OMG, you are so right about Maine. Our son went to MMA, and while attending a parents' function, we took some day trips inland. So very depressing when you get back off of the coast.
The drive to Leesburg, and the city itself, make me sad. Not so much Ocala, for some reason. My perspective has gotten skewed because of the cleanliness, serenity and lush landscaping here.

I lived in Oahu a couple of years and it's nice if you're loaded. My wife was there for grad school and our 400 sf apartment on University Ave. might as well have been in Omaha, since it had about the same amount of scenic splendor. Everything is also very expensive; going to the grocery store was painful.

I lived in far northern MN and ND and was very happy in both places. Now there's your peace and quiet.
