Funny you should mention this area, I will be going there w/dh for 3-4 months the first of Nov. Hubby has a job there with his company. He travels for his work.

I like that area. Is built up now, but about 20 yrs ago, they had Walmart, very small, Piggly Wiggly, Winn Dixie and that was about it.
Now they have a Superwalmart, Publix, Lowes, Home Depot ( I think), Sonic (yum!) A & W....all sorts of stores! Really built up!

I do have a nice place to stay when I go to visit there. On a lake, peaceful and just serene....Love it!

If you want to include Territories....get me out of Guam!
Any place where I have to drive in circles daily and end up where I started an hour later, nope, not for me! I want the open roads so I can travel where and when I want.
My perfect place, if there is such a thing would be a farmlet (about 5-10 acres) outside of a nice town where I could have my gardens and just be peaceful with the world. I don't want the hustle and bustle of city life, but if the city life were an hour away, then that's ok...I could drive there to stress-up, then go back to my haven and de-stress.
I want my 4 seasons back too!

I am here reading your answer and thinking that you are describing the town where I live. Did you know I am selling my house? It is perfect for you. eight minutes from everything...hospital, post office, chuch, you name it. 2.5 acress, no neighbors too close and the closest one is a contractor who do repairs and cleans snow, 4 seasons well marked (northern NY, of course) 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, finished basement, 600 acress of nothing around the property, and the worst traffic jam you will ever find may be behind a tractor in the summer, or behind a snow blower in the winter, and all he is doing is clearing the path just for you. Interested?

I wish. Unfortunately I need to move on right now. I love this place and the last thing I want to do is leave (I wish I could leave but hold on to the house, because I do LOVE it) but life gets on the way and don't let you do the things you want.

This is easy, we recently have been searching for a new job, new city etc after 12 yrs of employment and layoff time to start new. I had an instant oh no you cant even GO THERE :
Ohio (sorry buckeyes)
Kansas(that Wiz Of Oz and tornados.. ah no)
Missouri (same as above)..
this said from a Californian who lives on the San Andreas Fault. No accounting for rational at all!

I love southern & southeastern Missouri for touring, but I don't think that I would ever live there.

I would have to list them in order,

l. My home state of Massachusetts
2. Texas, there 's something in the water down there
3. I don't do heat and humidity and snakes and alligators

Best place in the U.S. to live, Maine but I'm prejudiced.

Absolutely beautiful state but.. its sorta REAL cold there. Spent one Christmas holiday there with family and think I could do it shoulder seasons. Went to a Wells Wedding in August.. OMG was it a tad hot and humid.. never would have thought. Of course I lived in AZ where we were lucky enough to have dinner plate sized spiders come into our home and snakes .. no poisonious snakes in Maine right? and scorpians was no biggie. Heat without humidity is much easier to handle.
