Queen City, here I come!

[PopeDirkBenedict]

This website (http://www.findyourspot.com/Default.asp) asks you a bunch of questions and then tells you the cities that best fit your lifestyle. Here are the top 10 cities that have molded themselves in a way that apparently best pleases me. Now if only Cincy had a pro baseball team (I keed, I keed).

1. Cincy
2. St. Louis
3. Omaha
4. Indianapolis
5. Sioux Falls, SD
6. Fargo
7. Bismarck
8. Wichita
9. Evansville, IN
10. Springfield, Mo.

I will now light myself on fire. I should have known not to play up my love of winters.

1. Denver
2. Anchorage (hello, jobs board!)
3. Minneapolis/St. Paul
4. Salt Lake City
5. Flagstaff
6. Boulder
7. Duluth
8. Great Falls, Mt.
9. Ogden, Utah
10. Rochester, Minn.

Other highlights: 12. Fargo; 21. Cleveland; 23. Detroit

So my place of birth is 23rd, hometown is 21st. Places I'd never live? 1-21, 22, and 24.

 

[pallister]

Mine are all smaller communities in the South, with the exception of Walla, Walla, Washington, some place in Indiana, and for some unexplicable reason, Atlantic City. Of the 24, half are in Tennessee.

 

[Smokey33]

My top spot is Hot Springs, Ark.

No. 4 is Kankakee, Ill. Ick...Kankakee. I even checked the box that I didn't want to live on flat land.

 

[MU_was_not_so_hard]

Apparently, I put somewhere that I absolutely have to have fresh cheese.
Seven of my top 10 were in Wisconsin.

 

[Firstime Caller]

Wow, surprisingly accurate - mentioned a lot of cities I've considered. Strangely though mentioned a lot of smaller cities/towns from my home state, which I'm not particularly interested in living in.

 

[Flying Headbutt]

Chesapeake/Virginia Beach, Va was my top choice. Funny, since I used to live there once upon a long time ago.

2. Norfolk (is there that big a difference?)
3. Charlotte
4. Phoenix
5. Charleston, SC
6. Tampa (I can dig that!)
7. Houston (absolutely, especially with family)
8. Orlando (absolutely)
9. West Palm Beach (I'm picking up a pattern)
10. Tucscon

Other cities in my top 24 included Austin and San Antonio, which is where I was born. Jacksonville and Dallas also made my list and I'd move there in a second. Hampton, which again I thought was similar to my top two choices made the list, as did Augusta, which would never let me become a member at their grip it and rip it course. And to echo first time, this site also listed a lot of cities I am or would be quite interested in moving to.

 

[Dessens71]

I should apparently move to ****town, N.C. Who knew?

 

[steveu]

Nashville was tops for me. Wow.
Following that were:
Lexington
Knoxville
Cincinnati
Columbus
Louisville
St. Louis
Kansas City
Oklahoma City
Omaha

Not too shabby. Guess I better see if The Tennessean is hiring.

Here's my Dirty Dozen...
Carlisle, PA. Had to pass through there on the way to college.
Long Island
Al Toon-er
Albany
Seattle (going on vaca there in 2 weeks so I'll keep this list in mind)
Manchester, NH (certainly could handle it)
Harrisburg (see Carlisle)
Reading, PA
Nashua, NH
Denver
Portland, ME
The 'Cuse

Other highlights included the Amish checking in at 13 that would be a sight. Knoxville edging out Lewiston, ME, for 17th. 19 was NYC while 21 was Manhattan, could never live down there. SLC 23rd and Plymouth, NH rounded out the top 24.

No Mass. cities at all and I am the quintessential Masshole.

 

[Ronnie "Z-Man" Barzell]

Hartford
Worcester
Providence
Portland, OR
New Haven
Milwaukee
Boston
Chicago
Sheboygan, WI

[soccer dad]

LA
Honolulu
San Diego

Little Rock
Baltimore

New Haven

 

[Freelance Hack]

OK, the former Chamber spokesman in me is calling bull**** on this survey.

Hartford's population is 850,000? That better be metropolitan?
Providence is 1.2 million?
New Haven has 542,000?

And Louisville has only 248,000? Don't think so.

It looks like they're taking metropolitan (or regional) populations for some cities (i.e. they list Boston at 3.4 million -- when the actual city has just a population of 550-600K -- and 3.4 seems very low for the metro pop.) and just city populations for Louisville (which BTW is outdated).

Maybe I'm taking this survey a tad bit too seriously, but take your results with a huge grain of salt.

 

[Twoback]

Who knew you were so dull, Pope?

 

[Twoback]

Wow, surprisingly accurate - mentioned a lot of cities I've considered. Strangely though mentioned a lot of smaller cities/towns from my home state, which I'm not particularly interested in living in.

I had the same experience. The emphasis on Virginia surprised me, but some of my top choices are in the top 10 here:

Norfolk
Charlotte
Chesapeake-Virginia Beach
Long Island
St. Louis
New York City
Cincinnati
El Paso
Philadelphia
Kansas City

 

[Montezuma's Revenge]

El Paso must be helping fund this survey. Seems to turn up a lot.

1. Charleston, SC.
2. Oklahoma City
3. El Paso
4. Tampa
5. Orlando
6. Houston
7. Dallas
8. Louisville
9. Fort Worth
10. Nashville

 

[35in44]

1. Oakland (huh??)
2. Baltimore
Providence
Washington, D.C.
Portland, Ore.
San Francisco
San Jose
San Diego

 

[slappy4428]

I didnt have a city north of Evansville/Louisville.
While I did like the idea of Chattanooga and Nashville, Houston, OKC and Enid bothered me...

 

[Almost_Famous]

Weird results here:

1 Norfolk
2 NYC
3 OKlahoma City
4 Louisville
5 Chesapeake-VA Beach
6 Charlotte
7 Long Island
8 Nashville
9 El Paso
10 Seattle

Only ones on this list i'd consider are NYC and Seattle; though Charlotte is a cool city (Louisville is a fun town, not sure about living there)

 

[Kid Presentable]

Vegas, baby ;D ;D ;D
