Putting Baton Rouge 30 spots ahead of New Orleans is laughable

1. Denver, CO


Meh, been there 3 times in the past year and not impressed. It's an ok city, but it's uglier than I expected, the downtown area isn't impressive and seems to lack a lot of the amenities some of the other trendy cities have, and it's got a surprising urban sprawl issue for how small it is relative to places like LA, Dallas, etc.

I agree, it should be 50 spots ahead.

Fayetteville, AR?


That's actually a pretty nice area... especially compared to the rest of Arkansas. Plus several big corporations and probably very low cost of living.

Not saying I'm going to move there, but I get it.

Boulder is nice, but expensive. I live just outside the city and love having sunshine 300 days a year.

I lived in Fayetteville and wouldn't place it in the top 3 (nor the top 10, for that matter).

Raleigh/Durham- I'm spending the weekend in and taking in Duke/UNC at Cameron. Can't beat the basketball, but I'm no fan of humidity.

I don't see you fitting in well in CO. You're more of a housecat. Besides, why waste incredible weather when you've already dedicated the best years of your life to posting on a message board?

Fayetteville is a beautiful city. Much nicer than anything in LA. And yes, I grew up in LA.

Obviously it's the airport code. Just easier to identify than spelling out the name.... And you knew exactly what I was saying.... Tard


And I stick by that, both those top cities are really over rated. Some try to act like they are the end all be all for cities when they are far from it.

Stop it my main man PA

There isn't much about BR that is desirable.

Only people that like BR are the people that have family there, small portion that graduated from lsu and has some odd nostalgic feelings about it, or the people that grew up in plaq or livingston and alway wanna muve to da big city!

Agreed. Denver is extremely overrated. Phoenix with a mountain.
