Good coffee houses where you can stay for hours
Convenient and affordable places to buy clothes and shoes
Bookstores
(Usually) Friendly customer service
Freedom of driving/Ease of travel
Having a real spring
Variety of good restaurants and good beers
Running in parks and around town, and it being normal
Backyards
College sports

Lackluster appreciation of the arts (by a majority of the populace)
The advertising industry
