3. That's ok.
I am one of the Chicago defenders from the Boston rabble on this board and Chicago doesn't even place on my list.
Check out my #1 for my biggest irritation.

4. How the hell do THEY know what fits me?
Edited on Wed Apr-27-05 02:59 PM by ClintonTyree
Boston? No way. I'd put Washington ahead of San Francisco and Philly.

Bullstinky...that isn't MY list.

Ok, it's a QUIZ! I thought they were trying to tell me the best places to live. New York, New York all the way baby!

7. Mine
American Cities That Best Fit You:
65% Chicago
60% Philadelphia
55% Los Angeles
55% New York City
55% San Francisco


Actually I don't think I would care much for Chicago, my father hated growing up there.

My favorites would be Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, D.C., Boston, NYC. Anywhere on the coast and not Los Angeles

16. I loved Chicago!
I was born on the WI/IL border-Chicago was our regular getaway nearly every weekend (or go up to Milwaukee). I really miss it.

Edited on Wed Apr-27-05 03:05 PM by Zuni
NYC, Boston, San Fran, DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Seattle

San Diego because of it's gorgeous weather and beaches but definetly NOT Los Angeles. I hate Freeways and strip malls

8. Pft it got me all wrong.
But then in the weather thing there is no option for wanting lots of snow.

65% Miami
60% Philadelphia
55% Austin
55% Chicago
55% Las Vegas

The only city listed I'd even consider is Philadelphia.

12. That would probably be the skiing question...
as a way to determine weather. I liked skiing when I was younger, but you couldn't get me up a slope at gunpoint now.

44. Just didn't strike me as some place I would want to live
Never crossed my mind that is all
But I never thought I would live in Cleveland either, So I am sure Austin would be better than this pit.

18. No Surprises Here
Edited on Wed Apr-27-05 03:22 PM by AndyTiedye
American Cities That Best Fit You:
75% San Francisco
60% Honolulu
60% Los Angeles
60% New York City
55% Boston

Though in reality, San Francisco leads by a lot more than that,
and Honolulu doesn't really do it for me.

This would be more like it:

100% San Francisco
100% San Francisco
33% Los Angeles
25% Boston
20% New York City

22. This is obviously flawed
80% Philadelphia
70% New York City
65% Chicago
55% Boston
55% Denver

Because Boston is the most Wicked Awsome city in the country for me.

I've recently been to Phily for the first time and I think I would like it more than New York but this ranking is completely out of wack. I've been to all these cities now except for Denver my own ranking would be:

Boston
Philadelphia
Chicago
New York
Denver

Edited on Wed Apr-27-05 03:34 PM by GOPisEvil

Anyone that gets Austin can buy my house from me. Comes with a garden. :D

27. 3 way tie between Chicago, Philly, DC (at 65%)
followed by Atlanta and Honolulu at 60%.

I lived in Philly for years; I liked it, but notice that I also left.

Might have helped a bit if they had separated gardens (which I care a lot about) and zoos (which I don't).

I grew up in New Jersey, which is between NYC and Philly. And I lived for a year in henderson NV, outside Las Vegas.

I've driven through Atlanta, but have never been to Chicago.

34. I took this before. The two area in which I want to live
came up prominently. One was Minneapolis/St. Paul, where I'm from, and the other is another area of MN where I'd like to live now.

50% Austin
50% Chicago
50% Denver

I would never want to live in California. There are some flaws in the quiz. Such as the beach question where the only yes answer involves the ocean. There's these big f-ing lakes in the midwest. They have beaches.

46. I'll keep this in mind if I ever move over there
(Which is most most most unlikely.)

55% Chicago
55% Las Vegas
55% Miami
55% New York City
50% Austin

Am I right in thinking that Chicago and New York get rather chilly in winter? If so we can rule that out totally (for our many faults, we Brits do have an oceanic climate assisted by the Gulf-Stream).
