I may be relocating and was wondering "Where would you go?", If you could relocate to anywhere in the US what state would it be? I've only lived in the Northeast, I've traveled around the country and I'm curious to hear what everybody thinks.

Thanks,
Ed

Ed,
That's to easy..... You ride a scooter, move somewhere it's warmer longer during the year (but still has all four seasons), it has mountains and twisties to ride on, and yearly rain is average to minimal. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] When you find out where that place is let us all know.

Ed,  If I still had to work, but wanted a decent climate, Oregon would be in my top 3.  Other choices would be Southern Colorado, Northern New Mexico, or the Southeastern US (Northern half of AL, Tenn from Nashville east, Western NC, or North Georgia)  Forget about Florida (no offense guys from FL) unless it's the Panhandle.  Atlanta is just too damn big for my tastes.  Nashville is very nice and large enough, but not too large.  Birmingham is a great place to live too...once people come here, they don't leave.  Asheville, NC is beautiful and eclectic in it's demographics.

From Eugene to Portland Oregon is probably one of most beautiful places I've ever seen...great coastline, mountains, etc, all within 50 miles.

If you don't mind some hot weather in July/August, come on down here...4 hours from the mountains, and four hours from the beach. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

DooD, you just described California...(well except for the season thing)

San Diego has the best all around weather I have experienced.

I've heard the weather is really nice in San Diego (my son lives there) but what about seasons and a variety of temps?  [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

I have to put my 2 cents in;
These areas have all left great impressions on me, in fact at one time or another, after visiting all of these areas, I told my wife we would eventually move to all of these.
1. Durango, CO
2. Ashville, NC
3. Franklin, TN
4. Greenville, SC
5. Sedona, AZ

Other choices would be Southern Colorado, Northern New Mexico,...

Ditto that.  Anywhere from Taos to Durango would suit me fine.  Check out Red River, Cimarron, and Las Vegas (NM, not NV) while you're at it.  And swing over to Cortez, CO to the west and Walsenberg, CO to the east.  Still gets cold in the winter, though.

...or the Southeastern US (Northern half of AL, Tenn from Nashville east, Western NC, or North Georgia)

Can't go wrong with any of that.  A caveat:  Atlanta's sprawl is rapidly making what used to the N. GA mountains into bedroom communities--be ready for more traffic and development than maybe you think.  People commute to the northern suburbs from Dahlonega, Jasper, and Elijay.  And better hurry about Western NC.  It's being bought up fast by folks fleeing Florida.

Yep, that's right, forget what I said earlier.

Yea, I was about to tell you the same thing I told TC.  Especially (IMO) Franklin, TN.

NOW HEAR THIS:  FRANKLIN, TENNESSEE IS NOT A GOOD PLACE TO LIVE.

I'm looking to move to the Ellijay area. I love it up there. Maybe not in the town but in that area.

Uh...yea Ed...don't you know that everyone down here lives in a trailer park, wears wife beater shirts, dips snuff (the women too), and has a total of 10 teeth per family of four?  Don't you ever watch the news after a tornado has come through...that's what we're all like.  That's the ticket....oh, and I forgot to tell you that everyone here has a German Shephard and a fire hose...and we wear pointy hats....

If you are ever in Austin Texas, go 75 miles west and check out the area around Fredericksberg, Texas.  Beautiful scenry and country roads, long riding season, but it does get hot in July and August.  If you are still working, you could work/live in Austin and start working on a place to retire near Fredericksberg.
