What was London in reference too?
A place to live when you get older.
Not too hot in the summer and not too cold in the winter.
I wasn't really reffering the city to you guys, just saying that's where I'd choose had I have to pick where to live when older.
I was more reffering to our convo and not you two in general.
I don't think me or Kori like rain too much, so that's crossed off the list.
Yeah.
My ideal place to grow old and die would be living on a large place of land in the hill country between SA and Bandera.
Seattle, without a doubt. Vancouver has always been my favorite, but the Grizzlies moved out of there.
I'm pretty happy here in Phoenix, in spite of the heat. When it's January and 75-80 degrees here and the rest of the country is freezing, that's when I like Arizona the best. It's also one of the few "four sport" cities, so that's another plus.
I've always wanted to go to Florida but I don't know if I wanna be there for all the damned hurricanes. I have a cousin who lives in Colorado and I enjoyed it there. I say Colorado until I visit other places.
Orlando!!!!
DittoSeattle, without a doubt. Vancouver has always been my favorite, but the Grizzlies moved out of there.
Oh yeah great place to live when you get old, nothing like paying about $7 for a QUART of gasoline, and having to rely 100% on the public transportation system. Great spot for old poeple without a doubt, esp. ones who are used to wide open spaces like Phoenix, Salt Lake, and San Antonio.For me, I'd have to say London.

If it couldn't be San Antonio, I'd say Houston.
This is a pretty ignorant post being that you state your opinion as fact.
I am not originally from San Antonio, and I could have lived anywhere in the country. I chose San Antonio because in my opinion, its the best city in America. The people are very friendly, you have all the amenities of a big city while maintaining a small town feel, the infastructure is better than most cities its size, and the cost of living is low. Also, you get to enjoy the outdoors without travelling far outside the city. And if one can't have fun in San Antonio, they must be high maintenence to the point that they are impossible to please.
So think before you proclaim your opinion as "the truth".
(pardon me if I go off from the topic a bit here, but this is important to me)
This debate is actually playing a very significant role in where I will end up going to college. I plan on majoring in journalism, sports journalism specifically, and I want to attend a college in a city where there is an NBA team. I go from college to, hopefully, some kind of local sportswriting.
Right now, I am 90% sure I will end up staying in San Antonio. Incarnate Word, St. Mary's, UTSA, Trinity, etc. The motivation for this is simple: for what few connections I do have here, I have more than I would going to another city. I love the city, and obviously love the Spurs, but I'd be starting back at square one going to, say, Dallas. The Spurs still have that small town feel- the small pond, with big fish.
That being said, Dallas is my second choice. SMU, TCU. I've spent some time in Dallas, and have relatives up there. I absolutely love the city, and I can stomach the Mavericks more than any other team excepting the Knicks (Malik). Still Texas, but it is a bigger city with obviously more nightlife and a better college atmosphere than SA.
So to answer the question, any city other than San Antonio? Dallas. But from the looks of it I'll be staying local for the final four years. Though that is flexible.
If anyone has any serious advise on this, it would be greatly appreciated. Aside from just contributing to a fun thread, I have a real purpose in posting this. I need help. Where I attend college is obviously a big decision, and I'm trying to find the right direction to point in.
No, your not recognizing my last statement regarding 'only speaking the truth' as clearly being tongue-in-cheek is pretty ignorant.
So think before you rattle off such an unnecessarily defensive answer.
Jelly, we honor your "opinion".. remember more than 2/3'rds of this board live in S.A., what would you expect? Applause for doggin our city? Nah. But good idea.
Anyway, I've never been up north but have been to FLA, Phx, No and So Cal and I'd have to say as far as climate.. San Fran/Oakland and the Bay Area would be where i'd call home if I couldn't live in S.A. Mild climate usually and all kinds of ish to do. The only downside is the $$$$ of the area.. one of the most expensive in the nation.
Nacho (my all-time favorite dish btw)
You're right. Actually, I'm lucky more people didn't get upset at my post.
San Francisco is a great place, good choice
Dallas
Boston
Sacramento
but please please don't make me move!!!
You think DC is all that! I don't think so! You can keep the high murder rates from year to year. The pot holes big enough to fit a city bus in and the high cost of living there. Comparing the two cities Washington vs San Antonio, San Antonio hands down. You can keep all the rude people and ugly women and the dirty snow. I'll be here sipping on a margorita in December with a beautiful lady on my arm
Denver, CO.
Actually, I never compared the cities of Washington and San Antonio (although, since you brought it up I do prefer living in DC to SA). I appreciate your hometown pride, but your overreacting.
Oh, so now it's tounge in cheek.
Keep back peddling all the way into the Atlantic.
By the way genius, it's "you're" not your.
It was always tongue in cheek. But you obviously didn't get it.Oh, so now it's tounge in cheek.

And thanks for the grammar lesson, but in this context it's "your". I am not saying "you're" which would mean "you are".
But thanks anyway braniac. And by the way, it's "tongue" not "tounge".

Are you really this ing stupid? "Your" shows possesion, as in "your stupidity". Yes, you're is a contraction for "you are", as in "you are not recognizing".
Get it bag?
Also, keep backpeddling! It's entertaining to the others who have commented on your inane post about San Antonio.
