hot rod truck Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) I want to live in Indiana. It's the motor sports capital of the world and is chock full of conservative Republican like myself. I have lived my whole life in SoCal and I am ready for a change! Never thought I would see someone in Cali wanting to move to Indiana And yes we do enjoy the good life when it comes to motorsports. I still refer to Indianapolis Raceway Park as IRP not ORP Edited February 27, 2009 by hot rod truck (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndySilveradoSS Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I want to live in Indiana. It's the motor sports capital of the world and is chock full of conservative Republican like myself. I have lived my whole life in SoCal and I am ready for a change! easy killer, yeah Indy has THE GREATEST race tracks in IMS and irp, and salem, and gas city, and winchester, etc.., but the weather sucks donkey balls. This winter has really sucked, lots of snow, cold, nasty.. i want to live in florida or texas, but the republicans have made it hard to make any money in those states, g*dda*n right to work...sorry off subject, someplace warm with a beach and ocean!!!

misterp Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) ... IMO the best places to live in Oregon are in the southern part and east of the cascades (Medford, Klamath Falls, Bend) still beautiful without the depressing rain I was born in Medford, and grew up in Grants Pass. I have lived in the following places - Southern Oregon Seattle/Tacoma Washington area Tucson AZ Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler AZ Albuquerque NM Sonora CA (near Yosemite) Austin TX Stephenville TX (north-central Texas) Dallas-Fort Worth area My father was a life-long rodeo contestant, and every weekend we had to go with him all over the western United States; there is no part of Oregon, Washington, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas I haven't seen. We currently own 40,000 acres in Santa Rosa NM (east NM) and the family leases/operates many cattle operations all over NM and TX. I have gone sight-seeing through the DC metro and eastern Virgina (Richmond) area. I have been through most parts of Nevada, Idaho, western Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and some of Utah. I have recently visited NY, NJ, and PA; I have driven the freeway through TN, AL, MS, AK. I've seen a lot, I want to someday see it all. Many more road trips to take. Everywhere I have mentioned I have family or very dear life-long friends. I feel very fortunate to have a place to stay and warm meal anywhere in the country. THAT SAID - from personal experience there are only a few places I would consider living (in no order) Austin, Plano (where I am now), the more exclusive areas of Phoenix *maybe* (I respect but hate the desert) I'm referring to Chandler & Ahwatukee, and San Diego CA. I would consider living in either Nashville TN or Knoxville TN, absolutely spectacular scenery. San Antonio is a kick in the ass but has a *high* degree of old-world spanish/mexican culture and flavor, and I like it but it just doesn't fit me - you haven't lived until you've been down to the Riverwalk. I dislike OK (sorry!) but hear Edmond and Tulsa are really nice. Places I never want to see again - Albuquerque NM. northern Phoenix (Gilbert area). Tempe/Mesa AZ no-way. Tucson, I went to high school there was the most depressing place I've ever lived. Everywhere in CA is too overpopulated, the CA of today is *nothing* like the CA I grew-up in, I lived there 13-years. West Texas you could not make me live there, or in the panhandles. El Paso scares me! WHY I LOVE PLANO - very good people, very personable. Lots of diversity, Plano and Austin remind me most of my earlier days living in California. Lots of successful people, has a lot of culture - you can see and do anything here from skankiest strip clubs to the larges arena shows and high society events. Great car scene, that's important to me. A working economy, it did not crash anything like the rest of the country so there is still a good cash flow. You can buy a great home in a great neighborhood for $180K-210K; housing & cost of living are reasonable. I LOVE Texas weather, not too cold and rarely does the weather stop you from doing what you want to do. I have come to love the lightning and storms. I'll stop there, I really like it here, as much as I lived in Austin (north Austin is a blast). I'll stop, if you think of a place in particular just ask.

I been to Phoenix but didn't get to spend time to see alot. anyway there is alot of REO bank home for sale at low cost. This something in future I just starting to look right now.
