Answers from Ben

If you could choose, what city would you most like to live/work in? Why?

Atlanta is a good city because I am very familiar with Georgia. However, any city is open, especially Chicago, Washington, D.C., and New York metro areas. Living in those cities is good, but I am willing to travel to any area.
