Borderline Fantastic

Ft. Myers, FL
5) Only 2 hours from Miami
4) Only 20 minutes from Captive Island - most beautiful beach in Continental U.S.
3) Only 3.5 hours from Gainesville for Gator Games
2) Early Bird Specials
1) Only 15 minutes from the ferry boat that takes you 3 hours to Key West

To avoid 3 responses on Seattle, I’m gonna do my fives on Philadelphia since I lived outside of it for 22 years:
5) Soft Pretzels…I know you can get em anywhere, but they really are better in Philly
4) The cheesesteaks…we all know Philly’s are famous and fantastic
3) Rocky Balboa and his run up the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum. Can’t say I don’t love that song.
2) The Phillies I’ll just admit that I have unconditional love for them. Hopefully they’ll get back to the ‘93/’94 season days soon
1) I’m a huuuge history nerd, so I gotta say it: Its the birthplace of our nation! Declaration of Independence, Constitution, capitol of our nation at one point…lot of good stuff there! haha
Its not the best city ever or anything, but if you’re in the area…check it out sometime!

5) Philly is centrally located, within reasonable weekend trip distance of NYC, Washington, DC, and even Boston. Plus, there’s the Jersey Shore. Possibly most important of all: Penn State.
4) Cheese Steaks - Call them what you will anywhere else, for some reason they are never as good.
3) Comcast Sportsnet - In-depth coverage of all my favorite teams, including post game coverage. Daily News Live, 90 minutes, every day. The fact that its not on satellite could keep me from ever leaving.
2) History/Museums - I went to most of the museums so often as a kid that I may have gotten sick of them. I think its time to go back.
1) Phillies, Flyers, Eagles, Sixers

I’ve finally lived here long enough (3 months) to answer this…
Pismo Beach, CA
5) Close enough to LA or SF for weekend trips, but far enough away from the smog!
4) Lots of great new areas to visit and explore — death valley, wine country, all the stuff in northern Cali, etc…
3) I pass vineyards on my way to work
2) The town has “Beach” in its name
1) I can walk down to the beach whenever i want!
0) Everyone comes out here to visit me (you are invited too!) so i don’t have to go visit them
-1) No Traffic!
-2) Lots of cute, unique, small towns nearby
-3) The sunsets are ALWAYS amazing
-4) Did i mention the beach and NO TRAFFIC???

I guess i like this place better than i thought!
