I'd move down there in a heartbeat if I could.

you would??? I lived here for 18 years...left for 5 years to go to college at NAU...and then came back and in just 6 months and im ready to leave again. The weather is too hot, the social scene is very "clickish" seems to me. It does have a low cost of living and lots of things to see though i will admit.

i prefer the serene tranquil northern AZ or the montana, wyoming, idaho area. If there were any money to be made in those places I'd be there in a heartbeat, but as it stands the money just aint there :(

I am actually headed out there twice later this year. Sucks to come back to IL in the winter.

Isn't that the car theft capital of the U.S? Short distance for the wetbacks to take the stolen vehicles to the chop shop ;)

Not Northern Virginia! Stay away from the D.C area. Too many people and too much traffic.

My inlaws are moving to a small town outside of Colorado Springs. They absolutely love it there, so we've been considering moving there too. Just wish there was a good college there...

Good college here? Hmmm... maybe we do need to do some advertising.

Damn, I have to go there on vacation now since I had to move to VA. I spent 2.5 years in Tucson and loved every second of it.

Not the capitol but I see your point and in some shady areas of Tucson it is known to happen. The car gets driven to Mexico.

Sorry, but I'm looking for a good business school. Nevertheless, Colorado Springs is on my short list of places to live when I'm finally done with school. I dig the winter sports.

Yeah, good luck on the business school. I sure wouldn't come to Colorado for that...
