I'll second housepig's recommendation of the Twin Cities, and add that I had a very successful six years in the tech industry here. Our winters are more impressive than you may be used to, but our summers aren't quite as brutal... That said, I'd maybe live in Portland if my parents didn't. If public education is a concern, look carefully at OR -- when I was in high school there (a dozen years ago, much may have changed) various ballot initiatives had gutted school funding by limiting property taxes. Whereas in Minnesota, you can't buy beer on Sundays. I guess people are stupid about something wherever you go....
It's an obvious target for attack, but the Cornelius hospital (80,36) is quite strongly barricaded and currently has about a dozen humans in it, one of whom kindly patched me up a bit. Not much undead activity in the area, and it's a quick hop from Maggs. Gotta pick up more band-aids from somewhere eventually...
So Urban Dead was enough to get me to pipe up on Mofi, after lurking for some time and a few years on Mefi. Now my account's been validated, but the UD server won't go. Anyway, fuggle is currently in Sprackling bank, venturing down from Dulston, with some first aid kits, more ammo than he knows how to use effectively, a baseball bat, and a heart big as Texas. See you soon, I hope.

In "The zombie dots have evolved!"
There was a guy on my old street corner who used a remarkably similar one...

Has anybody noticed that it gives you the option to use first aid kits on barricades? I tried it on a lark, and "That doesn't seem to work."
