. But we know how to have a party!

I lived and grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Then I spent seven years in parts of SoCal(Oceanside, Fallbrook, San Diego, San Fernando, Santa Clarita). I missed the four seasons and snow and greenery. Plus I missed the Packers, Brewers, beers and brats.

I’ve been back in Wisconsin for a little over a year now and I’m really debating with myself about moving back to California. I miss the beaches and the climate. I’m bored here in Milwaukee.

I was happy to see my first winter and snowfall in over 7 years, but it wasn’t all that great. After the snow, it was just cold for like three months. Nothing exciting, just cold. I like the football; Packer and Badger fever, but I still miss SoCal. Besides, there were a couple Packer bars in North San Diego County.

In California I hated the traffic and how expensive housing was. I guess that’s the only positives about me staying here in the Midwest: very light traffic and cheap housing.

Just for comparison’s sake; I now have a one-bedroom apartment in downtown Milwaukee for $425 a month. In Santa Clarita I had a three-bedroom for $1700 and a two-bedroom for $1400. Before I lived in my current apartment, I had a two-bedroom in a Milwaukee suburb(Wauwatosa), with a backyard and garage for $600. In Fallbrook(northern San Diego County) I had one-bedroom for $675 and a two-bedroom for $800, but I’m sure those have gone up by now. It really is a huge difference.

But I still sit and think and wonder if it would be worth it to move back. I really do miss SoCal and most everything that comes with it. I love Milwaukee, but after seven years in the west, I feel too “left coast” to be comfortable here.

One other topic I want to comment on is girls. Yeah, there are a lot of hot girls in Cali. But most of them are sort of the same. They are all the same stereotypical Southern California beach bunny. Especially the California natives. That’s not to say that there are other types of girls, but a large percentage of the population falls into the stereotype. So much so that it became a turn-off to me. Now, with that being said, I kind of miss the “California Girl”.

I don’t know what I’m getting at and I don’t know if I’m helping at all. I just know that there is probably good and bad no matter where you live. I can’t even decide myself where I want to live. Should I go back?

I’m lost,
