I have lived in the following places.
Homer, AK
Soldotna, AK
Ashland, OR
Roseburg, OR
Douglas County, OR
Deerfield, IL
Sterling, KS
Kansas City, KS
Peoria, IL
Powers Lake, ND
Stony River, AK
Colorado Springs, CO
Belgrade, MT
This is how I would rank these places from best to worst:
1. Homer, AK--one of my favorite places in the whole world.
2. Douglas County, OR--not Roseburg, but living out of town along the river
3. Belgrade, MT--loved the place, loved the community, needed to leave the job
4. Ashland, OR--Beautiful, gorgeous wonderful place
5. Kansas City, KS--my fave metro area I have lived in (over Chicago and Front Range)
6. Roseburg, OR--home sweet home--where I was born and was until 5th grade
7. Powers Lake, ND--a little too rural. Great in the summer, but would not want winter.
7. Soldotna, AK--Like it better visiting then when I lived there.
9. Deerfield, IL--had no car when I went to school in this wealthy IL suburb.
9. Colorado Springs, CO--nice size, not a friendly place so far. Grown too fast.
11. Stony River, AK--would be much higher if I had running water while living there.
12. Sterling, KS--went to school here. Did well. Never want to go back.
13. Peoria, IL--hot, sticky, trashy....with a whole lotta bad experiences.

Kenosee Lake, SK
Bozeman, MT
Regina, SK
Lustre, MT

I spent a summer in Powers Lake as a youth and childrens minister when I was in seminary.
Did K-COLLEGE programming at $200/week plus housing and utilities (I stayed in a little one bedroom cottage in back of one the houses in town.)
I liked it A LOT, but since I had to drive an hour round trip to rent videos or get Chinese food I am not sure I could take living there long term.
Beat me too...
North Harbour, New Zealand
Rarotonga, Cook Islands
Seoul, Korea
Nara, Japan
I've been feeling lately like I need to pack up and move away. I'm way too comfortable here.
Sorry to hear about Sterling, we will never agree on this one.
