    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

    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.

    yep, heard about that. scary little town, warrensburg.

    Seems like there's not much to do but get into trouble.

    I dont have a job that would allow me to move all over the country.. it would be finding a new job and place to be..
    i dont know i just feel like i need a change and to see other places..
    everyone has always called me a gypse..

    That's fine and well but for how long? At some point you are going to have to settle down some place. If you feel like you need to change to see other places then quit your job and travel for a few months.

    Columbia and Warrensburg! Two places I have lived :)

    I currently live in Kansas City, MO and I love it!!! Specifically, the area where my house is located called Waldo. Everything you need is there! I can walk to the grocery store, the movies, the gym, and the mall. There is a lot of young people in the area, tons of bars and restaurants and we even have a farmer's market from April-October!

    Hey if you liked Maine, I'm told by those who have lived both places that my home is a lot like it -- the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

    But if the cold is an issue, don't come, it's been -10 or colder for the last three days. :grumble:

    KC isn't bad. I've got a lot of friends there, and when a good concert is coming through i usually prefer a KC show over a STL show (st louis---cringe). I had an opportunity to move there a few years ago, but it was way too much city for me.

    I :heart: CoMo pretty friggin' hard. I'll probably grow old and die here.

    So I have that itch to move again..
    dont know where still trying to think it through..
    I was born in Maine.. grew up in New Hampshire, went back to NH.. then back to Maine
    then to Long island NY and have moved like 7 times on long island since..
    I am thinking a move is in order.. not that i can afford to do it now but nothing wrong with a little planning ....


    what are some of the places you would move if you could?

    I'm in the same boat!! I'm moving in 6 months, and now I'm just trying to figure out where!

    I lived in San Francisco for two years and absolutely loved it. If you can stomach (or wallet) the living costs it's an experience everyone should have.

    I'm Canadian and haven't traveled in the states too much, besides New York. But if I was going to move to a major American city it would probably be Boston or Atlanta. I think I would enjoy both places very much.

    Plus, Boston accents are my favourite. I could listen to that **** all day.

    yep. I did my research. Portland had the best atmosphere. Boulder had the best college and the best activities. Columbia won for best location and weather.
