Well, I will write in Omaha.

But out of the list I think Des Moines is the best because it has the best economy out of all of them, and its fun too.

This is tough considering I've never been in all of these cities.


Well maybe I'm bias but I say Madison, and Knoxville.

Madison just won an award for cleanest teeth. lol and they've been on top city list quite often. It boast lots of recreational attributes with a liberal attituide. Proximty to Chico and Milwaukee.

Knoxville is right there towards the edge of the smokies. I have a friend who moved there and he likes it. The town itself seems pretty progressive with a decent downtown entertainment scene. Close to recreation. Less than half a days drive to the ocean!

Out of that list, excluding anywhere near me where i could be biased, i would choose Savannah. I've only heard good things from there, although i havnt been

You can't write in Omaha. Omaha is a large city, not mid-sized,(not MEGA city mind you, but still large just the same)

Lincoln is the only city on this list I've been to, and I enjoyed my time there. The capital building is quite a sight. I don't think it's the best though. in looks alone Des Moines hits Lincoln over the head.

But Orlando is larger than Omaha, its metro is 2 million+.

Exactly. This poll is pretty strange. I never would've thought to classify Orlando and Athens GA both as "mid-sized" while completely ignoring places like Albuquerque and Omaha, both of which are definitely mid-sized.

[DAP443]

I based the poll on the population of the city proper. I always placed Omaha and Albuquerque as large cities, hence a population of 400,000. I'll make some edits.
