I've used that site a lot over the past few weeks. I find it to be somewhat helpful, but, for example, my Dad has to relocate to the Mid-Atlantic for his job. So I put that I'm looking for Mid-Atlantic/NE, yet I still get the majority of my results for places like Oregon, Arkansas, Florida, Texas, etc. It's useful, to a degree, but I take it with a grain of salt.

The thing doesn't seem to like Wisconsin.

Almost all of my top 24 were in the Upper Midwest/Great Lakes area, and yet only 3 were in Wisconsin, including #23 and #24. #24 was Milwaukee---where I actually live---and I like it just fine.

Top ones were (1) Twin cities, (2) Cincy, (3) Grand Rapids, (4) Duluth, (5) Ann Arbor, and (6) Cleveland :shock: .

I agree that it doesn't like Wisconsin. Not one place from Wisconsin, most of mine where in Minnesota, North Dakota and Michigan!

Here’s what The Spot said is my top 14. What’s interesting is they put Oklahoma City on there and I live in Tulsa for a year about 15 years ago and I did not like Oklahoma. Two cities on the list that I’ve been to and like are Augusta, GA and Nashville, TN. Orlando is too touristy for me and my wife and not enough variety of life. I’ve been to Texas a couple times and MIGHT consider it someday, but not likely. Two things it doesn’t factor are living by family and jobs and they are important. It still is interesting to see what places it thinks you’d like to live.

1 Charleston, SC
2 Jacksonville, FL
3 Orlando, FL
4 Augusta, GA
5 Phoenix, AZ
6 Oklahoma City, OK
7 West Palm Beach, FL
8 Houston, TX
9 Tampa, FL
10 Nashville, TN
11 Memphis, TN
12 Fort Worth, TX
13 Tucson, AZ
14 Austin, TX

[HarveyWallbangers]

Charleston and Nashville are two of my favorite U.S. cities. If I ranked my own top 10, they would both be on it.

[Freak Out]

My list is loaded with Oregon and New Mexico a little Nevada and Arkansas...and my current home Anchorage is on the list. I wonder why the average home price in Gardnerville - Minden Nevada is $380,000? Yowza!

California and Tahoe thats why!

I was curious about the quiz too and answered all the questions.......up until they wanted my name, address, contact info, etc.

Why can't companies just provide the info without putting people in some database or building a mailing list? If people are interested they can elect to provide their personal info. I usually don't respond to these things for this very reason - you don't get the payoff UNLESS you provide your personal info.

I thought the survey was well done, but I get enough spam and junk mail already.

BTW, the education preference statement was funny, "I prefer progressive education to back-to-basics curricula."

I'll translate, "When it comes to your children's education, self-esteem, sex ed, and a multi-cultural curricula is more important to you than than English, Math, and Science."

I put in a fake name (Horatio Bagadoosh) and the address for Milwaukee County Stadium. It works just fine with that. :wink:

[HarveyWallbangers]

I put in fake information (including a bogus email address). I was still able to get the results.

See, why didn't I think of that? I'll never break into the upper echelons of PackerRats. Some are leaders and some are followers. :)

It doesn't even read the information seriously. I put in numbers for my name and email and it accepted it.

Camden, Maine
Branson, Missouri
Easton, Pennsylvania
Saugatuck, Michigan
Lewiston, Maine
Peterborough, New Hampshire

[MJZiggy]

Something tells me you didn't put in a preference for big cities...

Yeah, I'm definitely a small town kind of guy. Traverse City, Michigan looks nice.

[Little Whiskey]

Camden, Maine
Branson, Missouri
Easton, Pennsylvania
Saugatuck, Michigan
Lewiston, Maine
Peterborough, New Hampshire

traverse is nice, but very pricy it's a vacation home spot. Saugatuck is better known as sausage-tuck....they have more "alternative-lifestyle" folks than Frisco. (per capita) just thought i'd let you know before you start paking your bags.

Don't worry, those cities were just my results, I highly doubt I will move out of the state. I do really like the Door County area.
