I would take Vegas in a heart beat. Its hot but there is no humidity. The airfare is cheap. I have heard that real estate prices are still depressed. Also I hear there are good pawn shops for when things get tight.

If I remember correctly (I am thankfully beginning to block out the memories), Fresno was a fav for accidental votes in the first cert offer poll.

Fresno's also a gateway to the Eastern Sierra - close to Kings Canyon & Sequoia National Parks, and lots of national forests.

Eugene is home of the University of Oregon and their football team's crazy uniforms.
The Pacific Northwest or the Mountain West offices are my family's dream locations. I was really jealous that Eugene and Spokane were on the last cert because that means they likely will not be on the next cert. To land one of these out of the gate would be pretty amazing. Oh well I assure you that any location on my GAL would get a huge affirmative if Bob ever calls with the good word.
