Providence, RI. I think the quiz is inherently flawed tho, Little Rock made my list somehow, and I'd sooner amputate my arm with a pocket knife than live in Arkansas.

OMG HI FUTURE NEIGHBOR!

I would have to agree - while Providence came in first and looks ok, my 2nd and 3rd picks were Eugene and Corvallis, OR - and after living in Eugene for 2 years back in my college days, I can honestly suck yuck, fuck that!

Ok how eery, I just did this and it came up with my home town in Arkansas as number one, I nearly fell out of my chair, apparently my entire quota of living matched the town perfect, but they didn't have the "no redneck" option so *shrug*

Danbury, CT - /shrug

Providence made #6 on my list - little surprise there, as I grew up in the next town over. Providence, btw, has turned into a really nice small city - it doesnt surprise me in the least that it made so many people's lists.

I scored lots of Wisconsin hits, New England hits, Oregon hits, and even the odd one in New Mexico and Nevada. I guess I am not that fussy, heh

Not suprising, every place but one listed is within 4 hours. I knew I lived in the right place for me.

Cincinnati, Ohio The Queen City
This big Ohio city with the small-town feel is home to baseball's first professional team: the Reds started in 1869…

Population: 1,650,000 | Average Home Price: $150,000 | Precipitation: 39" | Snow: 19"


.......
Lived in a bunch of different spots, when I could move anywhere, I chose to come back to Cinci.

Granted family was part of it, but it wasn't number one on the list they gave me either. It was like #7....suprisingly enough a lot of the cities listed I have visited....and they were pretty accurate regarding my tastes.

Like #4 Chattanooga, I could definately see myself spending some time there. I lived 2 hours from there when I was in Atlanta, but I always drove through it, even spent a couple days there white water rafting and such, I liked the area.

Preparing myself for the shitload of spam mail I will be receiving because of this. Would be cool if you could pick the city and see what they have to offer instead of doing this big quiz thing first.

Hmmm... I noticed that Newfoundland never came up once in anyones answers... WTF!!!

There should be a question:

I drink more than 24 Canadian beer in one sitting:

All the time / When I am broke / Neutral / No Way / Are you Nuts!

If you answer 'All the time" you automatically get newfoundland!

Also...you need to get a mail account just for junk mail...

Open up a hotmail acct or like yahoo or something free, and give it to anyone who asks for your e-mail that you aren't wanting contact from.

CA was the best state I ever left, what a pile. More rude assholes than I've seen anywhere else, including NYC and Boston. The cost of living is ridiculous, and the public education system sucks ass. I was so happy when my 18 months of puragatory there ended.

Anyway, it popped up two locations in semi-rural FL, one each in coastal GA, SC and TX as choices. I've lived in all but TX and was perfectly happy :)

*Edit - Top choice was ~50 miles north of where I live now, number 2 was straight across the state on the East coast. Maybe 80 miles away.

I like it where I am now too, ~25 miles SE of Tampa, though Charleston SC was probably my favorite place I've ever lived.
