girlygirl18t Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 I got a new job and I might have to move to one of the following cities. I'm going to try to stay in Columbus if I can. That may not be an option so here is the list of potential choices. St. Louis, MO Columbus, OH Richmond, VA Indianapolis, IN Buffalo, NY Greensboro, NC Louisville, KY Orlando, FL Ft. Lauderdale, FL So if anyone has lived/visited any of these places. Input would be helpfull. Thanks Meg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam1647545489 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Columbus, so you and me can make out at the drive-in.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash1647545504 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Iv been to all of those cities atleast 3 times for a period of 4 days each city, I liked St. Louis the best just because of its general enviroment. Indianapolis has alot of industrial so its prety poluted, and i liked Buffalo becase i like snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Originally posted by Ben1: St. Louis the best just because of its general enviroment.Incorrect. Perhaps the outlying areas, but lets not forget that a couple years ago it led the nation in violent crime. Though unseated, I know its still up there on the list. On top of that it has the worst drainage of any city I have ever driven in. I've been through alot of cities, and no where else have I found a foot of standing water on the highways. Summer is hotter and more humid then here, floods are problematic, and crime is a consideration. You can find nice places, but they're off in the boonies, like St Charles.

Dr. Pomade Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 I lived in Indianapolis for several years. It is very comparable to Columbus in a number of ways - population, cost of living, geographic size, layout, crime rates, and demographics. However, here are some differences, based on my opinion: -Indy is a much more conservative, Republican city. -Indy is, for some reason, much colder during the winter. I have a hard time explaining that, but that's just the way it was for me. -Indy probably has more sports attractions: they have the Colts and the Pacers, as well as the Indianapolis 500, which is one of the greatest sports spectacles on Earth. I could probably give you more, but I'm not sure what else you're looking for. Overall, I really like Indy, probably because I really like Columbus.

zeitgeist57 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 I am partial to Richmond b/c of my ex living there. It really is a beautiful city. Excellent year-round weather (never a ton of snow, only down to 30s-40s lowest in the winter, summers are warm but not too hot). Beautiful historic district (The Fan) and you're 2 hours away from the beach. That, or NC. I also have a buddy at GE in Wilmington and he goes on and on about the great, young atmosphere (read: tons of hot chicks and great nightlife. I'm sure there are a lot of guys good for the ladies too!). Plus, The Carolinas have been booming in the last few years economically speaking. I would seriously advise you to think about the economy of where you will be living. Columbus is actually a great city that is getting stronger by the year. Look to the Mid-Atlantic states or out West. graemlins/thumb.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiG BeN Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 i spent some time in louisville, i liked it there. about the only thing good about indy is the speedway, and it's really easy to get around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlygirl18t Posted February 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Thanks everybody:) I hate snow and I have a motorcycle, so the warmer the better. My family, boyfriend, and friends are here. But they can visit:) I would love to live in Ft. Lauderdale, but it is soo expensive. Plus I would be in the home maybe two days a week at the most. $750 for a one bedroom is a little silly for only being home 8-10 days a month.

But greensboro sucks, all the fucking marines thinks they are gods gift to humanity. Not disrespect to any marines on here just alot of the ones i experienced there.

1Quik7 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Florida i love it down here, i agree the Lauderdale area is kinda pricey, but the Orlando area isn't bad at all. the weather and the palm trees are worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old dirty bastard Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 St. Louis, MO (never been there) Columbus, OH (Home of Turbo Donkey racing) Richmond, VA (home of Marlboro and thats about it) Indianapolis, IN (sucks unless something is happening at the track) Buffalo, NY (Snow = the suck) Greensboro, NC (you could buy Dave a endless amount of flannels and other hillbilly apparel living there) Louisville, KY(Nice car scene down there but police drive unmarked F-bodys hard to see on the freeway) Orlando, FL (A large rat lives there weather is good thou) Ft. Lauderdale, FL (the best location on this list and would def. get my vote) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryBMW Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Anywhere but here tongue.gif Seriously though, Orlando is fun. -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GSRchick714 Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 I would pick Florida for sure! I've only been to Orlando and Indianapolis..and a little south of Ft. Lauderdale. Indianapolis is quite similar to Columbus...I've been there a ton and its not very exciting really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboII7 Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 No contest there I would live in Ft Lauderdale, it is so far south in florida it never gets close to cold, it's like 10 min to Miami but not nearly as ghetto. I would love the beaches and the warm weather there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Texas plain and simple. This state rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pg Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Florida or Texas, get out of here, the winters are cold and the summers sticky. Although Florida is humid too, but at least there's no snow in winter, most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathSandwich Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 i would suggest florida.... just make sure you don't get a solid house that can withstand a bit of wind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
