We all run because we have no money to do anything else! Let us know when you narrow the search. I'm particularly fond the the mid-Atlantic and loved living in Virginia and North Carolina.

And, to follow up on Rob's comment about the schools. It really depends on where you're at. There are a lot of good schools in the area.

I'll be moving to Portland Or. in about 18 months and love it there as well (but IT DOES rain ALOT). I say narrow it down to 3 cities, and make the effort to visit them all, even if for a (long) weekend.

I love it here but you do have to be prepared to have no weather changes at all. Hot, hot and a little cooler in the winter. I was a teacher here in my past life so I can tell you about the districts if you ever want those kinds of details. :>) Good luck deciding!J~Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07414861007306587786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27831734.post-82725377110834387232007-01-03T19:18:00.000-06:002007-01-03T19:18:00.000-06:00I hate moving.

San Francisco - Lovely place. Gorgeous...nice cool weather but uber hilly. The city has a lot of history to it<br /> <br />4. Chicago - I'm a huge advocate as I love it here (although I hated living here my first few months away from home). It's very runner friendly and the running community is very strong...and trains even in bitter cold weather. <br /><br />5. Washington, D.C. - I lived just outside DC in Vienna, VA...it's a great area, but I contantly felt like we were a target for some crap. I still remember the anthrax scare downtown...fun times.<br /><br />7. Boulder, CO. - Breathtakingly beautiful. Lots of hippies around. The foothills are absolutely amazing. Skiddish weather. It has a lot of energy, much of it generating from the Univ. of Colorado campus...so you'll have a bit of a college town feel at times.<br /><br />10. Portland, OR - I've always wanted to live here or in Jackson Hole, WY. <br /><br />13. Philadelphia - I lived just outside Philly on the Jersey side when I was younger...I'm not the biggest fan, but it's definitely a fun town to be in. <br /><br />18. Salt Lake City - Arguably one of the prettiest cities I've been to. I'm a huge fan of mountains, so I loved visiting SLC. Plus they still proudly have all of the olympic stuff around and about...AND if you're a skiier, you're not that far away from Park City. <br /><br />19. Honolulu - Do I really need to extrapolate on this one? It's Hawaii...come on. Although It's super expensive. <br /><br />20. Atlanta - Hotlanta! Great city...but impossible heat a few months out of the year. <br /><br />22. Phoenix - Very hot. I hate not having all four seasons. Unless, of course...I lived in Hawaii...then I could deal with a constant summer. I wasn't all too impressed with Phoenix when I was there for the marathon last year. Definitely bummed me out.Iron Jayhawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17039544452254809248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27831734.post-6744809016790240752007-01-03T12:44:00.000-06:002007-01-03T12:44:00.000-06:00Marry a Canadian, move to Vancouver and run there!...Marry a Canadian, move to Vancouver and run there!Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03602182138078986641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27831734.post-2582145900698061522007-01-03T10:58:00.000-06:002007-01-03T10:58:00.000-06:00Weather would be my number one factor.

My sister lives in the Twin Cities and loves it - great schools supposedly and one of the best cities to live in according to Money magazine.<br />Tom just applied for jobs in D.C. and San Fransisco.<br />I wouldn't pick Chicago unless you really want a big city. I like it here but its not really for me - I miss St. Louis - its smaller, more affordable, and easier to get around and make friends. <br /><br />Good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
