    London is a great place to visit.

      I can't disagree with your comments in general, but the winters there are brutalm, it's too far from family and doesn't have any other redeeming qualities - outside the exceptional bird hunting - to make it worth it.

        Auburn, CA -
        Born, raised, went to high school, still go back to visit my parents, still the place I'd retire though I increasingly hate the fact that it's in a state controlled by idiot children. Perfect climate, beautiful rivers and rolling hills, 60 minutes from stunning Alpine mountains and ski slopes, only 2 hrs from SF, small town with history. Love it.

        Berkeley CA -
        Still one of my favorite places on earth.

        Szombathely, Hungary - would visit, wouldn't live.
        Budapest, Hungary - love it, would live there again though not permanently.
        Dunaujvaros, Hungary - formerly "Stalin City" would go back for the people and memories and leave quickly.
        Nyiregyhaza, Hungary - can't think of any reason I'd go back since the people I knew there have moved to Budapest.
        Szeged, Hungary - 8 months of my mish, love this city - young energetic university town, going to spend a Sunday there next Month.

        Provo, UT -
        Yes, under the right circumstances I could live there - like if I was leaving regularly. But even if it's easy to knock people for hanging in Provo, the natural setting is amazing and I wouldn't complain about year-round access to Cougar sports.

        Vienna, Austria - yes, with the right budget.
        Oxford, UK - yes, a thousand damn times yes. But again, budget would be key.
        London, UK - if I could live in the home of the family that I was house-sitting for rent-free in S. Kensington, with 4,000 square feet of marble floors about 300 meters from some of the best museums in the world - hells yes. I love London, but it's way too expensive unless you're getting a deal.

        Playa del Rey (Los Angeles) CA -
        Yes, one of the few pockets of LA I really love. I was a stone's throw from water and PdR is cut off from LA's sprawl and doesn't allow any chain stores in its charter. Feels like a small town.

        Wash DC - the Cleveland Park neighborhood where I lived is still one of my favorite places in the world. Also feels like a small town in the big city. In a jog's distance of both Georgetown and American, two subway stops from DuPont, a classic old theater, a post office, a library and some great restaurants.

        East Village, NYC - loved it, still love it, but too fratty for an old man like me at this point and impossible to be there with a family unless you've got big money.

        Long Island City, NYC - perched on the East River, one stop from Grand Central, great water front, cheaper than anything in Manhattan, faster commute to my Midtown meetings than when I was in the East Village, and I actually have a washer/drier. It's actually marginally possible to have a family here in L.I.C.

        San Francisco, CA - like so many other places, with the right budget yes. But way to freaking expensive unless you want to be South SF or elsewhere.
        Ute-ī sunt fīmī differtī

        It can't all be wedding cake.

              Most of you have lived in much more diverse places than I.

              Rock Springs, WY -- no chance, too cold and windy. Truly, Logan and Rexburg have nothing on Rock Springs.
              Rexburg, ID - No
              Provo area - Maybe, but I hate the traffic.
              Logan, UT -- No, too cold
              Davis County -- I currently live here, and am pretty happy, but it's not an ideal place to live
              Mexico City (mission and internship) no way.

              But I'll admit that even when I say no way, I'd still move just about anywhere for a ton of money. Also, with enough money and a good neighborhood, lots of places would be nice.

                My wife's other sister lives in Grass Valley owning/running a horse ranch. Beautiful area; We don't visit as much as we should. She and her husband agree that the state is run by idiot children.

                    1969-1974 My parents returned there a few years ago for a visit and said that everything had gone to crap; and it wasn't all that great 40 years ago.

                      I lived there during a winter, and it's the coldest place I've ever lived by a long shot. I would seriously wrap my head in a scarf so that only my eyes were visible.

                      I've been there several times in the summer and it's unbearably sticky and hot.

                      Outside of that, I love the place. And I love it enough that I would endure the weather.
                      So Russell...what do you love about music? To begin with, everything.

                          Doesn't the high probability of being abducted and probed bother you?
