You may ask yourself, is this my beautiful house?

dafydd posted an interesting quiz showing what cities are the best match for one's personal tastes. I took it, and here are my results



1. Portland, Oregon City of Roses

Not bad, I've been there and enjoyed it greatly. But eleri isn't there any more! (pout)

2. Little Rock, Arkansas Where America Comes Together

Uh, no. I'm not living in the South again.

3. Hartford, Connecticut The Insurance Capital

Nice place, saw the Dead there years ago. But 42" of snow a year? I'll pass.

4. Providence, Rhode Island New England’s Best Kept Kept Secret

I don't believe in Rhode Island.

5. New Haven, Connecticut Home of Yale University

Never been there. Again, snow is a problem.

6. Baton Rouge, Louisiana The Cajun Capital

Red Stick! aurictech would be happy to have me down there, and the food is good.

7. New Orleans, Louisiana The Crescent City

The Big Sleazy. Hurricanes, Humidity, and the most corrupt police force in the nation. Pass.

8. Las Vegas, Nevada Entertainment Capital of the World

I wouldn't mind living in Vegas, actually.

9. Honolulu, Hawaii America’s Tropical Paradise

No. I'm allergic to Oahu. I could probably hack living on the Big Island though.

10. Worcester, Massachusetts The Heart of the Commonwealth

I refuse to live anyplace I can't spell.

11. Sacramento, California The River City

Way too hot in the summer.

12. Eugene, Oregon The Emerald City

Another good choice.

13. Corvallis, Oregon Heart of the Willamette Valley

Interesting. I've heard some great things about Corvallis.

14. Baltimore, Maryland The Sparkling Harbor City

One advantage: a winning baseball team!

15. Boston, Massachusetts America’s Walking City

Another place I wouldn't mind living, except of course for the winters.

16. Salem, Oregon The Heart of Oregon

This website is determined to get me to move to Oregon.

17. Washington, District of Columbia The World's Greatest Capital

I wouldn't mind living in DC, except for the insane weapons laws and the fact I'd be that close to Bush.

18. San Francisco, California The Golden Gate City

Well, duh.

19. Medford, Oregon Gateway to the Pacific Northwest

Is there any major Oregon city that didn't make my list?

20. San Jose, California The Silicon Capital

Well, I live here now, so this isn't too surprising.

21. Alexandria, Louisiana The Crossroads of Louisiana

Never heard of it.

22. Long Beach, California LA’s Ocean Playground

Far too close to Dodger Stadium.

23. Shreveport-Bossier City, Louisiana Cities of Three Flags

Again with the South!

24. Fayetteville, Arkansas Light of the Ozarks

I drove through Arkansas once. Once.

Of course, with three exceptions, none of these places are close enough to SBC Park for my tastes.

Almost all of my results were in rural Oregon, upstate New York, or New England. This pretty much says "Move to Canada" to me, which would work except for the inconvenient part about my actually already living here :)

Hey, if you move up here, there'll finally be someone around to GM Traveller for cmdr_zoom and me... schweet!

If you consider *Medford* a "major city", the so are places like The Dalles, Bend, Pendleton, etc.

Basicly, we've got the Portland Metro area, the Eugene area, and then you start getting into small cities/large towns.
