I have some vacation time left with my current job, I plan on using it to check out a few of the cities mentioned here. Ideally some place with something to do, after all, it is vacation.
I like the idea of a "gay ghetto" (or as I prefer to call it, a gay village) because it is easier to meet people. Considering that I likely won't be familiar with the city, it just makes things so much easier at first. I think I will check out NOLA or Atlanta first. What neighborhoods should I visit (again, gay village...sight seeing I will look up).
As far as the pay/cost differential. Here is an example: Boston actually pays about 2/3 more than what I get paid in Philadelphia. But living in the Gayborhood of Philadelphia vs downtown Boston is not terribly different in cost. What I'd make in a more remote locale would be higher but you can lose the perks of a major city.
Just curious: do places like Omaha and Kansas City have large gay populations? I always think of the west coast and the east coast.
