Downtown Vancouver for 7 years (all cities tend to suck for me, but if you have to live in one, Vancouver is one of the best).
But as an avid sport and touring motorcyclist, I got the hell out of the city every chance I could. Spent a lot of time around your neck of the woods, and have good friends in the Castlegar/Nelson area, which I really love.
Software company I worked for went bankrupt end of 2012, so I took a job in Malta, but that company went under a year later, so now I'm back in Florida due to financial necessity.
And though all my family has ended up here from parts north, I'm not a fan of Central Florida. No winter. No mountains. No poutine. No Tim Horton's. Same amount of Canadians.
