Where should I move

[TheBigChicken]

I think me and my gal are breaking up...7 years :-/ If that's the case I'm gonna leave FLA for good and I will NEVER come back even to visit friend...anyone have any suggestions....thinking maybe California

[dragonboy]

No idea where you should move to but I'm very sorry to hear about you & your lady friend. 7years? that's got to be tough.

[megisnotreal]

dude, i am sorry to hear this. i hope things work out for you.

[aMD]

yeah, sorry to hear that.  at least you can get the hell out of flordia.  i don't even like to visit that place.  i tell ya, louisville's nice but i don't know what you're into.

[TheBigChicken]

thanks guys...isn't it weird how dogs seem to know when somethings wrong...my little chihuahua is right by my side....he's the best and I know he still loves me ;)

[The DARK]

Sorry, man.  :( SC's great. Great overall vibes, lots of fun people.

Well, I'll tell anyone to move to the "Great White North", but if I lived in the States, I'd move to NYC or Boston... or Chicago.

[aMD]

if i were going to pull up stakes and move anywhere I might consider oregan, colorado, or one of the carolinas, but that's me

Portland is great...but it would be a huge climate change for you.  Some can hang, others go crazy  ;D

If I was to start anew, I would check out Colorado, or Lake Tahoe in Cali.  Still fucking love the bay area too (Santa Cruz, Boulder Creek, Mendocino are all great too...but Cali is expen$ive)....

Sorry to hear about your breakup.... :-[

Sorry to hear man. That's a majot bummer.

I'd look at the midwest as in general it's a little more affordable then either coast. As Dylan said, Louisville is great. So is Cinci, St Louis is alright, Minneapolis/St Paul is good, and Omaha is good too. I love Chicago, but it is fairly expensive to live in.

sorry to hear about your breakup, that stinks :(

If I were going to move anywhere of my chosing I'd probably go to NYC or Chicago.  I like city's with good public transportation systems and lots of stuff to do.  Start saving up some dough though.  it will cost you close to $3000 to get into an apartment in NYC once you pay 1st and last months rent and broker fees, maybe more if you have to pay to get utilities turned on.  Louisville isn't so bad but I find it can be a little boring at times and a lot of bands I like seem to bypass it on the concert route.

Edited to add: Cincy and Covington are pretty cool places and the cost of living isn't too outrageous either.

I moved to the ville last year - I'm diggin it.  If I were to move again (we'll se if I can find a damn job!)  

Vancouver, BC
Denver/Boulder area
Minneapolis, MN

Maybe somewhere in AZ

well, I really love Nashville (although I am being spiritually called to the Black Hills and Plains of South Dakota).

Nashville is a small-big city. We get most of the big time music acts b/c of the music industry, but there's not millions of people eating up the tickets. We have the Titans for NFL and the Predators for NHL (for now, the Preds may leave). Housing is affordable and there's a lot of colleges and universities. You can be in the country in 15 minutes and good hiking is within an hour (Cumberland Plateau and parts further east. The Smokies are about 4 1/2 hours). And the location is great, we're right in the middle of Memphis, Birmingham, Louisville, and the ATL is only an hour beyond those 3. We go to shows all the time in those cities and are able to drive back the same night.

good times!

I hate that Florida gets shat on so easily - it's not as bad as the rest of you think.  I'm as close to a lifetime Floridian as you can get (I grew up in West Palm Beach, lived in Pensacola for 5 years, and now reside in the Tampa area - so I've covered most of the bases) and it is what you make of it.  I loved Pensacola and would move back there in a second if the opportunity presented itself, it's the only major city in Florida that is really in the South and it has a different feel than the rest of the State.

We lived in Atlanta for 3 years and we had a good time there, but I always hated the land-locked feeling and the traffic.  It's funny when you live on the coast and then move away - it does strange shit to your head.  All this being said, the answer to your question is:

Halifax, Nova Scotia.

I recommend Indianapolis...we have a great NFL team, good restaurants, awesome minor league baseball field, hip downtown (and it's safe too), small intimate music clubs and a really affordable cost of living (our current property tax crap aside!).  And we actually have four seasons.

Although, right now even though the calendar says "Fall" it's still summer. Blech.

Sorry about your recent break-up too. That's no fun. A geographical cure is always good.

Hey - Another one reppin the 317 - good to meet you - I moved to Louisville after growing up in Indy - lived there 26 years.  What part of Indy you from?

[GrassyOne]

Yahoo, LizKing!  I love Indy. I live in the Broad Ripple area. It's where the Jacket went out clubbin' after their November show, doncha know. :)

My parents live just north of Louisville, in Sellersburg, Ind. I'm down that way fairly often. I love Louisville.

[MarkW]

Come to the UK.  The Weather's shit, taxes are high, Gas is $9.00 a gallon and the average house costs $400,000 to buy (if you don't want to live in London).

I'll buy you a pint, though...  ;)

lizking was smart enough to move to louisville, though.  ;)

Oh, SNAP, MillionDreams!  I just like to visit Louisville, but my heart lies in Indy.  ;D
