1. Charleston, West Virginia
2. Salt Lake City, Utah
3. Jacksonville, Florida
forgot the rest

the first one and the second one are pretty strange, because I thought I made it pretty clear that I want to live by the sea.

and the need to have a university will be restrictive

Lewiston-Auburn area has Bates College which offers bachelors and masters. It's a great town. It used to be run-down lumbering town but lately it has been blooming. Two years ago or so there were some local tension when the feds resettled refugees from Somilia there. I know Mainers, I told people just give them some time - the Maine hospitality will overcome any concerns they had that came from ignorance. Sure enough, now, those refugees are widely embraced as they show that they'll be intergrated into the local economy instead of being useless bums. Naturally, eastern African resturants has been opening up all over.

Camden, I don't know too much other than it's in 'Down East' area which is a very rural area.

Utah is a very beautiful state. I would have no problem living there. The people can be weird sometimes, but you find that anywhere. At least the don't have the crime problems of Las Vegas.

Hmmm Reno? Gag me, please. That goes for Carson City too - I dislike Nevada, period. Hartford - my parents would be so thrilled if I was to move there

Reno is okay, its close to Lake Tahoe

How are the gay, punk, and lefty scenes? What major universities are there? What museums?

we do have a gay scene. We have several gay clubs.

Lefty? well we don't have much of that. But there is an underground movement.

Punk? We have a decent punk scene. I assume you mean punk music and lifestyle. We have several club.

We only have 1 major university which can't compare to older universities in states back east or in California. Sorry.

We don't have much for meseums. Except for entertainer musems like Elvis and Liberace.

#6 Frederick, Maryland Where The Past Comes Alive
#7 Worcester, Massachusetts The Heart of the Commonwealth
#9 Providence, Rhode Island New England’s Best Kept Kept Secret
#12 Boston, Massachusetts America’s Walking City
#14 Cape Cod, Massachusetts Jewel of the New England Coast

Now those places I'd consider it if I had a good job there. Funny, alot of New England towns... but guess being a Maine native has something to do with that.

what's wrong with Nevada?

You're either really religious or really boring. This town sucks rocks.

I'd personally rather live in Boston, if the rent prices weren't so damn high...

Yeah, at least it isn't Las Vegas I'd take Utah over Nevada any day.

ahh Jacksonville. I spent 2 weeks there fixing one of our ships (I was stations on shore at the SIMA in Pascagoula, MS) who was in such bad shape couldn't make it around Florida.

What can I say? I didn't see much of interest. Seems like a typical military town, Florida style of course. I remember on the news they talked about the Jaguars football team. I've never been a fan of the Jaguars.

Our chief had his hotel room broken into and lost his laptop. We moved to a little bit better hotel (one that did not have sliding glass doors). But some of the neighborhoods seemed a little bit seedy. To be expected in a town that size though.

It just seemed boring.

Its pretty much a scam to get personal info on you so they can spam you with targetted ads.

Despite marking only the pacific region, they stuck some east coast towns in my top 6.

I put the wrong address in on purpose. and used a slightly different last name.

[Gangerolf]

According to that site, Jacksonville has 1.1 million people and the mean age is 32. Based on that, it doesn't sound too boring. But you know what they say about statistics and lies...
