I live in Nashville. Love it. Culture everywhere, balanced people (because nobody here is FROM here it seems.) I hate the weather in the south, but that's because I come from California (also known as the only place God would live.)
I love that every musician here has "don't you know who I think I am" syndrome. Makes it easy to mess with heads and take their gigs....0 -

Are you a musician?
Culture is good keeps things interesting! Is it cold in southern Tennessee? its cold here lol I hate cold MN dont mind the summers tho0 -
EVERYTHING.
Colorado has four seasons, lots of open space and parks.. best public transit in the nation, a thriving beer scene, the mountains, a diverse culture, reasonable cost of living ... I could go on all day.
Does the 4 seasons include long winters? My best friend from elementary school lives there and we recently got in contact again so thinking of taking a trip to visit!0 -

Yes, I'm a musician. It gets cold out here compared to what I'm used to. My buddy is originally from Edina, MN. When he complains about it being cold I ask what he remembers about MN winters. He says "human beings shouldn't live in that weather" and ceases to complain. Hah.0 -
I live in Ontario Canada and I must say that I LOVE snow at Christmas! Our summers are not nearly long enough! I love the sun! I always say someday I will move to the South! Maybe buy a vacation home somewhere warm someday0

I moved near Boston a couple months ago from Florida.... HUGE change!!! I hated the humidity... but not really diggin the cold either!!! Getting snow already hasn't helped. I do love the city~ the food, culture, architecture, accent, it's crazy here compared to down south.0

Do not move to New Jersey. May I suggest one of the Carolinas?0

Haha true statement humans shouldnt live in that lol..last year i swear the snow got taller then me lol. Are you in a band? Lol i always wanted to learn how to play the drums but never got to it...0 -
I live in the western 'burbs of Chicago.
What I love about where I live:
+ The multitude, never-ending choice of things to do with a kid: going into Chicago on the train and all that it entails, great local park districts, zoos, museums (mainly in the city).
+ Schools here are excellent.
+ Everything is ultra-convenient. I live within 5 minutes of a ton of stores, both chain stores and locally owned businesses.
+ Seasons. Relatively mild winters compared to those north of here and those who suffer from the dreaded "lake effect". Also, I'm not a fan of "brown" which is all I notice when I drive out west. I like green. It's green here. I don't do desert. ... or brown.
Because I'm a fan of tempering the good with the bad, here goes...
What I don't like about where I live:
- God-awfully bad, stupid and sloooooow drivers which manage to, on a daily basis, make me shake my head on even the smallest of commutes. I mean, like, if I were to go down the street to my local Walgreens which is only a couple of minutes in the car max, I will see someone run a stop sign. Or, the heavens forbid, if I had to encounter a 4-way stop sign on my route, you can see tiny heads billowing with smoke from their ears from the confusion it causes their tiny brains.
- I really don't think folks are all that nice here. I think it's a misconception about the "Midwest being sugar and candy sweet." -- at least in this area it's not true. I'm originally from the DC area so I'm experienced with "attitude."
- This is the reason I most dislike it here: despite having a ton of things to do both locally and in Chicago, it's a big damned drive to get to anywhere interesting. By "interesting" I mean different scenery. Mountains, anything topographically bigger than a mole-hill, water that isn't Lake Michigan... more importantly, the ocean. I miss the ocean.0 -
it isn't haunted
i dont think
I couldnt live somewhere haunted lol I think I would be jumping at every little noise haha..I already freak out a little to much over silly house noises =D0 -

Not allowed to advertise in forums apparently, but I am in a band that happens to be at www.koriandermusic.com but the FB page...facebook.com/koriandermusic is better kept up with.0 -
I love living in IL except when the snow gets bad. We have all 4 seasons. This fall was one of the best EVER!!!!! I love the midwest values. I live in the NW burbs of Chicago now, so I'm close enough to the city (or even Milwaukee) that I can partake of all the wonderful food and arts available. I live in Lake County, so there are lots of farms, open spaces and forest preserves. When the weather is nice I take a 10 minute drive and ride my bike at one of the most beautiful forest preserves!0

Nothing
I grew up in MN where for fun we would drive around one of the lakes in the town and travel the 15 minutes to Spamtown to visit Target (exciting!) Now I live in IL and I refuse to leave the house because I hate all the traffic and the drivers and there is no nature. Just overpriced suburb crap and unfriendly people.
My friend recently moved away after having lived in the Chicagoland area her whole life and she was shocked that there are actually friendly people out there.
Though, I'm sure I'd hate it no matter where I lived 0 -
I grew up in MN, left 20 yrs ago. I love the seasons, the lakes, the forest/trees, and of course my family. I live in UT now about 40 miles from Salt Lake City. It's beautiful here as well. I love the mountains!!! And we have seasons. It is a desert, so its not so humid in summer. It gets cold but not extreme like a MN winter. I got married in MN, the day after Christmas, it was -50* with the wind chill. But that's want I miss most....the colder temps
Also home is where your heart is

I love it here in Chattanooga, TN. There's so much to do; people are friendly... it's a great place for kids, and (having lived in Minnesota) the cost of living PALES in comparison.
Is it warm there?
We're expecting a high of 70 today. It does get colder... we'll have periods of 10-15 degree days, but not for long. Summers tend to be pretty nasty though... 100+ for most of the summer. But it's a nice place.0 -
About the place you live. I feel like I really need a change I have lived here my entire life (Minnesota) and theres been alot of not nice things that have occured. And I just want to go take a vacation or something maybe even move if it would work out thats just really hard to do on my own with 2 kids.
I just moved from Minneapolis to London, England! It's so awesome here!! i love it! You can walk into any pub at the weekend and it's a brilliant night. From a young single woman's perspective, it's a great place to be. Always something to do.0 -
I live in La Vista, Nebraska, which is a suburb of Omaha. Grew up in another nearby suburb, moved to Fredericksburg, VA when I was 14, then moved back here 2 years later.
I love living here. It's low crime, people are very nice, and the cost of living is low compared to most other places. And no, I don't live in the middle of a cornfield. We just bought a home with 1600 finished square feet in an established neighborhood for $116k.
Omaha is the base for many companies call center offices etc. I work for the Corporate consumer affairs office for a major upscale hotel company. Our economy is fine and there are jobs aplenty...we didn't get hit hard by the recession.
There's also a plethora of great hospitals to choose from (in VA, there was ONE hospital in the area), great schools (I love the district my kids are in), and no shortage of grocery stores, shopping, etc. Traffic isn't bad either, and is a breeze compared to driving in Northern VA. A traffic 'jam' here is everyday business in VA.
I think I'll probably end up dying here too LOL.0 -
Looooooove Austin. It's not too big, not too small. Love the weirdos, the music, the festivals, the hills, the trees, how everybody is outside, there are so many trails/hikes, so many activities going on all the time. I love how friendly everybody is.
I just love love love it here.0 -

I always thought it was weird that IL, IN, Ohio, etc were all considered mid west. I think where I live is more accurate 'midwest' since we're literally halfway in between the east and west coast (I live in Nebraska). People here are a LOT nicer than people on the coasts. I lived in VA, and working for a major hotel company lets me talk to people from all over, and some of the nastiest people I talk to are from the coasts (california and New york specifically).0
