Thanks everyone for the great input!
I see that I do need to add a bit more background info that I had forgotten.
I prefer cooler temperatures, around 75 degrees normally. 86 and up is getting too hot. Autumn is my favorite season.
I like a city atmosphere, but would not like to be be in the center of one, just outside of the city would be my best preference. Nothing too rural or out in the middle of nowhere. A good distance to lots of fun activities and important facilities, such as hospitals and grocery stores.
Wanting a location where I can have a creative type of career.
It may still be another year before I can save up and move anywhere or start traveling. Looking for lots of information now to get a good plan started and to map ideas.
Those are some really nice picture links, Lucifer. ^_^
Looking at more of the info, I am really taking a liking to Portland, Oregon.
