Best cities in the South to live in your opinions?

I'm set on moving down south once I finish college. I've lived in a northern city my whole life and I'm just tired of the cold weather, the dying economy, the high taxes, the jobs being lost, etc. But...I have never been down south so I'm looking for some advice from people who know what they're talking about. So, based on all your knowledge and experiences, what would you all say would be the best cities to move to in the South? Thanks for your advice.

1. If you want a big major city with over 1,000,000+ either DFW or Houston.I would say Pheonix but its really hot there and they have to pump there water from other places because it has limited water supply and droughts. A medium sized city with 500,000-1,000,000 Atlanta GA. (great if your African American), Austin TX., Denver CO. A smaller city 200,000-500,000 all the Tennesee big cities, Waco Texas PS: dont move to Luisianna because all of those cities are ugly and trashy
2. move to Key West, since you're young. Atlanta is good for young people so is Miami and Austin, TX. remember that the South is part of the bible belt. the economy is bad all around the US Denver is not part of the South
3. I would think either Houston, San Antonio or maybe Tulsa.
4. If you like smaller cities, Chattanooga, TN is one of the prettiest places around. Surrounded by mountains, rivers and lakes, it offers 4 seasons, but no drastic weather. It is within a couple of hours drive to major cities such as Atlanta, Nashville, Birmingham and Knoxville. but without the traffic. An added bonus in today's economy, Volkswagon is in the process of building a new plant, so the job market might not be so bad as in other areas when it is completed.
