40. New England or Colorado.

and NYC, if someone else will pay large amounts of money for me to live in the lifestyle I'd like to become accustomed to.

My ancestors settled in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1636.

I like New England because of scenery and history, my family on my dad's side was from Maine, I lived in Connecticut and went to college in Rhode Island. I also lived many years in the Midwest, and never wish to go back again.

I could see living in Toronto, too.

Colorado is just beautiful, great skiing, and enough cosmopolitan aspects to make it interesting.
