Personally, I love where I live--Louisville, Kentucky. A lot of people I've met who come here for the first time say that Louisville is one of the country's best-kept secrets. It is a city of contradictions--rural and urban, Southern and Midwestern, big and small. It is very affordable, as well. For instance, I live in a one-bedroom apartment that is of no mean size that is just a few blocks away from the city's best bar/restaurant neighborhood, and pay less than $500/month. The only real downside (at least in my mind) is it's definitely not a pedestrian city, and mass transit isn't what it could be. Other than that, I think it is the best place to live. It's the kind of town that's big enough to where you can go to the grocery store and not run into a dozen people you know (like the town I grew up in), yet small enough to where strangers say hello and people feel safe walking at night. Louisville also ranks like 3rd in the nation for restaurants-per-capita, and has some good schools.
The respondent rests. :-)
