Pensacola

I've lived on the eastern seaboard, central and Southern California coast, been to ocean and sea beaches in western and Central Europe. Been to the pacific and Atlantic beaches in Mexico. Been to coast of Japan. I have been to several Caribbean islands.

Have never been to beaches in South America, nor the Middle East, nor Asia other than Japan.

I have never seen more pure white sand and beautiful blue waters than off Santa Rosa Island near Ft Pickins. Pensacola Florida has one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

If I wanted beauty and to be left alone, I'd move to Pensacola beach.

National Geographic is still around? I haven't seen an issue of that magazine since they found the Titanic.

Have you ever been to Albuquerque?

I've been a couple of times and enjoyed the city.

It’s one of an unusually high number of hair salons and grooming spots

When I think of the factors they may be included in a list of best cities I usually think of schools, parks, entertainment, restaurants, cost of living, healthcare, income, weather, etc.

Apparently I’ve been thinking wrong because I would never thought of hair salons but I’m glad I know now.

So glad that Stephen Hawking and Ray Charles could do this fun project.

You couldn’t pay me to spend a night in half of those places
