Salem, OR
Houston, TX
Fairbanks, AK
 
1. Austin - This is home. That's all I really need to say about it.

2. Tong Du Chon, ROK - Ok this is really Camp Casey Korea. I liked Korea a lot. It's kind of smelly and dirty when you get there, but you get used to it and it's a beautiful country with good people. Lots of interesting things to do.










3. Radcliff KY - I live in Radcliff for a while when I was stationed at Ft. Knox. I can't really find anything nice to say about Kentucky. I thought it was more backwards that most of Korea and the people suck in a big way.
 
Sgt. Longhorn,
I was at Ft. Knox from '88 - '89. You are correct. Radcliff exists as a haven for trailers, pawn shops, Rent-a-Centers, and white trash. Lots of Kentucky is beautiful, though, but it is a pretty backwards place.
 
1.) Granada, Spain

2.) Madrid, Spain

3.) Oxford, MS- Played baseball for the university that resides in that town, best 5 years of my life.

4.) Houston- like most, I've been here for 2 years and it's grown on me as well.

5.) Wenatchee, WA- if you're into the outdoors, this place is heaven, I directly compare it to Bend, Oregon as a more familiar analogy.

6.) Kerrville, TX- Grew up there.

7.) Seattle, WA- As pretty as that city is, after 3 years living downtown, I was done with the people, and the weather.
 
1. Goldsboro, NC...birthplace. Close to everything.
2. Angeles City, Phillipines...glad to be back in the US. While there, I took part in a ceremony re tracing the Bataan death march. Humbling and powerful experience.
3. Mt. Olive NC - sigh...they have a rather large pickle factory there...and that's about it. Dry town and a church every half block.
4. Virginia Beach, Va. - lots of fun for the single gal...13 military installations/camps-all branches represented. Good times. Heh.

5. Colorado Springs, Co. ---Absolutely gorgeous place. I was only there for a very short time but would love to go back as a tourist.
6. Ft. Wayne, Indiana...fail!
7. San Antonio, TX-loved it. Can't wait to get back.
8. Hampton, Va..a freaking hole. If there is an armpit of America, this is it. Probably the crappiest place I have ever lived. My only consolation is the possibility that the sea level will rise which will eventually bury that sh** hole under water one day. I can hope anyway.
9. Las Vegas, NV-way too young to enjoy. Don't have any real; memories of it. Friends of mine call it home now and love it.

I have lived more places but these are the ones I spent the most time at.
 
1. Austin - Nuff' said.




2. Lockhart, Tx. - Not by choice. I grew up there. At least I had awesome BBQ growing up. I didn't think I'd live in a worse place until I moved to #3 for college.



3. Seguin, Tx - Seriously, **** this place. I chose to go to college at TLU. I knew Seguin wasn't going to be paradise, but I had scholarships that allowed me to go to school pretty much for free. And I got to play college golf.

Seguin sucked ***.

My first day of golf practice there was a shooting/ drive by across the street from Starcke Park. There was a Tyson Chicken rendering plant across the street from the university, and when they processed the fat the entire town stunk to high hell for days.

I transferred after 2 years to UT and thanked merciful God for Austin everyday since then.
 
Just since I've been old enough to judge.

1. Austin, by far
2. Round Rock, when to elementary school there in the late 80's/early 90's. Cool, little town.
3. San Antonio
4. Corpus Christ, it's lame, but better that Arlington
5. Arlington
 
Austin - College, then career
Boulder - current residence for work
Guam - 2 years in Junior High
St. Petersburg - worked there
San Antonio - High School
Atlanta - worked there
Abilene - grew up there
Corona, CA - worked there
 
1a - Austin
1b - Chicago -- love them both for many reasons. but dislike them for the same reasons -- Chicago is unbearable in the winter and Austin is oppressive in the summer.
3 - Dallas

I'll just include the places I've lived since I was 18.

1. Austin - it's just easily the coolest place I've ever lived. College was awesome, the chicks are awesome, the bars are awesome, the freaks, geeks, weirdos and hippies are awesome and then the outdoors are awesome. It's pretty awesome.

2. Huntington Beach (Orange County), CA - Over all Southern California is badass. There is just an absolutely ENDLESS list of things to see and do within a couple hours drive. If you like the outdoors it's hard to beat a place where you can wake up and snowboard and then by the end of the day be surfing in Huntington. I lived two blocks from the beach and two blocks from the pier which was awesome. The only bad thing is the people are just alright. And HB is ground zero for surfers, you tend to get some attitude when at the bars wearing cowboy boots like myself. And being in the water flopping around like a fatass cow doesn't win you any friends either. Had several verbal altercations with surfers, "I'm learning for F#@# sake!"

3. Knoxville, TN - A really great little SEC college city. SEC football and all that it entails is hard to beat. Falls in the Smoky's CAN NOT be beat, it is absolutely gorgeous. Great, if you like being outdoors. Good bars, good chicks.

4. Denton, TX - I've always had a soft spot for Denton. It's a good little Texas town and I've always been a big Fry Street fan. We used to live two blocks from Fry Street so we would just stumble down to the bars for dollar beers and stumble back when it was over. Good memories.

