Find your spot - 06-29-2005, 01:22 PM


ever thought of your ideal location to live? i never have until i was sent this website. take the quiz & answer some question. in about 8 minutes the quiz will compile your answers and find your ideal living location.

after taking the quiz myself, my top spot is Tulsa, Oklahoma. NEVER even considered OK as a living option. who knows what could happen!

anyways...take the quiz and find you top spots. plz post your tops spots here!

Jacksonville, FL
Charleston, SC
Houston, TX
Orlando, FL
Memphis, TN
Knoxville, TN
West Palm Beach, FL
Miami, FL
San Antonio, TX
Nashville, TN
Austin, TX
Oklahoma City, OK

Pretty good choices. If I discount FL (been there, done that, can't take it - both the sociological and political climate), and TN (never been yet, so don't know yet), then Texas is where I belong.

By the way, since they are a marketing firm, I used fake info on my info form, including that I lived in Kookadamunga, Mass 02019 :D

Providence is nice if you like winter... but Boston? Ewww... I would hate living there (great place to visit). :)

I've seen lots of Charleston, SC ... weather wise, its similar to Houston... very humid, maybe one ice day a year... wonderful culture... not much of a beach, though. :)

The Okie City Chamber of Commerce might have done a little "funding" of the site for favorable placements.

Seattle was #1 for me. Not surprising, since I already knew that I would *love* to live there, in fact, I applied for a job there a few months ago but didn't get it. Ah well.

After that were Cincinnati (eh?), Knoxville (eh?), Bellingham WA, Carlisle PA (where?) and Portland (ahhh), then Olympia and Tacoma WA. Guess I should move to Washington state!!

My hometown of Charlotte, NC was #8. It's a beautiful city that I didn't fully appreciate till I was gone!

As expected, Houston did not make my list. In fact, I don't think anywhere in Texas did. I like Texas, don't get me wrong...I just wish it had cooler weather and mountains!! :lol:
