Answer some questions on this site, and it will give you a list of places to live based on your answers. I think it may be just U.S. cities.

My top five were:
1. Minneapolis-St. Paul
2. Columbus, OH
3. Cincinnati, OH
4. Kansas City (well, at least I've already made it to my top five )
5. St. Louis, MO

What about you?

This may help us to determine the best place to put an Orchard Commune.....you know.....if it comes to that.

-

i was hoping for suggestive pictures of birthmarks. curses. foiled again.

OK, that was supposed to be fun, but 4 of my top 10 places were places where my ex-boyfriend and I talked about living when it looked like we'd be living somewhere.

Soooo, Troy, PM me with that spot, eh!

Apparently I'm exactly where I'm suppose to be. Cincinnati was my top spot.
I'm itching to get out of this town though

i'm moving to the right place! i'm moving to the right place!

1. baltimore, md
2. washington, dc
3. san jose, ca
4. oakland, ca
5. portland, or

minneapolis didn't make the list at all! i kept telling people i never really liked it there -- and this quiz validates that! ;-)

I thought I'd find at least a little soft porn or somethin'!

1. Charleston, South Carolina - Cosmopolitan Southern City

3. Hartford Conneticut
4. Baltimore, Maryland
5. New Haven, Conneticut
6. Eugene, Oregon (WTF!!! I HATE Eugene).

well, i've always known that... ya'll.

hey, charleston is bee-u-tee-ful.

Cincinnati was also #1 on my list (even though Philly will always be my preference)

and I too, was not thinking geographical location when I read the topic. And let's be honest, I think Janelle was counting on that.

1. Anchorage, Alaska
2. Olympia, Washington
3. Kent, Washington
4. Ann Arbor Michigan
5. Duluth, Minnesota
6. Grand Rapids, Michigan
10. Cincinnati, OH
15. Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN

I think I like my list--I've enjoyed all the places on it I've visited...

Haha. My top five:

Valencia, CA
Hot Springs Arkansas
Kailua-Kona, HI
Kahului-Wailuku, HI (the Twin Cities of Maui, hehe)

1. Portland, OR
2. Seattle, WA
3. Knoxville, TN
4. Cincinnati, OH

Baton Rouge, Louisiana The Cajun Capital

New Orleans, Louisiana The Crescent City

Chicago, Illinois The Windy City

What the hell??!

How YOU doin'?

revisiting this thread since the job market here has sucked so badly this year. i am seriously considering relocating from my beloved city and that hurts...i'll re-test later today to see if my top cities come out the same...

peace,
zayne

well, bill, it looks like you and i should move in together in little rock...

1.) Little Rock, Arkansas Where America Comes Together
2.) Alexandria, Louisiana The Crossroads of Louisiana
3.) Shreveport-Bossier City, Louisiana Cities of Three Flags
4.) Honolulu, Hawaii America’s Tropical Paradise
5.) Portland, Oregon City of Roses
6.) Las Vegas, Nevada Entertainment Capital of the World

not really sure why vegas showed up on my list, and california was number 7 -- san bernardino, where i spent my first year of college.

i'm excited that hawaii was on my list!

I didn't do this the first time 'round....

1. Portland, OR
2. Little Rock, AR
3. Eugene, OR
4. Honolulu, HI
5. Alexandria, LA
6. San Bernadino, CA
7. Corvallis, OR
8. Salem, OR
9. Las Vegas, NV !?!?!?!?!
10. Baltimore, MD

*laughing* it looks like our lists were very similar! i had eugene and salem and baltimore on mine as well.

Sweet Fancy Moses...

1. Cincinatti, OH - ??? WTF?!? I must still have the Taft show on the brain...

2. Bloomington, IN - you think, since I lived there for 4+ years?

3. St. Louis, MO - ... ok. this one was out of left field, but still kind of makes sense to me. I love the arch, I want to attend St. Louis U., they have a kick ass zoo (good for animal-loving companion), and they have pretty good concerts that roll through there...

Other tops...

Greenville, SC
Hickory, NC
Clarksville, TN - I knew I was destined to rule a town! YES!
Topeka, KA?
Chattanooga, TN
Charleston, SC
Jacksonville, FL
Palm Springs, CA
Athens, GA

I think with the TN, the SC and NC, and the GA... that my trips to the south have rubbed off on me. Good people, though... I guess I still like that whole "Hello, have a nice day" thing as opposed to the good ol' NY greeting: "F*** You!"

My god how I love SC...

Huh.

Fountain Hills, Arizona
Moab, Utah
Page, Arizona
Grand Junction, Colorado
Dillon, Montana
Cedar City, Utah
Sedona, Arizona
Green Valley, Arizona
Salisbury, North Carolina
Murray, Kentucky

8 of my spots were Arizona. Who'da thunk.

Oh, and I just wanted to fix Jessyka's list...

I think my list included Washington State and a few places in Arizona.

not surprised -- having lived in canada for 5 years, washington state still does feel a lot like canada (still).

1) St. Helens, OR "The Riverside Town" actually I have spent alot of time here taking care of my aunt.
2) Astoria, Oregon "Where the Eagles Fly"
3) Kankakee, Illinois The Midwest’s Rising Star
4)Elkhorn, Wisconsin "the Christmas card city"
5) Eagle River, Wisconsin "Snowmobile Capital of the World"

I also had some places on the East Coast and interior Washington state. But this is the top 5.

Chicago, IL

Was #3 on my list.

That's the only one that matters to me

I think the southwest might just be my spot.

1) Las Cruces, NM
2) Las Vegas, NV
3) Henderson, NV
4) San Diego, CA
5) Orange County, CA
6) Honolulu, HI
7) San Clemente, CA
8) El Cajon, CA

Lol.

1 - Seattle, WA
2 - Carlisle, PA
3 - Long Island, NY
4 - Olympia, WA
5 - Portland, OR

Out of the 24 locations, 5 of them were in WA. 4 of those 5 were in the top 10. I live in my top listed city. I wonder if I belong in Seattle because I've been here for all my life and don't want to leave, or if I belong here because I really do belong.

You won't know until you leave for a period of time and experience another locale

1. Harrisburg, PA
2. Albany, NY
3. Ann Arbor, MI (go figure)
4. Duluth, MN
5. Altoona, PA
6. Grand Rapids, MI
7. Rochester, MN
8. Carlisle, PA
9. Portland, MA
10. I forget...

I find it slightly troubling that three of my top nine are in Pennsylvania... what does that mean?

it could mean any number of things....

the least of which could mean you becoming a steelers fan.

it means you're supposed to come and visit me! YAY!

well, i was curious and i took it again (after taking the original test a few months ago)

my top 10:

1.) Cincinnati, OH
2.) Knoxville, TN
3.) Norfolk, VA
4.) Seattle, WA <--- where i currently live
5.) Carlisle, PA
6.) Charlotte, NC
7.) Nashville, TN
8.) Charleston, SC
9.) Louisville, KY
10.) Jacksonville, FL

interesting that 9 of the 10 spots are back east...

My college town made my list! I knew I was where I'm supposed to be...
