skatha Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Calgary is a good town... lots of shred and LOTS of jobs of all kinds (thank the oil boom for that). As contrasted with Houston...also with lots of jobs but...... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin A. Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Pretty cool...I just wish I could move today. Here's my list:Lewiston, ME Steamboat Springs, CO Durango, CO Ketchikan, AK Leavenworth, WA Heber, UT Divide, CO Estes Park, CO Camden, ME Palmer,AK Seward, AK Petoskey, MI Glenwood Springs, CO Homer-Kenai Peninsula, AK Whitefish, MT Springville, UT Saranac Lake, NY Hancock-Houghton, MI Helena, MT Dandpoint, ID Plymouth, NH Salida, CO Livingston, MT Mount Vernon, WA -Interesting to see so many Alaska towns in there...I'll see if I can convince Mrs. Tex... STAY OUT OF PLYMOUTH!!! Its a nice little town and all, that was TOTALLY ruined for me by the college. PSU was (maybe still is) the #1 party school in the country. Translation: September-May nights sirens and rowdy drunks almost constantly. The closest mountain is Tenney, which kinda...um...sucks. Further is Loon, Waterville, Gunstock, Bretton Woods. Saving grace: no sales tax, no income tax, nice summers, nice winters. GREAT fall, lots to do in the area all year round, and THE best chinese restaraunt I have ever been to (Hong Kong Garden-in a basement of another building in town, go down a dark alley and through the rusty door to enter.) Major downsides: PSU, Drunks, Its a college town, Roads suck, NOTHING in town during the summer, kinda expensive, no ski areas really close, drunks, drunk driving, very little infrastructure, its nothing more than a little rest stop during the summer. LOTSA hicks. A much better choice in the same area would be Waterville Valley, Rumney, Warren, or about 30 minutes up 93 is Lincoln, which is actually a really nice town-really touristy though and owned by the FREAKING Lahoot family. ________ Ford model a history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
