Just stay out of New York State. In a couple years, no one will be able to afford to live here.
If you can get past all the bad jokes and punchlines New Jersey is actually teaming with pharmaceutical companies, especially along the northeast corridor between Philly/DC and New York. Several of my friends, right out of school, got jobs in labs around the Princeton/West Windsor/New Brunswick area, just northeast of Trenton.
I live in central NJ and am 40 minutes from Philly, 70 minutes from the Five Borrows (NYC). There’s Mexicali Grill in Teaneck, McCarter Theatre in Princeton, the Keswick in Glenside PA, not to mention all the great clubs and halls in Philly and New York; a nice cross-section of guys and gals and great beer taboot; the Delaware Water Gap (Appalachian Trail through PA->NJ), High Point (AT through northern NJ) and Bear Mountain (AT through NJ->NY); skiing in the Poconos less than a 2 hour drive; and we are right near da beach, Boy-eeee!
I could go on and on, New Jersey isn’t really that bad, if anything it’s a little fast-paced, but there is more than enough to slow a person down…
If I may, I would like to quote the great philosopher, Ferris Bueller, who once said, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you just might miss it.”

It’s pretty cool, kinda central to the South and not too far from some good northern areas…the weather is usually pretty good…although summertime months can sometimes be a little humid.
Where are you, in the Hamilton/Bordentown area or south of there? We should get together with Olfactory since he’s nearby as well. I’m in the southeast corner of Howell, about 6 miles from the beach at Pt. Pleasant.
Did anyone forget to mention, forget to mention Memphis?
Also sorry…
Thanks for the suggestions phans. I will definitely check out that website Fone.
Actually, I grew up in Hamilton and Trenton, and now live in Bordentown. I tried to hook up with Olfactory at Trey in Philly back in October, but I wasn’t cool enough I guess…I even pm’d him about going hiking at Wharton but he didn’t even open the mail…

I don’t visit the shore much, but I would like to hang out and get down with some no good 'Pa…who’s got good beer in Howell? Where’s there good hiking off of 195?
i’d recommend asheville too. i’ve only been there a couple of times but it’s got a cool vibe to it. downtown has a lot of cool places to eat, record stores and all kinds of other fun stuff.
i have a friend who lives in hendersonville nc and she likes it there. if you like mountain college towns boone nc is pretty neat as well.
charleston sc has nice weather and beaches and the winter is very tolerable.
i’m going to school in burlington, vt and it’s siiick. there’s a solid music theme and culture, but it is awefulllllly cold!
Burlington is obviously the epitome of hetty
I’m not so sure about that website findyourspot.com Fone. I took that quiz, and the first city listed for my results was Little Rock, Arkansas. Then again, I’ve never been to Arkansas. Maybe Arkansas is sweet.

I discounted some of the locations it found, but a lot of them seemed pretty reasonable.
Man, hit up MN we always rank in the top for many areas… Check it, GREAT local music scene, top 5-10 by most accounts in the US…
I actually hear that Fayetteville, AR is a pretty cool city. and Wakarusa is moving to Arkansas.
wait, where do you live now?
Nashville’s pretty sweet actually. Vanderbilt is right in the middle of the city so there’s the college atmosphere and town right there. And it’s not all country music…you can get plenty other types if you like.
Stevo
I second that one.

You’re right, most of the cities seemed pretty reasonable. I just thought it was funny that the first city on the list was Little Rock. I just never really considered moving to Arkansas as an option.
I live in Columbus, Ohio. (I know, pot calling the kettle black)
