[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 678479, member: 18958"] I am a politics junkie. On TV. So everything the last few weeks has been Iowa. Because the Iowa caucus is tomorrow. So I have been hearing that Iowa is progressive, particularly Eastern Iowa. (I have never been remotely near Iowa except once at the Chicago International Airport for a stopover.) Well, I am a progressive. So all of a sudden, Iowa got way more interesting. I googled: most beautiful towns in Iowa. And I found too small cities on the river, LeClaire and one other one. (Mind you I have never been there.) I looked at pictures. They are beautiful. Absolutely stunning. Full of art galleries, and historic downtowns with cafes. All kinds of recreational opportunities. Not far from both Chicago and Madison and Milwaukee. Now, you may live in Iowa and know how absolutely horrible are these places. But to me they looked like paradise. And others seem to agree. These places were rated very highly as places to live. With cheap housing. I am saying this to make a point. This is doable. We can just pick ourselves up and go do a life makeover. There is nothing at all stopping us. Except us. Every state in the union I think has inexpensive places to live that are highly desirable. I live in California where the cost of living, in general, is high. But there are many communities here that are gorgeous and stunning, with all kinds of recreational opportunities. Even on the ocean. That are not expensive. I almost forgot to add that. I say, go for it. At least start the conversation. We have been planning for two years to go cross country. And at the same time we keep digging in here, with more and more responsibilities. Still I do not let go of the idea. COPA [/QUOTE]
