Excluding Pittsburgh I'll go with Clarion PA.   Mostly because of the good memories of going to school there.  Nice quiet town, good place to raise your family if you can find a job that's not 50 miles away.

I have to be biased and say the city I'm currently living in. Lund really has the most things I could want out of a city.

There's really only two things that I see as down-sides and that's the boring landscape surrounding the city (too little forest and hills) and that it's so expensive. House prices are about four times what it is in the town where I grew up not even an hour north of Lund, but I guess that's what you get in a popular place to live.

How is this obvious? Kingston is rather boring...

Lots of history, but rather boring

I chose to limit myself to the places I've been to and kinda know well. I really liked Kingston, even if it would probably be terribly boring to actually live there, but I like most towns of its kind on some kind of lake and some old downtown part.

NOTL is probably boring too and I would never actually live there, but I wanted to put something in the Niagara region on there, and since the city of Niagara Falls is pretty horrible...

Prince Edward has Sandbanks, which is pretty awesome.

The whole Georgian Bay area is quite beautiful. I especially liked Manitoulin Island. But my true love in this province is Northern Ontario. Except North Bay, which is a dump. But the area around it is beautiful.

I wish to agree with that. Georgian Bay area is georgious (except downtown Wasaga Beach). Parry Sound/Muskoka, too. Inland Simcoe isn't through, through Barrie is good for a city of that side (I expected much worse). Northern Ontario is great through, but not North Bay and I have pretty bad memories of Kirkland Lake/Virginiatown. Timiskaming Shores is good.

Northern Ontario begins at North Bay. Gateway of the North. Anything south of it is Central or Southern Ontario.

Been a long time since I was in Pittsburgh, but if I'm ever there again I'll get in touch with you.

I'm quite aware of that, I was just covering various areas I know.
Also, Niagara Falls is a tourist trap.

True, but to a Torontonian, Barrie is considered Northern Ontario. For an Ottawan, it begins at Pembroke Tongue

I'm a severe homer. Pittsburgh is my favorite, but outside of that, Hershey and Erie were fun stops as well.

My favorite town in Washington? Hmm...among major cities to visit, Seattle, of course, but among places I'd actually want to live, it would have to be somewhere on the north-to-central Puget Sound/Salish Sea and be of relatively large size. Honestly, I like anywhere on the water from Marysville through Shoreline. Mukilteo and Edmonds are especially nice. Further north, I also rather like Anacortes and Bellingham. Going inland, Bellevue and Woodinville are alright; I generally like the extended Seattle suburbs in any direction except south. The South Sound is not somewhere I like to go.

If I had to pick somewhere in eastern Washington, Spokane (especially the South Hill) and Walla Walla are both tolerable. The Wenatchee-Chelan area is nice too, though I wouldn't want to live there.

A close call between Lawrence and Olathe, with Osawatomie a close third.
