Why do people live in the midwest?

There are some nice areas in DC.

Same for Philly, which is where I basically am now.

Neither even compares to NYC though, which is where I used to be.

In all of the places I\'ve lived so far, NYC has by far been my favorite.  Too bad its so damn expensive.

As far as DC goes, that is b/c of the politicians.... *rimshot*
You should check out Chicago, not sure about the job situation though.
ATL used to have a shitload of jobs, again not sure now.

Do you travel that much for business or something?

Chicago and Boston are on my list of places to visit.  Been to ATL several times while I was going to UAB, not my cup of tea.

I travel for fun, daily bus rides to NYC are $15 so I go there w/the gf to check out the museums, Chinatown, and restaurants or bars.  My uncle has a house in Ft Lauderdale he sometimes occupies so we go down there a lot in the winter.
