I'm in Tulsa for a few days speaking at the Tulsa Workshop. It is supposed to be 80 degrees today. I know, please pray for me as I endure this time of trial and tribulation. P-Middy and I are doing the keynote together tonight. Should be intersting!
----
Here are my top five favorite American cities based on where I'd like to live (culture, diversity, sports, museums, university access, vibe, friends, family, etc.).
5. New York
4. Dallas
3. Atlanta
2. Nashville
1. Detroit (though I may not always live here, it will always be home)
What are your top five? (Denver just misses out at #6)
Please wait one moment . . .

Top five, eh?
5- Chicago
4- Seattle
3- Detroit
2- Nashville
1- New York
Something about New York... it's on my list of things to do before I turn thirty-- to live for at least one year in New York.
What, no Fresno?
I definitely haven't visited as many cities as you, Josh. But I have travelled enough to get a list:
5. Lexington,KY
4.Washington D.C.
3.Detroit
2.Atlanta, GA
1. Birmingham,AL
All great for different reasons...
5. Dallas
4. Atlanta
3. Portland
2. San Diego
1. Nashville
Most of these are considered bike friendly cities so I would like to experience that.
Emily: New York #1 . . .wow. I don't know. I could do it for 3-5 years but don't think I could do it long term.
Scott, Sorry...Fresno is on the list...not telling which ranking though :)
David: Interesting mix. What's great about Lexington and Birmingham? Been to each . . . don't remember a whole lot.
bikegirl: solid list
Hi Josh,
I was checking in to see if you had any follow up thoughts on the Detroit Mayoral situation? It will probably be a while before Detroit would make your list I am guessing?
What's great about Lexington, you say? They have one of the biggest book stores in America. You can get to the mountains in the Corbin area in an hour. The weather is very moderate. I am a Kentucky Wildcats fan. ;) They have Tony Roma's, lol...
We have friends in Birmingham and have visited many times. I just like the fact that I'm nearby to the mountains and not in a huge city. It's not a bad place for a conservative to live. ;) I like the Birmingham Barons(minor league baseball team).
dang... restricted to america, eh?
5 NYC
4 estes park, co
3 washington d.c.
2 detroit
1 chicago
annnnd world cities just for kicks:

Top 5 (no certain order)

God bless!
I know I'm a little behind the times but maybe if I put this out there Jesus will read it and send me somewhere. That'd be nice...
