Not Virginia.
Unless of course you favour shiny flatbed trucks with Bush/Cheney stickers and a church the size of Walmart on every corner.
Don't know anything about Atlanta. New Hampshire is a friendly state.

Sorry to get off topic, it's just that I hear this comment about Lance now and then and I just don't get it.
And yes, everything I've read about Austin would put it in my top 5 places too.

Re: friendliest towns..
Sounds like Boulder would suite.
A man decided to write a book about famous churches around the world. So he bought a plane ticket and took a trip to Orlando, thinking that he would start by working his way across the USA from South to North. On his first day he was inside a church taking photographs when he noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read "$10,000 per call". The man, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what the telephone was used for. The priest replied that it was a direct line to Heaven and that for $10,000 you could talk to God. The man thanked the priest and went along his way.
Next stop was in Atlanta. There, at a very large cathedral, he saw the same golden telephone with the same sign under it. He wondered if this was the same kind of telephone he saw in Orlando and he asked nearby nun what its purpose was. She told him that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 he could talk to God. "O.K., thank you," said the man.
He then traveled to Indianapolis, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Boston, and New York. In every church he saw the same golden telephone with the same "$10,000 per call" sign under it. The man, upon leaving New York decided to travel out Midwest to see if western states had the same phone.
He arrived in Colorado, and again, in the first church he entered, there was the same golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read "40 cents per call." The man was surprised so he asked the priest about the sign. "Father, I've traveled all over America and I've seen this same golden telephone in many churches. I'm told that it is a direct line to Heaven, but in the east and south the price was $10,000 per call. Why is it so cheap here? The priest smiled and answered, "You're in Colorado now, son it's a local call".

I'm not so happy that he left his wife and their three young children (the youngest twins) and then took up with Sheryl Crow. He is one helluva bike rider and athlete, and yes, has raised money for cancer. The little wristbands are now being used for all sorts of various causes -- white ones are currently being worn by the UK music community to help makepovertyhistory.org .

All I can say is that if I were only judged by the worst thing I had done, everyone would hate me. We all make mistakes; some worse than others; some more permanent and less 'fixable' than others. I don't worship Lance, but I am inspired by his wins in a sport largely ignored by Americans.
