    California is the best... 30 min to the beach, 2 hrs to the mountains.. you can go surfing and snowboarding in the same day :love:

    Where on LI have you lived? Being a fellow new yorker, I just love it here. Maybe you just haven't found the right city?

    - I have lived in Oceanside, Northport, Massapequa, Hicksville and now i am currently in Farmingdale which i like.
    I would love to Live in Brooklyn tho.. but i cant afford that..
    I guess I feel I am Stuck between my feeling of wanting to be in a city and my love for small town environment.

    Boston sounds like your kind of town :laugh:

    ETA: I mean you're already a New Englandah of sorts...

    yeah Boston would be fun. I love Boston..

    I've already moved to my dream city:

    It's in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by farms and forests.

    It's got 4 college campus areas, a billion bars, and a thriving local art scene.

    There are tons of hippies, hipsters, artists, weirdos, and geeks.

    It's not a city, but not a small town.

    It's practically a dart-throw center of the United States.
    .
    .
    .
    It was either here, Boulder, CO, or Portland OR

    Hmmm...you are not far from where I live. But I don't think I would consider it my "dream city." Personally, I LOVE Panama City.

    oh, gads, warrensburg! I used to drink underage there, like, a billion years ago. scary, scary place. my baby brother lives there now, rest his poor soul.

    i heard a rumor that all the bars on the strip shut down. is this horror true? what in the world do you DO???

    and aaross: you move here and you'll have a work-out buddy right away

    Come out to Colorado!!! We have lots of open space! Great place to live but then again maybe I am biased. I am a rare native to Colorado. I moved out to California a bit but I had to come back home. This is my home and always will be.

    I grew up in the suburbs of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Currently reside on the east coast of Florida. Desperately want to move to Colorado Springs.

    You really spelled Pittsburgh all wrong there...

    I wouldn't want to live there! They have terrible sports teams!

    Texas Hill Country for sure. I love to bike ride and you can do it pretty much year round here (sunny and 81F today). Only other places I would consider might be Santa Fe, Moab, or Bend Oregon.

    Oh funny there's an Oceanside in California. I would say come to California but it's just expensive and the people are different...some good ways, some bad ways. I would go to Austin, TX. Love that place!

    We have a stable economy, lots of jobs, a state that has a surplus of money and a pretty awesome 'Little" Big town. I could never leave here. :bigsmile:

    You can probably get a good deal on a house in Detroit.

    Paid for our house in full... cost less than my fiance's used car. :ohwell:

    That said... DON'T COME HERE.

    Now I see why you're restless! I would not be happy in those cities either lol I'm in Whitestone now and love it. Quiet neighborhood that's great when you actually wanna sleep in the city, yet a stone's throw away from all the action :tongue:

    That would be Fort Worth-Arlington... no lie... granted our mass transportation SUCKS majorly... :grumble: But we have the small town feeling, yet not so removed from culture...

    I'm a bit of a nomad too.. love to move. I guess I have a restless spirit. My most recent move (2 years ago) was to Dallas, TX (woohooo 3 hours away from where I was before and where I am now) lol.. I wasn't so crazy about it then, but thinking about a move again.

    Dallas is cool and lots to do.. hot in the summer though.

    I was told that if I ever decided to move back to the Dallas area to move to Ft. Worth instead.. nicer... home-ier feel... so I'm thinkin' about it. :)

    HA! No, not true. It just seems that they change ownership a million times. One of the owners was murdered a couple months ago, which might be where your rumor came from also.