5. Dallas, TX - I live here now. I grew up in the suburbs of Dallas so it's always kind of been home. Dallas sucks dick. I really enjoy my friends and being around the Cowboys and Rangers but this city is so jam packed with douche baggery I'm suffocating. There's nothing to do outdoors unless you have a boat, which we do, so the lake can be a lot of fun but I want places to ride bikes, hike and camp nearby and the selection is just real weak.

6. San Antonio, TX - Was stationed here for a while. I love to visit SA but living there is a different thing. Short supply of good looking chicks. Over all not bad though. I like San Antone.

7. Augusta, GA - Was stationed here for a while. Pretty boring town. Not a whole lot of anything happens here. Now Savannah, which is just a little ways down the road is another thing altogether. That is a great town and had I lived there it would be in my top 3. It's the pretty city I've ever seen.
 
1. Austin - heaven in a little fourplex on leon. Enjoyed it enough that I moved back twice.

2. San Francisco - prepared me for living in asia (crowded, expensive and lots of asians)

3. San Diego - loved to bike there, a young person's party town and I was young at USD.

4. San Marcos - nuttin like jumpin in the river on a hot texas day.

5. Orlando - avoided the tourists and watched out for the sinkholes.

6. Sapporo, Japan - odori festival and walking in bars with immediate results. Siberian winters were tough.

7. Houston - final year and a half of high school and first two years of marriage. always enjoyed the vibe.

8. Denver - too young to remember a lot, but it was shangri-la when we'd return to visit.

9. Wichita, KS - born there, visited grandparents every year after.

10. Rockwall - not bad for a bedroom community. Nice commute into downtown dallas.

11. Dallas - I don't mind visiting, but prefer to live elsewhere.

12. Bryan - shared a great petrified wood house, hidden in a forest.

13. College Station - one of the derelicts on church street.

14. Garland - what's the difference

15. Mesquite - absolute zero diversity when I grew up there. Parents had to keep on the downlow about attending a Mcgovern rally and then the whole town did a dosey-do and two ******* kids became my stepbrothers.

16. Plano - currently live til kids graduate from high school.

17. San Angelo - high school and lake nasty.

18. Wichita Falls - too damn hot in the summer and too damn cold in the winter. Every weekend we were out of town to wichita mountains or metroplex.

19. Abilene - I liked the church of the holy v****a, but it didn't like me.
 
1) Dubai
2) Austin
3) Lubbock
4) Dallas (sort of young, dont remember much)
5) Awali, Bahrain (too young to remember)
6) Abilene (currently live here and have for 4 months, need to get out of here, there is NOTHING to do, I am gone every weekend because of this, and need a job elsewhere. I would happily stay with my company if it was NOT in Abilene. But then again they pay me a per diem of 350 to live here a week....)
 
1. Austin
2. London, England
3. Bristol, England
4. Memphis, Texas
5. Houston
6. Borger, Tx
7. Tripoli, Libya
8. Kavala Greece
9. Kuwait City, Kuwait
 
Tarrytown
Hyde Park
Travis Heights
Rosedale

I didn't enjoy the time I spent off of Far West or on East Riverside.

I have been to all of the cities mentioned above. (Edit: since, some people have mentioned Kuwait, Bahrain, and some others, ... no, I haven't been to all of them) I like NYC, SF, London, and Hong Kong.
 
1. Houston. A much better place to live than visit.
2. Prague. Beautiful city, cheap beer, hot women. Or at least that was the case in 1994.
3. Austin. I was born there and went to UT for a year (flunked out) and visit often.
4. Playa del Carmen. We spent a few months down there in a cheap hotel in 1992, before the big building boom. I am scared to go back there now -- I want it to stay the way it was in my mind.
5. Kibbutz Yahel, Israel. I really dug dawn in the desert fields.
6. Kibbutz Kfar Blum, Israel. At the other end of the country, this place reminded me of south Louisiana with more snow-capped mountains and falafel.
7. Nashville. Nicer place to visit than live. I spent k-8th grade and a couple of years in my 20s there. Too religious and thinks it is hipper than it is. There are nice hills and woods and creeks there, but it is too land-locked and the winters are misery. It's just cold enough to suck and not cold enough to be snow that much.
8. Preston, Lancashire, England. Decaying mill town in England, my wife's hometown. Not much to do there but drink and fight. It's not far from the Lake District and the moors though.
9. Blackpool, Lancashire, England. It's like a cross between Atlantic City, Vegas and Branson, Mo, with lots more fighting and drinking. We lived and worked in the worst pub in that town for a summer/fall.

(unranked) NYC -- too young to remember.
 
1. Bologna, Italy (yes, it was 0-7 but every visit back there reminds me why I loved it)
2. Austin and Houston - tied. Call me crazy - each city has a lot going for it. Austin kicks Houston's *** in many areas while Houston kicks Austin's *** in others.
 
Prague is a lot more expensive than it used to be, but still a picturesque town....and the women are still hot for the record
