how do you?

[ragtopW]

pick where to relocate?
It looks like a while off, but Mom and Dad are looking for a
Traveling rig and will sell their place. they will be real snowbirds.
I will have time to research and move. I have little reason to stay in Boise. ( aside from a few BNers.)


my list of wants.. in no order.
relative safety..
hunting (I would like a place pretty close)
jobs
sports. Baseball,football,Hockey,Baseball, a team to watch live.
BNers.
arts. (not just concerts but Musicals and Plays too)
four seasons.. I do not mind the snow I hate fog.
Festivals.



any more things to add to the list??
this is a long term deal I really don't think I will
be closing the door on Boise for at least a year.

Thanks.

Chicago!

You've got a whole ton of options, but I think you could have some real fun in rural PA. what it doesn't fill immediately it has other places (NYC - theater) to do that.

[SharkOnLand]

Denver's a pretty good fit for most of those criteria.

Great sports teams (well, except for the Rockies, but if the Nuggets turned it around...)

Colorado has great hunting.

Denver's downtown area has a great arts complex, and they have a few festivals throughout the year.

And from what I've seen, there's quite a few BNers here in Colorado...

I hear there are some Wild Turkey in the area

Sounds like NJ/PA to me. Could be Northern VA, but the cost of living there is atrocious....

[Sam]

Southeast Georgia. Jacksonville,Fla has lots of etertainment to offer and about an hour or less away....

Crime rate in the Denver Metro area is reasonable for large city.
Lots of hunting in the mountains - and not far to get to the high country.
Oh, I know of several call centers here for many other companies, and openings for DIRECTV for other positions in the company. Check the DEN.
Yes. Rockies, Broncos, Avalanche, Nuggets.
Phaw & HS, BB and BG, PT, Bear and MamaBear, FreddyFishsticks, and E & me.
Temple Buell theater and the Performing Arts complex. http://www.denvergov.org/dephome.asp?depid=77
Yep, the four seasons are here. Rarely fog.
MANY festivals too many to mention!

Don't laugh Santa.... Iowa

My little town, Clinton Small town peace and quiet with a lot of big town attributes. Anything is a day trip away

relative safety.. 99.9% of murders (5 since I moved here in 1982 have been domestic disputes not random crime. Litle bit of a meth prob, but that is everywhere.

hunting (I would like a place pretty close) Every morning I see Bald Eagles (not for hunting) about 30 deer countless, pheasants, wild turkeys, doves, partridge, ducks, geese etc.

jobs well, can't win em all. I drive 40 miles to the Quad Cities, car pool baby!!!!!

sports. Baseball,football,Hockey,Baseball, a team to watch live. Clinton Baseball, oldest continuously running team in the Midwest League. Quad City Mallards Hockey and Quad City Steamwheelers Areana@ Football half an hour away. Chicgo 2 1/2

BNers. Me,Mrs, Wino half hour away. Chi-town 2 1/2, Alpine 3 hrs away

arts. (not just concerts but Musicals and Plays too) Clinton Showboat Theater, on an 1880's paddlewheel boat. TimberLake Theater 20 minutes away. (the Dad fromFamily Ties started there) Circa 21 Theater, Figge Museum of Art, Putnam Museum etc all in QC. Chi- 2 1/2 hours away

four seasons.. I do not mind the snow I hate fog. 3 1/2 inches last night

Festivals. Clinton Rivrboat Days, "Iowa's Largest 4th of July Party" Has had everyone from Garth to Ted Nuggent.

I hear there are some Wild Turkey in the area

hehehe
I've actually seen several flocks of wild turkeys in the oddest places around here. Please come here and shoot the huge migration of ducks that have been hanging out since we got rid of all the geese.
You might want to think about North Carolina. If you are near the Raleigh/Durhan area I'd imagine you'd have culture. You can get to the mountains or the beach in less then a day.

[BadHabitsAcctnt]

Get close to Chicago. They have all the major sports teams(althought some of them s*** right now). Plenty of festivals in the summer. A little lake to go out and enjoy the water. Skiing and hunting in a couple different directions. Plenty of jobs to be had. I would say they have just a few cultural things to offer as well. Definitely have all 4 seasons. Also, centrally located in the US where it's easy to get to the rest of the country.

[LIPH]

relative safety..
NYC is the safest large city in the US

hunting (I would like a place pretty close)
it's always tourist season here

jobs
lots of jobs

sports. Baseball,football,Hockey,Baseball, a team to watch live.
Mets, Yankees, Jets, Giants, Rangers, Knicks, Nets, Devils, Islanders on LI and 3 minor league baseball teams in the area (Staten Island Yankees, Brooklyn Cyclones and LI Ducks)

BNers.
there are a few

arts. (not just concerts but Musicals and Plays too)
we have everything, including "gentlemen's" clubs

four seasons.. I do not mind the snow I hate fog.
we get the occassional big snowstorm

Festivals.
there are a lot of street festivals in NYC, mostly during the summer

Drawbacks of living here -
high taxes
sky high cost of living
too crowded
takes forever to get anywhere because the traffic is so bad

On the other hand, Shane is leaving.

Maybe in New Jersey or Upstate NY (Westchester, etc.) Close enough to hunting in Pennsylvania or the Catskills, but close enough to go to "The City."

Okay Wayne...PARIS TENNESSEE!!

We have an extremely low crime rate. That's a big reason on why I moved here!

Hunting...We got your hunting! Deer are abundant. Hubby has property outiside the city limits and there are more processing plants here than anything else (okay, maybe not, BUT THERE ARE A LOT) and you can also hunt duck, and turkey...(Just Ask Hank Jr...yes, he lives here!)

It's not the beach...but it's Kentucky Lake and the Land Between the Lakes is beautiful!

We DO have the Titans...although I stay true to the Jags! Nashville also has a hockey team.

We have a performing arts theater and a great Arts Council and that means we have live shows, art shows and lots of workshops.

We have seasons. Real seasons. So far this year, it's snowed twice. Nothing major but enough to look pretty. Our Summer's can be WARM...98 days are not uncommon. Great for all the wardrobe. I have tank tops and sweaters!

Festivals...only the WORLD'S LARGEST FISH FRY PARADE. Yes, Last Mango WILL have a float again this year!

Speaking of Last Mango...we are the home ot one of the coolest PHC in the World! Right Linda ...and I know where you can get a membership ap!

And the last AND BEST reason to move to Paris ME AND CITCAT!!!! And Des on occasion!

[BadHabitsAcctnt]

What kind of plants are you processing and is that legal in TN?

[jimolliemom]

silly... I meant ANIMALS!!!...or you can skin it yourself in tha backyard!

The Queen and SharkOnLand have covered a lot of the advantages of Denver. I agree with all of those.

... but they left some out.

LDOL: You can attend LDOL and sleep in your own bed every night.

Walking / running: Parks, miles of trails and places for Santa to run every December.

Beer: One of the Drydock owners told me that Colorado has 100 licensed breweries. Many of them are listed on Beer Advocate.

Great American Beer Festival September 28-30 this year.

[jimolliemom]

Now how am I supposed to compete with Beer?????

Okay, how's this...I have 2 blenders and an extra refrigerator in the basement and they are FULL!! (it's not much, but it's all I got!)

Did I mention I have a picture of Cap't Tony grabbing my boob?? Ask OPH...he's seen the picture!
