Where would you like to be?
(OP)
If you had nothing tying you down and could move anywhere in the United States to work, where do you think you would like to live/work?
I've seen some lists of the "Top 10 Places to Live in America" and things of that nature, but I wanted to see some opinions from people actually living in various areas across the country/world.

Working each day on the beach (East or West coast), handing out towels and making sure the cabana chairs and umbrellas are all out and ready for use. The person that I saw having this job would show up promptly at 8 AM with coffee in tow and a paper every day. After spending about 15 minutes setting up, he sat in a cool tent and made sure the beach customers were set. My gosh, talk about the scenery day in and day out in handing out towels. This guy was in his 50's, tanned, had no stress from work and enjoyed BS'ing with the hotel guests each day. He was done by 3 PM.

In my travels, I have seen many beautiful areas…..West Virginia, Tennessee, Colorado just to name a few but I think Marin would win out.

Just saw your post (while I was wasting valuable company time and not doing my job).
Sausalito is nice but really crowded with busloads of tourists in summer. That's probably the major complaint I hear from prople who live there. If you like it cool, it's the place to be. It can be 20-25 degrees (Fahrenheit) cooler than central Marin (Novato or San Rafael.)
And if you lived there, you could watch me dance tonight at the San Rafael Farmer's Market! and on July 23rd, at the Scottish Rite Temple in Oakland.
I went home at lunch to put on my performance make-up for tonight because I have only 20 minutes to run home at the end of the day to change into costume....been taking grief all afternoon at the office.

RE: Where would you like to be?
I would have to agree with you on that one......the SF bay area and north bay is loaded with tourists in the summer months. I'd much rather live in Piedmont and work in Berkeley.

Berlin is a great place, but a little harsh in the winter. Knoxij did say US, but if we're expanding to the rest of the world:
Barcelona Spain, Cassis France, Brisbane Australia, and Perth Australia, all places that when I left I thought, wow that would be a great place to live.
RE: Where would you like to be?
If I had to pick a place to live it would be Moab, UT in the spring/summer and Tellico Plains, TN/Murphy, NC in the fall/winter and just wheel year round! ;)

I guess I'm just glad to have my family and friends, so anywhere they are if fine by me. I don't mind being tied down, as long as I still get to do some travelling to see all those wonderful places. I'll have to add some from this thread to my list of places to visit.
Of the places I have been:
One place I love to visit is Crater Lake, Oregon. It is BEAUTIFUL, and so peaceful. Other favorites are a view of Salt Lake from the moutains in Utah, the rural areas of France, view of the mountains from the plains in Colorado, and DC when the cherry trees are blooming.

One of the Hawaiian islands. We had our honeymoon there last year.
The far north-west of Scotland. Torridon; Knoydart; Letterewe: you can trek for days and never see another human. Stunningly beautiful in winter.
Newcastle-on-Tyne. To a Geordie boy, everywhere else you live is just somewhere you're visiting on your way back home.

Germany is nice, too.
In the US, paradise seems to be in the High Desert Country.
RE: Where would you like to be?
The Auvergne or Park Morvan regions of France take some beating as do the food and wine.
And Newcastle on Tyne. Yes. Perhaps one of the greatest phoenix from the flame stories in the UK. What a place.

In the morning
No one could be sweeter than my sweetie when I meet her
In the morning
Where the morning glories twine around the door
Whispering pretty stories I long to hear once more
Strolling with my girlie where the dew is pearly early
In the morning
Butterflies all flutter up and kiss each little buttercup
at dawning
If I had Aladdin's lamp for only a day
I'd make a wish and here's what I'd say
Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina
In the morning!

What brought you up to Geordieland?
I'm marooned in Teesside, living among the Smogmonsters*, but it sure beats living in London. Just waiting for a power plant to be built within commuting distance of Newcastle and I'm outta here!
* There is a huge rivalry between the inhabitants of the City of Newcastle and the two towns of Sunderland and Middlesbrough. Geordies from Newcastle, Makems from Sunderland, and Smoggies from Middlesbrough. In case anyone was wondering!

ScottyUK - I came from and lived in yorkshire more than 20 years ago, my girfriend at the time got a job in Newcastle and I visited often. More recently I'm living in the South West but often travel to visit companies doing work for our stations in either Gateshead or Sunderland. Always stay on the Quayside when |I can and have even been for weekend breaks there. Very friendly people, always up for a party, and I love the accent.

Barstow is'nt too bad a town and some of the residents are incredible.....I believe that's where ALF lived with Willie and Kate.
RE: Where would you like to be?
...and it's on the way to Las Vegas, yes indeed...
...and it's where Route 66 Starts/Ends and there's even a "Route 66" Museum!
RE: Where would you like to be?
RE: Where would you like to be?
It's because the song about getting one's kicks on Route 66 mentions Barstow by name that they have a museum.
RE: Where would you like to be?
Does anyone remember the TV show "Route 66" with Martin Milner, George Maharis and Glenn Corbett? And that fantastic Corvette('58 I believe). Years later I drove the whole thing from Chicago to L.A. but cheaated a little on the Interstate because of road repairs.

There is a similar situation on the Severn crossing into Wales. Enter England for free, pay to get out. You figure it out...

No! Say it isn't so! We all think that Memphis, TN has the worst crime, the worst drivers, and the most corrupt politicians.
