Well don't ask me why....lol...but I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio and hope to someday move to Arizona. I've had enough of the snow and cold weather....at least in Arizona if you want snow you can go to Flagstaff for the weekend.
I could have moved twice in my career both to Atlanta but the timing was right so here I stayed. It's a great city - it really is - but the weather stinks in the winter. You can't beat the cost of living here as compared to other cities.
Now if I wanted to stay up north then I would have to be a NYC girl..love that city and have been there a lot.
