[jefhatfield]

in the uk, i really enjoyed bude and clovelly

in the whole world, the south pacific captures my fancy the most, while i would least like to live on the south pole:p

thoughts?

[Abstract]

Didn't we have a similar thread 2 days ago?

In the US, I think I would want to live in Hawaii. :D

I wouldn't mind living in London, or Paris or something, but I'm happy in Canada.

Oh, plus Sweden for its "scenery". ;)

[jrv3034]

I love my hometown of San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Worldwide, I'd have to say Rome, Italy is just awesome.

In the US, it's New York City, baby!

[Mr. Anderson]

I'd just like to have enough money to have a couple homes - Alaska, VA, and some place tropical. :D

Seattle really appeals to me. Where I live now is great (SF bay area), and NYC. not many other places I'd like to live in the US.

For the rest of the world, I love the dingle peninsula in ireland, and London.

[iGav]

As much as I love London....

I'd chew my arm off to move either to San-Francisco or pref Tomales Bay up in the Pt Reyes National Seashore, California, a very, very beautiful part of the world, I can very much imagine running my own studio from there... It's also exactly like the south west coast of england, crappy weather and wind swept landscapes!

I'd also do Seattle, I was struck how cosmo it was, but with a heavy European sophistication and stonking geographical setting, I think Vancouver would be somewhat similar too...

I like New York as a city, although London nails it for nightlife, but NYC has the better winters... ;)

I really need to meet an american girl!! heh-heh!!

Jef you live in one of the most beautiful places on earth don't you?? ;) Sure beats Walthamstow!! :p

Did you get to see Ballinskelligs when you were over in Ireland?

northern california is very nice...many prefer the south end of the state, but overall california is very nice

i hope you meet an american girl, and i hope you still don't think i am a female posing to be a male here at macrumors calling myself jef hatfield instead of juliana hatfield:p

I prefer the cold, the wind, the fog... I'm not much of a sun lover at all...

And the american girl would certainly beat the 90 day visa as a passport to living stateside... :)

The other way would be to grass the whereabouts of Saddam... I think that would also get you into the U.S. to live... with alot of money as well! and possibly a change of identity too!! heh-heh!

Porthtowan in Cornwall is also a cool place, stonking surf...

I quite fancy trying out Sweden, Norway and Finland... nice, cold places... :D

If the CIA or some other 'dodgy' agency don't kill you off quietly first...

...*shock! horror!* The man who gave Saddam to the U.S has been involved in a tragic car accident just before he arrived @ the White House to collect his cheque :eek: :p ;) :D

You live in Walthamstow!! :eek: Haha, just kidding. I've been there once to go to the market. I never went back. :p

And why are people so big on Seattle? You're right that Vancouver is similar in terms of the weather, but Vancouver is the nicest city in the world to live in, while Seattle isn't. I'm sure its nice, but Vancouver is outclasses almost every city. And I'm a person who hates to say stuff like that since I'm from Toronto and da T-dot is #1. However, it seems like most people would choose a place like Seattle because it's in America, and people don't know what to think about Vancouver and Canada. :(

Oh, and I forgot the requisite "eh!?" at the end of my sentence. Oops.

It'd be a scam mate, they'd fake it all and send you off to that desert diner where Elvis hangs! :p

[jefhatfield]

as much as i don't like our current prez, i don't think washington would off you

the government spends much more on other things which they can cut but don't due to kickbacks dems and republicans receive

somehow though, i don't think saddam is alive...but elvis may be:p

my gut feeling also tells me bin laden, jim morrison, and hitler (saw great tv documentary on this) are dead, but there are a few doubts that people raise from time to time...is there solid proof of any of their deaths?

nobody seems to question whether jimi hendrix, jerry garcia, or janis joplin are off somewhere living a quiet lives as ex-hippies:p

[eyelikeart]

There are 2 cities where I'd live other than New Orleans...

San Francisco & Washington DC :D

I could settle for anywhere on the west coast...northern California...

as for out of this country...the Mediterranean... ;)

now that is range, eye..he he

one city conde nast magazine calls the most romantic city in the world and the other is often the murder capitol of the united states

;)

[bousozoku]

In the U.S.A., Philadelphia, New Jersey, or New York City area first or maybe San Fran Bay Area.

Outside of that, any major city on Japan's main island. England, Hungary, and Australia also have appeal.

[MacFan25]

I wouldn't mind living in California or NYC. Maybe Cupertino. ;)

[wdlove]

My preference is still the same as on my dream sheet for the Air Force. I prefer to live in the Northern regions of the US. It's because I like snow and sold weather!

[actripxl]

Well I love Miami, but I Australia would be my next pick, followed by someplace in France or Italy. I grew up in Chicago, but not a real fan of the cold anymore. Lived in the Dominican Rep. and P.R. for a few years but not really estatic about either one though D.R. has some great beaches.

