I liked the area, but it was becoming far too expensive and Fort Collins started turning into Boulder.

My wife and I lived in an apartment in downtown Boise before then. We move in around 2014 and rent was $650... they were asking for $1200 when we moved out in 2019.
Californians can sell a small home for more than a million and come here to buy a house 3x the size for half of what they sold their house for. I had a neighbor move in and he’s redone the roof, new paint job, new windows, new garage door, new appliance, installed a basketball hoop, redid the landscape etc etc. on the biggest house on the street. It’s really concerning as a local resident... we all plan to move out your way, sorry man!

I don't now, nor have I ever lived in Cincinnati, so I'm not biased. It is a pretty city when you see it from certain angles though (Pittsburgh is the same way). These all sound like throw away remarks, but it seems Ja'Marr was taken aback by some of the views of his new home.

You're taking your life into your own hands if you meander into the wrong neighborhoods after a night of drinking over there, lol.

He thought it was going to be all farmland and horses.
The 2 things I miss the most since I moved to Michigan are (1) Skyline Chili and (2) the view when you pass through cut in the hill.

You have to adopt a certain mentality around those parts or you get chewed up and spit out.
It's funny, when I moved to Michigan, some dude was staring at me in a parking lot, and I was getting myself ready to throw down. We get closer and he's just like "hey man, how's it going?"
I had to work the Covington out of me.

It's a beautiful building that's huge and built like a fortress, as many of those old houses are. It's value has gone up a lot in the last few years and there's a ton to do in the neighborhood. You could almost be fooled into thinking it was a nice place to live if it weren't for being able to see a crack house out the back window and the fact that the house next door was most recently occupied by tweaker squatters.

1. Cincinnati, OH
Cincinnati is the best city for college grads in our 2021 list, finishing seventh for affordability and tied at third for fun. This city has the eighth-lowest median monthly rent ($660) and the 12th-lowest cost of living ($19,713). Cincinnati also has the seventh-best Yelp bar scores (3.98). And though not as high a finish, the Queen City still ranks 26th for job score, a top quartile finish.

Probably because I see it so much. Some people can’t believe their eyes when they see it. Pretty funny.
But I grew up though with my Mom and her side of the family in central WV till I left for college. (Always had to fight off the stank of all the Shittsburgh - and strangely Stains- fans in those parts...)
But my wife is English, and we've lived outside the States for 10 years or so now, currently in the UK...
Hands down, her ALL-TIME favourite local sign/landmark she's noted on our vast global wanders is the FLORENCE Y'ALL water tower.
God Save the Queen City.
