Medium-sized city far from either coast is obv the way to go here. There are still plenty of convenience stores and restaurants and sporting events and asian massage parlors, but the cost of living isn't ridiculous and the traffic is bearable too.

If I'm going to live in a city then I like to make it a major one. To offset all the drawbacks I need to have stuff that a big city can offer me. Lots of good nightlife, heaps of touring acts, just a really crazy dynamic place. Otherwise I'll just hang on a mountain somewhere.

I'm with you on this. I either like big, major cities, or a small rural place. I live in an in between-y right now, and it's like the worst of both worlds. Though I think Claunchy modified what he meant. He probably means a place like Austin as opposed to Wichita.

Re: Barbers. I've had great luck in small towns. $10 bucks for a great haircut and no waiting in Bristol, RI.

I think eventually I'll live in a rural area, but maybe not given my current line of work.
