Searching for a new city

In the pipe dream that is my fantasy, we shall find a city meeting the following requirements.

1. Deciduous trees and snow in winter.
2. A Whole Foods or similarly stocked grocery.
3. A Penzey's within an hour.
4. Decent Farmer's market
5. Near a major hub city (local 4-year university a plus)
6. Large body of water (river, lake etc)
7. good schools (I really won't home school them no matter how much I bitch)
8. infrastructure that allows for adequate police & fire
9. less than two empty storefronts in the downtown
10. located in a "blue" state to supplement my "green" tendencies

PS
I would like a wind farm to generate the power, as long as I am dreaming.
