[UA] A place to start my UA campaign

If a landlocked city is acceptable, might I reccommend Nashville.  There's a a university of Tennessee campus, Vanderbuild university, plus a couple of bible colleges.  A reasonable occult scene (mostly wiccan) and alternative religions are ultimately more acceptable there than Catholocism.  Additionally, huge Jewish community (good for putting in wierd gematria/kaballah stuff).  There's big music business, so real money and business (the kind Alex Abel would keep an eye on).  There's also a lot of forested areas so you can have back woods scenes.

If you don't like landlocked, try Detroit (great lakes).  You have the capitol of the rust belt (until two years ago the murder capitol of the US--Oakland finally beat it recently).  There's a large cuban/carribbean black population (or at least there used to be) that gives you voodoo.  There's a few universities in the area, and the economy is totally depressed:  Creates desperation.  Desperation can attract otherwise normal people into the occult underground.
