cleveland has its advantages, excellent medical facilities, very nice museums, a halfway decent theater district, alot of little shops and ethnic resturants in the various neighborhoods.  the suburbs are better than the city proper if you have kids, the schools here suck unless your kids are in special classes.  like puppy said, beachwood is a good area for the wealthier set.  the housing varies from century homes to new construction all over the area and right now it's a buyer's market.  the only good thing in akron is the university, that i have to agree with.  cleveland has cleveland state, john carrol university, case western university, and kent state not too far away if you have continuing education concerns in your profession.  we're a pretty decent bunch here, i've lived here all my life.  the weather can be pretty yukky, but i'll take 2 ft of snow over hurricanes or earthquakes and wildfires any day!

If you have a degree in chemistry you'll likely make top dollar in Houston. I lived there ten years and, if I weren't tied down by real estate, I'd live there again. Summers are in a class of their own (people who say Chicago/Iowa/whatever have rough summers just have no idea...) but there's hardly any winter.

You'll get snapped up by any of the oil companies. I worked at Shell-Bellaire Research for about 9 years and it was a country club.

You're 3+ hours by car from new Orleans, 3 to San Antonio and Austin,  SW Airlines goes all kinds of places for next to nothing.

I live in Atlanta now.

It’s a little more than you asked for but I was lamenting and figured I’d just jot it all down. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Daytona Beach, Florida.  If you like palm trees, sun, fun, beaches, beach boys, beach bunnies, bikes, boobs, beer, babes, big baskets, bars, bands, booze and a nice sea breeze, in a party town atmosphere, Daytona Beach is for you.  An exceptional amount of older macho cowboy biker type dudes in pickups and on Harleys.  An equal amount of young (20s-30s) baby girl beach bunny biker chics with big silicone B(.)(.)Bs that dig older cowboy biker types. No real big industry other than tourism and the job base that comes with a town that supports a metropolitan area of 500,00 people. 
As much as the seedy perversions of Detroit and New Orleans remain in my heart, it cannot overwhelm my desire to remain in the beautiful coastal cities of Florida
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sarasota, Florida – Besides a lot of job opportunities and cheap living space, the BDSM and swinger scene is incredibly lively for such a small area.  Between Sarasota and its kinky northern neighbor Tampa
, there is ALWAYS, a BDSm event to go to on a weekend and if you are a swinger, it is physically impossible to attend all the parties. 

Unfortunately, people live in Sarasota until they are 19, then they go off into the world to get a real job somewhere else.  At 90, they come back to die… often behind the wheel of their car at a traffic light.  The sidewalks roll up at 9pm.  It seems like there are very few in Sarasota between the age of 19-90 basically.  Nonetheless, all this “old money” wealth has made this sleepy little town a cultural epicenter.  They have 5 ballet companies, 3 theater houses, and several worthy companies of actors.  There is always a worthy play, opera or ballet on any given weekend.  Also, of the 3 planetariums in Florida
, one of them is located here and there are several museums and aquariums.  Including the Ringling museum.  I was heavily into BDSM and the arts… it was fun for me when I lived there.  All my partners were imported.  In 11 years there I never once found suitable local slave. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mexico City, Mexico
– big, dirty, lotta’ traffic.  Zona Rosa is big fun.  A pretty girl I new who was a Playboy model said she has to carry her dress and shoes in a paper bag when going out and change into them in the ladies room or she will be robbed of her clothes. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Acapulco, Mexico – Stayed in a mansion on top of mountain.  I didn’t get to get the pulse or the flavor of the city.  I was in the second house from the top and it over looked the bay on one side and the ocean on the other.  I was in my 20s… I remember chasing women and drinking a lot, the sports cars, wealth and mansion helped in that endeavor.  I can tell you that Acapulco
is fun if you are rich if that helps? All I remember was that the night club scene was awesome and beggars made more money than many who were employed. 

– Tip- don’t go in the water, they lie about how many tourist are eaten by sharks.  The hotels dump there trash in the bay.  It attracts sharks and they lose over 5 tourists a month to mysterious “undertow”.  That’s over 60 people a year killed by sharks that the local government covers up in order to keep the tourist coming back!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cuernavaca, Mexico – It sucks the big one!  The city/town absolutely sucks.  Boring, stab me in the eye with a fork just to shake me out of this sleepy backward cliquish little town hypnotic trance.  Although it sucked, it had some of the finest restaurants in the world.  I am no armature when it comes to food.  My cousin is a saucier, my best friend was a chef at some 4 star restaurants in New Orleans and invented a dish or two in his time.  I have eaten over a 1,000 meals in hundreds of 4+ star restaurants in my many years of dinning out.  I have taught the chef at Tiffinay’s to make butter fried scrod so it is crunchy and top it with hollandaise sauce and served with eggs Benedict… just so I could say I have eaten breakfast at Tiffanies.  LOL  I have eaten at Commander’s Palace (N.O) an dmy father brought several bottles of rare wine to serve with a special meal they designed just for our party.  Mario's in Detroit
was still serving my dad’s recipe for a seafood casserole last time I went there.  I grew up hanging out with my dad and and Chuck Muer of the Charlie’s Crab chain (his daughter was hawt).  The point is, I know good food and this little town was extremely disproportionate in its abundance of 4&5 star quality restaurants. 

