If you had the money, where would you live in the US?
Guess I would go back to where I was born, Alpena, Michigan.

1. It might be fun to live in NYC for a while.
But I love Asheville, NC with all my heart.

2. NYC, Seattle, maybe San Fransisco...
One of those. I want to live in the middle of Manhattan, over by Central Park. When I visited a while back, I loved getting up in the morning, getting a coffee, and just walking. It was great. Ahhh...good times.

3. Hrm....
If I had the money, maybe California... someplace with not too much traffic, and lots of rocks to climb, and nearish to the beach. Second to that, somewhere in New England, closer to the water than I am now! There's this nice little road that runs along a small beach in Rhode Island where I'd love to be, and watch the ocean from my upstairs windows... :)

8. The reason I selected Alpena
I was born there, it is a small town and just gorgeous, many many trees. They do receive a lot of snow, but the summers there are unbelievable.

10. You would be my second choice
I lived in Chicago, but only would want a high rise overlooking Lake Michigan. Let's say I would need to live on Lake Shore Drive or a high rise overlooking the city. Now that is beauty.

6. California..near San Fran/Napa Valley
I was there on vacation once and I LOVED California. Instead, I'm stuck here in the midwest and probably always will be. I've dreamed of living somewhere else for a long time. I guess its not soo bad here, but it would be nice to try living somewhere else for a change.

16. Beautiful BLUE cities with almost perfect
weather (it does rain more in Seattle than it does in St Louis). I would have to get used to hills though and I don't like hills. If I could afford to live in either of those places I'd force myself to get used to hills.

14. Right where I am!
My little beach town is beautiful, the beach is about 10 minutes away, and I have good neighbors (for the most part), good air and good shopping. It's perfect for me!

34. Arlington has some great restaurants
The people are really nice and its very multi-cultural.

Since the Pentagon is in Arlington, my commute was just 20 mins.

The during whole time I lived there the Beltway was never a problem

29. Right here, where the Connecticut River
meets Long Island Sound.

The only way I'll ever leave this town is feet-first. It's home.
