    I haven't been to Santa Cruz since 1998, but even then it was still a place where old hippies go to die....

    Hmm....when I was stationed about 40 minutes away, Surf Dog was actually an old hippy cooking hot dogs over a hibachi:

    Let's limit this to places with metro areas of ~2 million or more. I want the option of picking up girls on weeknights. I'm also a bit of a food guy and like having top notch cuisine around. I like having major league baseball in town.

    So let's talk about stuff in the top 50 or so on this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_o...tistical_Areas

    If I had to pick between ocean and mountains I'd take ocean. Or even big lake. I'm not a big boater or skiier but I am a big seafooder. Alaska pretty much ruined midwestern seafood for me. If you hate people but love seafood and views, AK is paradise. Until its dark for half the year.

    Given your criteria:

    San Diego.

    Hands Down.

    If you count the Padres as major league.

    Oh the Padres count. The best zoo in the country sounds nice too, and I have some shreds of family there. San Diego has earned a few resumes, good tip.

    He makes a compelling argument. Or Raleigh for its tech, but Raleigh doesn't have the college girls.

    Parts of California are amazing....just a perfect environment.....but then you add the people and the taxes and things go downhill. I love Maui and the Big Island....there are a few spots on Oahu I could live. The "Island Fever" thing is overblown bullshit....big old Jet Airplanes leave all the fucking time. Hang loose baby.

    My wife and I go every year for a month or so....I love Waimea. Kona is pretty damn nice....I love Hilo/ North Hilo. I bought 5 acres land (Jungle/Lava) in Puna back in my stoner days for $2000. Rain, rain and more rain.....lol. I have never done anything with it other than plant some trees and such. We'll start to spend more time there in the winter in the next few years........
