I've decided that my current job is just not fun anymore. So, I've started looking at other opportunities around the country (and possibly the world). My question to you all is: Where would you move to and why?

I won't quit my current job wotout a replacement, so I don't plan to move anytime soon, but the research has to start somewhere.

I am currently looking at Eastern Washington State, Oregon, parts of Texas (San Antonio, Austin, Dallas), and North Carolina. I welcome more reasons to go to any of these places, but I am interested in other places that I may be overlooking as well.

Maybe not why I should move there, but why are you there, or why would you move there?

Weather? Job opportunities? Social or cultural activities? Open spaces? Big city or small town?
