The CSRA (Evans, Augusta, North Augusta, Aiken). 2.5 hours to the beach, 2.5 hours to the mountains, 2 hours to saltwater, 2 hours to Atlanta, Charlotte, Greenville, Savannah, and one hour to Columbia. Low cost of living and good weather. If I want a zoo, I head to the woods. If I really want a zoo, they have one in Columbia. We have the 2nd largest man-made lake this side of the Mississippi 15 miles up the Savannah. If that's not enough, we have two more damned up lakes (Hartwell, Russell) right up above that.

Oh, and we have a little golf tournament here.

Do they have water in those lakes this year ?? :fuelfire: :fuelfire: :-)

Hell yeah. The lakes haven't been low for several years now.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

Let's see Mass, New Hampshire, Maryland and Maine. I love Northern NH(White Mountains National Forest area) and Portmouth/Seacoast area. Mass is boring, though Boston area is ok....Maryland, you couldn't pay me to live there........ and Maine, I like Maine even though some of the people aren't that (ahem) intelligent. :-)

Aside from some years at Keesler, I never really "lived' there, but my Grandparents did, and because of family issues, I was there every summer and most breaks.  It was pretty much a s-hole growing up there in the 80's, but it was better than it became after the casinos.  I have idyllic fond memories of Gulfport, and the whole MGC, and always will, even though I don't have a place to go there anymore.  Katrina got what Camille didn't. 

I am sure your brother has been to Anjacs, but if he hasn't, you tell him to get on over there!  And Lil Roy's, and Mc Elroy's too!

SE Michigan - a sucking chest wound. There is NOTHING there that is worthy of much, except to seal off the wound and start CPR if you're stuck there longer than 20 minutes.

Chicagoland - too expensive, too busy, too much traffic, and WAAAAAAAY too many freakin' toll roads. Jesus Christ, people, you think you're in New Yawk or someplace? But the music scene is incredible and the CSO is awe-inspiring.

Jackson, TN - didn't know how good it was there till I left. Low cost of living, no state income tax, and they come right up to your doorstep to take away your trash. What's not to love? Mrs E and I are heading back there for final retirement.

Salt Lake City, Utah - incredible, gorgeous, beautiful place. But it was the most foreign country I've ever lived in, and I've lived in or been in just about every country on the continent of Europe and a few in northern Africa.

Mentor, OH (east of Cleveland on Lake Drearie) - WTF did I do to deserve 7 FEET of snow per year? Huh? Tell me!!!

north-central Missouri - I'm the guy in town that doesn't drive a pickup. Want a salad around here that isn't wilted and consists of something besides iceberg lettuce, a couple of gratings of unpeeled carrot, and a cherry tomato with sprouting seeds? Fuggedaboudit. Make your own.
