I'll add a couple more... (about Columbus)


dislike: too many rednecks,

Haaa! I always marveled at the 'neck population in Columbus, particularly when I lived in G. Village. For such a young, white collar city, they do have a rather strong presence, but I guess that's what four generations of "readin' ritin' and route 23" will produce.

I'm convinced that 90% of the bad rep that visiting fans give Ohio State is the result of Zeke and Cletus standing across Lane Avenue power drinking for ten hours.

That surprised the life out of me when I moved to Columbus. I never met so many people who loved country music. I met a girl who was shocked I had never gone line dancing and had no desire to.

Likes: I'm one highway from Chicago. I can bask in Cub fan misery. Gino's East and the Chicago Chop House. I live by plenty of riverboat casinos. Despite it being Indiana, no one has a southern accent. The House of Blues, the Metro, the Aragon Ballroom (concert venues). Chicago night life.

Dislikes: I can't see the stars at night. The one highway from Chicago is under construction and it's scheduled for 2 years (5 years, anyone?). Sometimes it takes me 2 hours to get to US Cellular. I live like 20 minutes from one of the worst ghettos in the US, and also twenty minutes from rolling farmland. Illinois drivers. Pollution from steel mills will probably kill me unless the night life gets me first.

Arizona.

Likes- Swimming for longer than anyone in the US. Lots of great golf courses. Pretty cool people. Lots of pretty women. New Cardinals stadium is less than 15 minutes away.

Dislikes- Feels like we're living on the surface of the sun from May-September. Temperature shoots up over 120F a lot. Shitty pro football team. No ELITE CFB teams.

In the past couple of years I have had extended stays in some great cities..

Home - Pittsburgh

Likes - Nice people, PNC Park, has some neat ethinc parts of the city, great airport, several parks, cheap housing, no sales tax on clothes, post-gazette pavillon

Dislikes - Driving (you miss your exit you are screwed), a worthess public transit system, always overcast, lack of job market

Chicago

Likes - The "L", Grant Park, great places to eat, nice people, Every block and neighborhood there is something fun to check out, Several Buckeye fans, always something going on. If you are bored there is someting wrong with you.

Dislikes - Bars I have been to all seem like I am back in college. Have not found that good transition bar yet from the dollar draft to the Martini bar. Overly agressive bums. Staying in the business district everything closes really early.

Scottsdale

Likes - The woman, it is truley amazing. October - April the weather is awsome, golf courses.

Dislikes - Miss the seasons and contstant sunshine gets old. No culture, too spread out, daddies girls everywhere, lack of sports fans

Columbus

Likes - Easy to get around the city, affordable housing, close to family, Football season, great schools, close to a lot of outdoor activites.

Dislikes - Everything is cookie cutter, not a lot of unique places to eat etc, not much to downtown, no transit system (COTA is a joke)

Dayton/Kettering
Good-Kettering is an incredibly well run and well maintained city, w/ an effective, yet non-psychotic/asshole PD. Dayton has a good music scene/nightlife/arts scene for a city it's size. Very pro-Buckeye area. Close to Cincinnati/Columbus. Excellent schools in the south suburbs. Transportation is excellent-MRTA, easy to drive anywhere. Housing market is not ridiculous. Politically friendly environment for me.

Bad-Dayton proper is deteriorating badly outside of a narrow downtown/river strip.
Not the most hopping singles market. Not much ethnic food besides Mexican/Chinese.

Honestly, per square mile I think Scottsdale would have more 9/10 woman then any place I have ever been including L.A,Beverly Hills, etc. I am sure some South America locations would be right up there but wow... Scottsdale was incredible.
