Big City Life

If you could live in any Big City in the world FOR ONE YEAR , where would you choose?

I would choose New York City!!

I'd love to live in Florence (Firenza) Italy for a year. That is THE most beautiful city in the world...

I stay away from big cities as much as possible so I wouldn't want to live in one.

I grew up in NYC, and still live in the area. I think I'd like to live in San Francisco for a year. I was there once years ago, and I loved the weather and the hills, and the views! ( I loved being on the Pacific coast) There was still all the arts I am used to available, and the city doean't close at midnight.
Also so much variety is in driving distance.. A year there would be grand ( just no earthquakes, pleasse!!

I guess it ould be New York in the states. So much available to you in the arts and history.\Somewhere in Italy if overseas, same reasons as above, probably Florence.

I already lived in a big city, don't want to go back anytime soon. Give me my little country town with only one street light in town any day

I live in NYC so they don't get much bigger than that but if I could go to another "city" I'd either go home to San Diego or San Juan, PR

I grew up about 50 miles from Los Angeles and don't like big cities. New York would be nice to visit but don't think I would want to live there for a whole year. I like rain and cool weather, so Seattle would be my choice.

I would pick a city in Maine.

I'm not a city girl, though.... but for just a year, if the situation was right, I'd probably love it.

My dh and ds would love to live in the city. My dh always talked about living in the city of Pittsburgh. His brother used to live in NYC and he has some crazy stories of when he would visit him.

To visit, great!!! .... to live, no way for me!
