    I am in Edmonton and would love to retire to the Okanagan in about 30 years (or sooner if I win the lottery). From the Lower Mainland originally but moved here 11 years ago because we couldn't afford to live down there.

    The city is quite beautiful, especially at that time of year.
    That's quite a drive to make! Especially in the snow!

    I visited Cincinnati once on one of my road trips... went to visit the historical site that was President Taft's home - the only person so far who held positions as President and as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

    @SuperCarLori Where on the PA/OH border? I was raised in PA north of Pittsburgh and only about an hour from Youngstown/Boardman. Lived a couple of years in North Canton.

    I'm in Jefferson, the county seat of Ashtabula. :) In the smelly armpit of Ohio. :D

    Wylie Texas - just named the best small city for families in the USA by NerdWallet - about 25-30 NE of Dallas

    Yep....I am in Wylie, Texas
    Born in Massachusetts, grew up in northern Texas, spent 13 years in east Florida (loved it)

    I love that we are located all over the globe.
    Vancouver, Canada is awesome. I was there for the winter Olympics. My aunts lived there. I spend most of my time (when I can) in Nova Scotia- so beautiful. Maine is gorgeous too.

    Well, you have Geneva-on-the-Lake nearby. That was a cool place when I was a kid...50-55 years ago. Probably changed. :(

    Wylie isn't far from Canton, where I live.

    It has I'm sure, but it's still quaint. I go to the lake at Geneva state park. <3

    The Okanagan is lovely, but we decided on Vancouver Island in the end. We don't have great wineries like you do, but we do have salmon, and whales.

    We have salmon too.... but no whales - I miss whales (used to live in Delta). :'(
