Just did a GIS project on this. Based on population/economic strength/quality of schooling ratings, here are the top five states:

Washington, Colorado, Rhode Island, Maine, Vermont
So trade that typical for something colorful, and if it's crazy live a little crazy!

Depends on what your looking for. Regarding your interests. Do you like the outdoors? Fishing, golfing, hiking, mountain biking, ect. Do you like warm to hot weather year around, enjoy seasonal weather, cold winters?

Illinois pretty much sucks, lol. If I could, I'd leave this god forsaken state and relocate myself.

Edgar Cayce pointed out that the safest place in the future to live is Ohio..........

He must have been thinking further than the late 60's and Kent State...



So who is Edgar Cayce?

I remember reading a lot of Cayce when I was young..and the Ohio thing stood out is all. :)

I'll have to keep my eye's peeled for that one Indy. :)

Lightstream...the Pacific Northwest is something to also look into.
