I've thought of Arkansas.
I don't know much about it, except that it's the base of my employer. Of course, that's a draw for me, actually, and from the few looks at it I've had via cross-country drives and a few HGTV shows, it looks like a place I might like.
When I say move to a college town, I'm not talking about living in a place between two monster fraternity houses and dealing with 18-year-olds puking on my yard every night.
But a place with a little land outside of town that's a 10-minute drive to all the cool aspects of a college town, some nice golf courses, places to go hike and maybe fish a little bit? That's a dream to me.
That's exactly what I'm doing ... even if I'm not close to being retired. It has its charms, the novelty also wears off after a while. The key is not taking things that are cool - wider variety of restaurants, cultural opportunities - for granted. Saw an art house movie weekend before last. That ship was definitely not happening in my previous locale.
