[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In these threads, many of the people who have left DC and now regret it have moved to some place drastically different.  Like a small town or a very car-oriented bigger city without a lot of culture.  So this miss DC.

The thing is, there are many cities where you can get the culture, food, diversity, etc of DC but in a smaller package.  I know of several cities that fit this bill.  [/quote]

Please share - we are always in search of the perfect smaller town to decamp too while keeping much of what we live for DC but with a smaller cost of living![/quote]

Yes, please do share.  I am PP who moved back and am much happier.  Please don't say Charlotte (hated it) or Denver (zzzzzz) or Austin (ok, it may be the closest but still the driving!) because we have lived in all of them and still came back to DC. [/quote]

I've always thought I would like Denver.  What didn't you like?  Was it really boring?  Are you a skier?  That's part of what appeals to me.  What do you do here in DC for fun tht didn't translate to Denver?

ANd I agree, Charlotte is horrid.[/quote]

NP here. If your idea of a perfect day consists of sleeping in and going out to brunch, hitting a world-class museum or two, and then having dinner at a really nice restaurant, Denver may not be your thing. If your idea of perfect day is getting up early, going for a hike, and then relaxing with a microbrew, you'll love it. The best thing about Denver, in my opinion, is the people. In general, they're happy and they love living there, and the positivity just kind of gets stuck on you. Other than the mountains, Denver is a little generic, but the happy, welcoming, laid-back people made it for me. Every city has a culture, and in Colorado, it's: "We live in Colorado; aren't we lucky?" There are plenty of nice people in DC, too, of course, but the overall culture here is a little more blase and even cynical. [/quote]
