Miami, Florida.

With your desire to socialize in a warm-weather cosmopolitan city, you should live here: Miami, Florida. The vibrant colors and sexy energy of Miami are found in everything from the natural environment, architecture, people and food. Miami is considered a world city influenced by its cultural and linguistic ties to Latin Americans and Caribbean islanders. Hot days turn into hot nights with the tropical club and music scene. The beaches, subtropical climate and large single population make for plenty of fitness and outdoor activities in this vibrant city. Miami is also home to seven universities and a national park.

That is soooooooooooooooooo me,....

I got Boulder, Colorado. Having never been there I can't really say whether I would like to live there or not. But, just from knowing what I know about Boulder, I would not want to live there. I love the mountains, since that's where I live now. I would much rather be somewhere warm and inviting, not cold and mountainous.

Just couldn't stay my @ss away!

Austin, Texas

Because you value work life and after-hours entertainment, you should live here: Austin, Texas. Austin has been named one of the "Best Places for Business and Career," with residents including professors, politicians, musicians and those who work for major technology corporations. But Austin is about work and play. The city has more live music venues per capita than any other city, earning it the slogan "The Live Music Capital of the World." According to studies at University of Texas, Sixth Street is the place to find nighttime amusements for graduates of all ages with hopping bars and rocking bands. The city's work/life balance and warm climate makes Austin a great place to raise a family. The Colorado River runs through Austin, giving reprieve to hot summers. The surrounding hill country is a great place to play during the mild winters.

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

Haha I got Austin, Texas, too.

I already live about 70 miles south of there, in San Antonio. Not too interested in moving to Austin. It's nice, especially the music scene -- no place can compete with that. But overall, SA is better for me. It's a little warmer here, there's no tidal wave of drunken annoying UT students out "wilding" Sept-May, and we have hardly any of that imported Birkenstock crowd or people whose entire wardrobe is black. SA is a much larger city, but more like a small town in attitude -- of course we have our local weirdos, but not anything like Austin.

SA is much more family-oriented, has better job ops for me, better Mexican food (restaurants in general are superb here,) more culture, more flava. Austin is always an easy, quick drive away if we want to see something there.

Oh. Dear. God.

Lawrence, Kansas

Because you require a high standard of living with unexpected luxuries, you should live here: Lawrence, Kansas. Lawrence is truly a college town with a vitality and diversity uniquely its own. From outdoor sculpture exhibits on downtown street corners to engaging performances, you'll find new opportunities to immerse yourself in the arts. Take a look around and find out why Lawrence has been named the most culturally rich American city under 100,000 people. More than 50 local parks and Clinton Lake state park provide fun outings for the whole family. Boaters, golfers, hikers, birdwatchers - even frisbee golfers - have access to an infinite amount of recreational opportunities

Isn't Kansas as flat as a pancake? The one thing I can't live without are mountains in the vicinity. At the very least, a hill or two!
