What I've heard about Alb is that it is similar to Denver but with more character. More like what Denver was 30 or 40 years ago. I could dig that. Everything you've mentioned about Alb sounds really nice to me. I only give Denver the slight edge because we would be closer to family and because it's already very familiar to us--as I say, like a second home town.
Walla Walla is in Washington near the Oregon border, inland a ways. It's a nice artsy community in the heart of wine-making country. Very small, only about 30,000 people, but also very enlightened, green, liberal, all that, from what I hear. Very supportive of the arts. About 4 hours from Seattle and Portland. In other words, it beats the hell out of where I am now.
