Unless you're on the road, of course.

I visited Asheville last summer & completely fell in love. I definitely feel like it has the best of everything I like: beautiful surrounding natural mountains & waterfalls, lots of culture, (visual art, live music), great food, affordability, temperate weather, & progressive politics.

We loved Spokane, though, and thought it had most of the advantages of a bigger city with very few of the disadvantages. Our mail forwarding service is based in Sioux Falls, SD, and we like it there a lot, too, although it's on the small side (pop. 200K). Las Cruces, NM and DFW, TX were both great areas, but we're not big on super hot summers...I could go on and on :)Nathan Rodgershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00832185227267757941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233184155385734517.post-71897914156563016852020-02-11T09:23:06.057-05:002020-02-11T09:23:06.057-05:00I moved to NYC a couple of years ago.

At some point I'm sure I will want to be in a less exciting, more livable town. I'm very drawn to the PNW, though I've never even visited. Especially OR. Just looks so beautiful and green. But then there's all that rain...<br />Is there a perfect place to live that's also affordable and has great weather? I fear this an impossible dream. But now I'm intrigued about Boise. I never hear anything about it. I think literally the only thing I know about Boise is that Aaron Paul is from there. And the potatoes, I guess. Any other places you particularly like as potential settle down spots?halcyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16153075174949462914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233184155385734517.post-80475723940306713512020-02-10T19:39:36.326-05:002020-02-10T19:39:36.326-05:00My family went through eight bags of these chips o...My family went through eight bags of these chips over the holiday season.
