Traverse City, Michigan. Nowhere else but there. If/when we ever retire, we will retire there. We've even considered moving the business up there a few times...
It is a wonderful place! Next time you are up in the area drive up the Leelanau peninsula if you haven't yet. Hit up Glen Arbor, Suttons Bay, Leland.... Some great wineries and restaurants and beautiful sights... If Michigan wasn't such an economic joke right now it is a great state to move to but a terrible place to be self employed!
If it where me Greenvile, SC is very high on my list as is anywhere North of Charlotte, NC or Asheville, NC.
Thanks,
Kurt
