So Jess and I were talking (John and I do this a lot) about places we would like to live and she asked me if I would ever live in California, so I made a list of places I considered acceptable places to live. Then she asked me why, so I jotted down my reasons and here we go…
NYC - Because I want to photograph it. I want to live the NY state of mind (if I don’t already) I want to be the fashion ad... etc. Dreams/hopes/wants/ Beautiful Architecture, A lot of history nearby.... its NYC...
Chicago - LOVE the City. Love the buildings. I know the area. I have family here. I looked like a Garfield car cling when we drove through it the first time *splat*
Los Angeles - I love the beaches along the coast here. I like Hollywood. I know my way around. I like the weather, and what’s around it.
London – It’s not America. I love British Culture. Fashion. Music. Historical reasons…again.
Somewhere in Italy – Preferably a small country area (think Under the Tuscan Sun) Because I want to be somewhere I can be free, to write, think, live, breathe. The city girl in me also is a lil bit country…
San Francisco - “The City”.. I “know” a photographer in the area; I want to be able to take the pictures he takes. It’s beautiful up there.
Seattle – The only response I can give for this choice is a song lyric by garbage…. “I’m only happy when it rains.....”
Boston - It’s not far from NYC, Also in a historic area. Coastal. Canadia is not to far and it’s not far to visit other states.
New Jersey - Close to NYC, Coastal, Good music scene, not far from Philadelphia and D.C. (Historical reasons again)
Phoenix – Oddly enough, I would live here. It’s close to family but still in a city-like atmosphere. Its 2 hours to the “country” and like 6 hours to a beach. The weather sucks, But Hey, That’s what air conditioning is for right? And I have to admit, I have a small soft spot for Arizona…. Even if it is Dante’s Inferno.
As you can tell, I live a very expensive life in my head. I dream big city dreams…
So I guess, I’ll make this an open forum Blog Posting…
What are your top 5 Cities (if you could live ANYWHERE) where would you live… Give me the Cities and why. I don’t want countries. I want specific places and reasons if you will.

OOh, this is fun! Ok ...
Gold Beach, OR ... I have an infatuation with Oregon, I have NO idea why. Best guess, green, hills, ocean, cold, and the airport RIGHT ON THE COASTLINE!
Montpellier, France ... Cause it's FRANCE, and not the vacation spot that Paris is, but still close enough, and also on the coast (even though its the Mediterranian)
Random Town, Nova Scotia ... just cause I can be somewhere NOT America, and speak French
London, England (sings "engaLAND! Engaland") History, close to France, (another infatuation) real fish n chips, music, etc.
Amsterdam, Holland ... for the pure unthinking experience of it
