So I grew up in Boston until I was 13/14, then my parents moved us to Virginia. I had been here ever since, except for the past year, where I went back north to Boston for work. Though I was busy a whole hell of a lot because of work, I did manage to find some time to go out and have fun, and meet some really great gay guys in Boston. Wouldn't have traded my time there for anything.
I had to come back to Virginia to hang with my best friend, who has terminal cancer. I'm not sure what sort of time she has left, and right now, she is spending a lot of time with her family, so I don't get to see her often, and in my down time, it has me wondering... When all is said and done, what's next? I know that's a horrible way to look at it, but the mind wanders when it's bored...
I've thought about going back to Boston, but I know a lot of people who have been to San Diego, or who have actually moved to San Diego (my ex included...not that I would ever move there just for him or with any hopes of restarting that). But all I hear are good things about the west coast and how great SD is. Even my other, straight best friend loves it there, and I don't think he'll ever leave.
So my question is, who here has been to, and around, the gay scenes in both Boston and San Diego, or who has lived in both places, and likes one or the other in general? What do you think is the better choice?
