Greetings from balmy and insipid Atlanta, GA, home of precious little of interest to the tech industry, especially compared to CA. But it's good for telecom - that's why I kick around.

Mountain View is boring. Strip mall architecture at its best (or worst). Nothing to do there except work, and I hope you like driving, b/c you are going to do a lot of it. At least in the biggest east coast areas (nyc/boston/w d.c.) you can get fine without a car, and public transportation gets you almost everywhere.
Sex life will suck ass (if you are a straight single guy). When you introduce yourself to girls, you are yet another engineer as the other 100 she met last month.
I guess there is a real reason that post card has a dude in front of the computer. That's how your life is going to be.
I there is really nothing romantic about Mountain View. I honestly think weather is the best asset of the area.

Yes I have heard Mountain View is boring but I am more looking forward to the working part of it. I have several areas to choose from that are more fun e.g. San Francisco. The companies out west are far better for someone like me though.
We recently moved to Palo Alto. I was standing right outside our offices and saw Steve Jobs riding his bicycle down the street.