Anyway, The entire area was stinking rich, bunch of German Nazi’s hid there after the war and brought there wealth with them… and some of the finest chiefs in the world.  It sucked for me and it was small consolation that I was stuck in another mansion on a mountain that overlooked the valley with a devoted slave.  It rained every day at 3 oclock.  We had 2 pools, and I lost my mind with boredom. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Isla Mujeres, Mexico – Awesome little island. It used to be cheap before the government spent 5 billion dollars on the president’s cousin’s property to dig a trench and cut off the peninsula to make it an island… they now call it Can Cun.  Total Mexican mafia deal going on there.  Anyway, the island just north of it is Isla Mujeres.  The Cave Of The Sleeping Sharks (as seen on Cousteau), some Mayan ruins, a coral reef nature preserve, a ¼ mile long school of white snapper (as seen on Cousteau) and several other diver’s delights.  Loved that place.  Lived for for a summer or so with my slave.   Had a boat, dive gear, cars etc.  It was awesome fun.  There were enough tourist to keep fresh meat on the bed for me and my little huntress of a slave.  It was kind of fun. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
New Orleans, Louisiana – 2 years of total debauchery and sin.  One of the only places in the USA I would go back to with out hesitation.  Food, sex, perversion, clubs, music, culture, a real city with a heartbeat that could be felt deep in her cunt!  From the Cajun countryside to the 90% gay French Quarter downtown… there is something for everyone in New Orleans
.  Those people had heart, they had faith, they had fun.  I can’t imagine they haven’t dried that place out and put the zest back into it. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dallas, Texas
– Strange place.  Very urban, very gentile.  I spent a year or so there long, long ago.  I imagine it is not the same now that is sprawls out further than the eye can see.  Spent time there in the 5 years with some clients.  It seems like a booming metropolis choc full of fun…  and kink. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Detroit, Michigan – Motor city bad boys rock!  This town has more heart than a lot of places twice its size.  As anyone in the music industry where in all the world, in any country, where oh where is the best place to put on a rock concert that will rock the house, shake the stands, put the audience on its feet, and bring the adrenalin to a heart pounding peak.  The answer is Detroit
city.

I pay homage to my old hometown even though the economy has it with one foot in the grave now.  I was lucky and had money.  I partied regularly in NYC and Chitown spending weekends there often… even as far back as in my teens.  I was lucky and was in to BDSM in my teens.  I saw the NYC & Chitown underground.  They didn’t have anything we didn’t. Detroit is one kinky fucking place.  There is more BDSM than you can shake a dick at in that city.  I loved it!  The music, the food, ethnic areas like Geeektown and Mexican Vilage, then endless list of kinky bars/clubs/dungeons, the events, concerts, car races, boat races, sports (not the Lions, they sucked)… that town has heartbeat and it banging! 

 
I know the economy is pretty bad right now and T-shirt slogans have gone from, “Detroit, where the weak are eaten” to “Will he last one out please turn off the lights.”  However, my ex slave julie just got back and says the downtown area has been revitalized and the place looks like it is on the rise.  We shall see.  I hope it recentralizes and blossoms once again.

hi ya impish,
 
i have only lived in california, except a brief 4 month stay in Daytona Beach, Fl. many years ago. RSSir's description of Daytona is what i experienced also. (well, except i am quite sure, i rode on the backs of alot more Harleys than he has.)
California is geographiclaly diverse. i have lived in all of them. the redwoods which are awesome, the desert, not to my liking, the central valley where agriculture abounds as does the stench of cow dung. i have lived on the coast in san diego, delmar, newport beach, and santa cruz. i thought santa cruz was awesome...the ocean and redwoods combined until i moved to Humboldt county....Humboldt will always have a part of my heart.
i now live in orange county...it is expensive over crowded and well....i know i will not live here the rest of my life even if i can hear the firewoks at the "happiest place on earth" every night at 9:30pm.
have you checked out the Austin area in Texas? i have considered moving there. plentiful jobs, cheap housing, lots of water, no state taxes.
may you find your bliss at your next location.
