That guy sitting on the edge is one crazy mofo, peter.

Ahhh the hubris of youth. Big pucker factor out there, sure we can all suck up a seat but have you ever tried granite?

It's true. Everyone should totally move to SLC not Colorado... It sucks here.

No way! keep them in Colorado! Besides too many coloradians think they can't buy beer here in Utah, so they don't want to come here.

No question, Maine in the summer and anywhere with snow the rest of the year. Probably Asheville NC. Hope to move there in a couple of years.

What about Bend, Oregon? Any beta on that little spot?

Colorado is still my favorite... Springdale, Utah second...

I was waiting for Andrew to pipe up as he lives there but the place is great. Lots of outdoor activities with the deschutes river, Mt. Bachelor and Smith rock. Sunriver and Black Butte are also close for some great getaway locations.

I would live at Black Butte Ranch if I could.

I think (and I don't live there) some of the drawbacks are poor city planning. You've gotten a lot of growth quickly and now traffic is a mess and its really not that easy to get around. But such things are easily overlooked because of all of the aforementioned attractions.

The cost of living is rediculous! And Norway has yet to get a clue about "fast" food. I guess that keeps them pretty thin though. Their burgers, pizza and anything mexican leaves a lot to be desired. I still can't get over the fact that they don't (typically speaking, and this was 7 years ago) use pizza sauce. They bake the pizza with no sauce and then put Ketchup on top. Oh and I never got used to seeing corn as a pizza topping. Pizza Hut was pretty new so you could always find some pretty good pizza. McDonalds was the only burger that I ate there and it was....well McDonalds.

Yepp the cost of living is high, but so is the STANDARD of living, it isnt for nothing that Norway has been voted best country to live in by the UN 2 years running...
