New York Sucks trying to find a new location

[Gregory Craig]

I'm currently living on Long Island, NY, and I work in New York City about 2 hour commute each way.  I'm trying to find a new location anywhere in the country because New York is stressful.  I'm trying to find a community where it family orientated and diverse.  My community I'm currently living in doesn't have much family activities unless you have significant extra cash to take my children out somewhere.  Around mid December, I want to travel to look for my new location.  Please, if anyone have any suggestions where there are a lot of family activities with a family orientated neighborhood.  

Thank you,

Greg