[Gus]

Lincoln, NE. No, er, wait a minute... ;)

I think I would most want to live somewhere, anywhere on the California coast, as long as it wasn't right next to anyone else, and not near a big city. Maybe an hour away from a big city.

Regards,
Gus

[mc68k]

i'd like to live in alaska...nice country at the right time of year

[medea]

well I'm moving to NYC in a year to two, circumstances depending.
later on in life I'd like to move to France.

ha ha...I know...weird?

they both offer things to me that I love...

but I'd likely choose West Coast over East...

[Capt Underpants]

Well right now I live in Texas.... Hot, humid Texas. I would really love to live in Hawaii . However, if I had to live in the continental United States, I would love to live in Colorado. I am pretty much tired of NO snow, where the lowest temp. it gets here in the winter is 30, and where in the summer it gets to 100 degrees. I really don't like the landscape here in Texas. Hawaii would be really nice. 75-95 degrees is the perfect temperature (for me), and I am sure I wouldn't want the snow if it didn't get so hot all of the time.

[Durandal7]

Out of any place in the world I would want to live in Northern Italy along the coastline. As for the US, I'm fine where I am.

[pivo6]

Having visited Montana for the first time last year, I would say there, or San Francisco. If I had the money, I would be living somewhere on the Mediteranean coast.

[shadowfax]

Los Alamos, NM is an amazingly beautiful place, where one doesn't have to sacrifice the advantages of broadband and so on to be out in the beauty of the rocky mountains... forest fires are a problem, though...

that's where my grandparents used to live; it's one of my favorite places. i also liked Bohemia and Bavaria, but my international experience is excruciatingly small, so i think i will abdicate on that vote.

[jadariv]

Having spent my entire life in small town Nebraska (except the years in Lincoln at the university) i really like L.A., can't beat the weather.

I think i will retire to Wisconsin though.

[Squire]

As far as US cities are concerned, I've always like Boston. The Florida Keys would probably be sweet, too. There's a place in British Columbia, Canada, called Osoyoos. I've never been there but, judging by the pictures, a nice shack next to the lake would be nice.

[Roger1]

Iv'e visited Virginia, Vermont, Texas and Oregon. Iv'e lived in Michigan, Illinois, South Carolina and Connecticut.

I must say though, that the only places on the list that I would want to live in are Michigan or Oregon.

Why? Michigan, because the weather is mild, and the state is beautiful.

Oregon? I went there in July 1997, and we went camping in the mountains. It was BEAUTIFUL. I seriously considered moving out here, but my wife didn't want to live in a place that had rain 8 months out of the year. Ah, well. I will have to visit again someday.


edit:clarification

[Sayhey]

I've travelled most of the country and there are a lot of great places. If it is a city - New York and Chicago are exicting places, Miami Beach is beautiful - but the best place I've been is San Francisco. The City (as we locals call it) is a one of a kind jewel.

If it is the country, I love the Rouge River area of Oregon. Parts of Northern Arizonia are also great for a different type of beauty.

Lots of places I'd not like to live. LA is too much like suburbia on steriods for me- not a fan.

[tazo]

favorite: Washington, the whole state is beautiful. But if i had to choose a place it would be like in the middle of a big city, i love the feel of city :) very cool...


least favorite: landlocked, its gotta have some coast, somewhere...

[Zion Grail]

Favorite: Chicago. Liberal stronghold of the US, beautiful skyline, and there is always something existing to do.

2nd Favorite: Seattle. Mild weather and access to some really gorgeous forests.

3rd Favorite: Probably San Francisco.

w00t a seattle lover :)

[vollspacken]

Germany: Hamburg, Muenster (where I live now...)

Europe: of course London (who can afford it...), Barcelona

World: Toronto, Tokio

I haven't been to ireland in a while, but a lot of my family is from there. If you are near Inch (small town in Kerry) and met someone, I'm probably related to them or they know my mom. When I go there I don't see much besides the inside of a pub and the ocean.

[thebossisback]

Next week i am going to a island in the northen peninsula of michigan and it is very beautiful up there. Also in the summer it is much cooler up there

[Roger1]

The weather around here has been in the high 70's -low 80's for most of the summer. Nights have been down into the 50's (brrr!) I live in the Ann Arbor area,and it is really nice around here. Alpena is a georgous place, and (unfortunately) I've only been to da UP one time, for gambling, so I can't say much about it. But I have heard it is even nicer up there. :)

[scem0]

NYC.

Went there on vacation and fell in love.

I think it is a great city, but it lacks 'southern hospitality' which I love too. I just like being in a busy busy place with big buildings where not everything seems as centered on you.

[thebossisback]

I think I would want to stay in the US. If I were rto live anywhere in the US it would probably be san fransico or somewhere in the pacific northwest. I do not like the heat so pheonix wont cut it for me.

Maybe you would like Atlanta, GA scem0. I love to hear a true southern accent also!

[Mike Teezie]
