I vote for Iowa City!

This just in:

"'Kiplinger's Personal Finance' ranked Iowa City 10th in its top 50
'Smart Places to Live' list. The rankings are based on cost of living,
homes, crime, health care, climate, environment and education."

Is Iowa still an overwhelming white state, or is it finally starting to look
like the rest of us? If so, what new industries are providing the jobs for
all the newcomers? After all, it really can't take to many people to grow
corn.

Primarily "Affordable Homes".

Albuquerque? Health Care, crime, environment, education...?

I'd stack Montrose up against ANY in that list. I notice many in that 'Top
50' are downright _armpits_! :~(

of course the best airport to fly is the closest one.

it's not like us non-pilot enthusiasts wander around looking at airports

but http://www.airnav.com/airport/KAUW is definitely for airplane nuts.

Elko Nevada, too.

Wendover, Utah has a (FREE) very well done museum in the FBO. The field is a
GIANT museum piece, too. g

[Upcoming Wendover Trip]
We're on the, "sorry full," waiting list for a June [$99/person RT + three
nights + no extra taxes or fees + ride to hotel ...EVERYTHING] flight into
Wendover Airport - on the Nevada state line.

We could do the flight out of MSP or Eau Claire, WI for $199 per person, but
that's just not as fun as getting it for $99 - even if we have to drive to
Sioux City, Iowa or Sioux Falls, South Dakota to get it ....300 miles [+-]
to either city.

Sounds like a lot of driving but MSP would kill almost 2 hours anyway. Small
town ...land, get in car, drive home. Parking might even be free at FSD and
SUX!! Money we'd save driving and flying out of SUX would go toward a rental
car on the other end. We'd drive over to Salt Lake City this trip. :-)

(Map + prices ...I hate playful websites!!!) Sioux Falls, South Dakota and
Sioux City, Iowa are very near the SW corner of Minnesota. Map is
misleading.

Flying into Wendover Utah/Nevada is very much like landing on the Bonneville
Salt Flats - ocean of white, with a runway on it. "The World's Fastest
Indian" BSF speed course is on the other side of the freeway from the
airport/WWII airbase.

MSP - Minneapolis/St Paul (Lindbergh Terminal) has a replica of The Spirit
of St Louis hanging from the ceiling, but it's on the far end of the
building and few people see it. Charles Lindbergh was born and raised in
Minnesota.
