Where is your dream place...

**Pax** · 02-20-2007, 05:49 AM

Funny, I took the quiz and ended up in...Key West!!

(and a few other coastal towns in LA/AL/FL)

Pooks, great photos, stunningly beautiful!

i took that quiz, oh, my dream city is PORTLAND, OR..
the quiz asks for an address and email (I'm Jo Blow, at 201 main street, mobile AL,
36601) but they give you the answers, so you can put in a phony email address too)

Moi, the Carolina gal who has just barely been to Colorado (only to Cortez on the Grand Circle we did last spring).

Since my original research, DH and I have both decided that we require a warmer climate that Salida, but it sure did -- and does -- sound wonderful other than that, and I definitely plan a visit there one day. In the summer!

Emily - great minds think alike! I took Snap's quiz & Salida came up in the list -but so did Charlottesville, VA (I'm 40 miles northeast of it) & Culpeper, VA (I am 15 miles from there!) & a few spots in NC - Hickory, Boone, etc.

If you get out to CO, Salida is definitely worth a visit. It's gorgeous & funky & beautiful (in the summer

). It does get a bit more snow than I would like, but hey, I'm willing to compromise. The low humidity more than makes up for it. Dream on....

Cool site, snap!

I got Portland as my number 1 result!

The rest of my top ten made sense to me, except that I really don't know how Little Rock AR snuck in there!

isles of scilly,its still british,the people smile,pace of life,climate excellent,everything is very small,the sea is breathtakingly clear ,little use for cars,and ..........heaven.

OK, my top spots are:
1. Fredericksburg, Texas
2. San Marcos, Texas
3. Natchitoches, Louisiana
4. Kahului-Wailuku, Hawaii
5. Mountain Home/Bull Shoals, Arkansas

Somehow I don't see myself ever living in any one of these. Although I did always think it might be nice to live in Texas, but I've never been there.

Eugene and Corvallis were my top two. Funny.

All the while on that Redhook ride, I kept thinking "This is so much like the paths in Euge..." "I love how they make this little bridge- just like in Eugene..."

*siiiigh* If I click my heels enough, will I eventually get back to the emerald city?

Yes.

"I had a dream, I put Ito in my bike basket, clicked my ruby 'martins, went to the emerald city... and you were there- and we were all listening to Pink Floyd....?"

Yep, me too. My mom lives in Hickory, and it's okay, but too large a city for me. Lots of sprawl and shopping centers, though the downtown area is charming. Silver City, NM comes up tops for me, and I'm very attracted to it...and the low humidity! It's warmer than Salida, but has some similarities (arty community, small, funky town, etc.)

In canada I'm pretty much where I want to be- not my "dream house" but it is a dream location, close to lakes and provicial parks, so, many opportunites for cycling, hiking and watersports but.... if I were to move to the States the quiz gave me loads of ideas.
Lots in Washington and Oregon and Colorado..maybe I will just use it as a template to plan holidays

Thanks for the quiz! mind busy churning now....

**snapdragen** · 02-20-2007, 07:41 PM

My spots are:

Saint Helens, OR
Joseph, OR
Metaline Falls, WA (I've actually been here!)
Ketchikan, AK (been here too!)
Bremerton, WA
Astoria, OR

More places in Alaska, a couple in Arkansas and Louisiana, and Virginia.

I can see a road trip to Oregon and Washington is in order.

It sound like a lot of us got similar answers. Mine were all in Oregon - Eugene , Corvallis, St Helens. But then I got a bunch for Hawaii too. Funny that all the places I hang out came up on the quiz. It's good to know that I'm not wasting my time in places that I don't want to be in. Did that make any sense at all?

Yes, it did. I think my answers were more confusing and so I got lots of cities all over the country; only the top one made sense.
