Two years ago, I posted an entry entitled Find Your Spot in which I listed my top places to live as chosen by my answers to questions on FindYourSpot.com

I decided to take that quiz again. Lots can change over two years - job, age, opinions and feeling on issues, overall mindset, etc. I wanted to see if my “perfect places” to live had changed as well.

Drum roll, please…

• Hopkinsville, Kentucky
• Walla Walla, Washington*
• Morganton, North Carolina
• Mount Airy, North Carolina*
• Paris, Tennessee*
• Wenatchee, Washington
• Hickory, North Carolina
• Berea, Kentucky*
• Maryville, Tennessee*
• Hendersonville, North Carolina
• Charlottesville, Virginia*
• Bremerton, Washington*
• Johnstown, Pennsylvania
• Abingdon, Virginia
• Jamestown, New York
• Whidbey Island/Oak Harbor/Coupeville, Washington*
• Metaline Falls, Washington
• Easton, Pennsylvania
• Clayton, Georgia
• Port Townsend, Washington*
• Culpeper, Virginia*
• Sequim, Washington
• Fredericksburg, Texas
• Littleton, New Hampshire

First thing I noticed was that the list didn’t seem to change all that much. There are 10 that appeared in both lists (marked by *). That’s a little less than half. But of those that differed, many of the new spots are still in the same state as one’s they’ve replaced in the previous list. The biggest difference between the two lists is the removal of all the Alaska locations. (Could this be due to the weather we’re currently having? ) New to the list are locations in Texas, Pennsylvania and New York.

As with the previous list, I’m still mainly clustered in Washington state (7 spots) and the Mid-Atlantic region (Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky - 11 spots).

I guess things haven’t really changed all that much. Wonder what the results will be in two more years…
