Oh, and I picked Harrogate, because an excuse to live in England on the Air Force's dime would be freakin' cool in my opinion. If you want to stay in this country, I'd say Baltimore or San Diego.

Though the food in Italy (not to mention the opera scene) probaly pwns England, much of Italy is a dirty hole. Manchester and Leeds are not dirty holes, as far as I know.

Vegas baby

Honolulu is pretty kickass, or at least Oahu was, when i was there anyway

San Diego would probably be fun as well, you are pretty close to LA and Vegas if you run out of stuff to do ;)

i wouldnt' want to live in Honolulu. It's nice to visit, but then yo u're stuck on an island. the traffic's really bad. i loved the island, but i don't think i'd want to live there.

Man, you can't beat Knob Noster, MO! Especially for that feeling of living in the middle of NO-where! It has only been recently since they got a Sonic and McDonalds, like the last 6 years. I believe there are only 2 stoplights in town. You're 10 country miles from the Super Wal-Mart in Warrensburg, where Applebee's is the biggest franchise restaraunt.

You're making me wish I could go back....

He's in the AF, he can claim residency in a state w/no state income tax whether he lives there or not...like Tennessee.

Scott AFB in St Louis is clearly the superior choice from among these.

You're welcome.

Napels is a complete crime infested, traffic congested, trashy ****hole. The UN base isnt so bad.

Your employer has set aside a huge stretch of the world's most beautiful beaches for your use. Destin and Fort Walton are just a short hop away, as is the Capital of the Redneck Riviera, Panama City Beach.

too many hurricanes. seriously. Those Eglin, Hurlburt and Tyndal bubbas to high-tail it to Montgomery, Atlanta and Birmingham at least three times in the last couple years.

1) You'll never talk to the women there
2) Having a pistole shoved in your face makes you forget about those things.

Sounds like my current location, Alamogordo, NM. At least in NM we have rocky mountain skiing and white sands.

Yep - currently a resident of Texas - lived there for 9 months - no state income tax. This will never change.

Scott? I live closer to East St Louis than St Louis.

Yeah, the Hurricanes can be a nuisance. But, they're the price we pay for living in Paradise.

Killeen

One hour north of Austin. Great base. Excellent community support. No State income Tax. within 2 hours of 3 OU games next year (baylor, ATM, and RRS)
4 hours from norman for home games. Just my 2 cents worth.

I passed up a chance to play in Navy Band Naples; instead I wound up in New Orleans. I've occasionally, no frequently, regretted the decision.

Bossier City? GAH !!! Never go there for any reason. Ever.

I got nuthin, and I'm not voting yet, either.

Italy is a dirty hole. the pollution there is terrible and people don't even care. they are litterbugs. southern italy is even dirtier than northern italy.

when i was there, we had a girl that hand-washed, hung out to dry and ironed our clothes every week. one week i was too broke to pay her the 10 euro, so i did my own laundry...i had to change the water between every item of clothing because the water turned BLACK from the smog in my clothes.
