Apart from finding a good coffee shop and activities-on-offer because of geo-location. I would look at potential employers around and see what (tech based) jobs they offer. And how I fit into place if I have to stay long. To write this: I have been living in relatively small town for few years and only in last year I have paid attention to employers around.
