If you're going to be doing d20 - I highly recommend picking up Monte Cook's World of Darkness. He's already done a fantastic job of converting the Mage magic system to d20. He also has some really great spins on Vampires and werewolves that could fit into a Dresden game as a new, previously unknown supernatural baddy. While reading through it I saw that the magic system in particular could easily be dropped into a Dresden campaign, almost unaltered. I'm probably going to end up doing the same thing myself.
More in line with the original topic, My Dresden Game will either be in Central Pennsylvania (Outside of Pittsburgh, Altoona, State College, Johnstown - Imagine what the Johnstown Flood did to the supernatural community.) Or West Palm Beach, Florida. Pennsylvania gives me a ton more options than Florida, I think. I don't know of too many paranormal stories that have come out of Florida, but i only lived there for two years. Pennsylvania has loads and loads of Forest, the Appalachian Mountains, leylines for sure, and all kinds of weird stories. Florida has swamps and sand and hurricanes and lots and lots of buildings. (Imagine what Mr. Sells could have done if he pulled magical power from a hurricane instead of a thunderstorm :P)
MatthewD44:
FL could be used for the pirates, fountain of youth myth, native American stories...
Soulless Mystic5523:
The fountain of youth could be alot of fun to play with. I can see all kinds fun things to do with it eitehr existing and being jealously guarded, or not existing, but people still looking, and having to deal with the supernatuals that are looking as well.

Pennsylvania has Native Americans too, something I'm definitely taking into consideration for any future games and my in-the-works stories.
Pennsylvania would, i think, end up being a lot more fae and nature based. Florida I could see being based a whole lot more around vamps - especially reds and whites. Palm Beach and Miami practically scream White Court HQ, very close behind Los Angeles. THAT would probably be choice #1 for them.
Lanodantheon:
Running DF games in any part of New England or around the Southeastern U.S. allows for use of material from a recent event (Relative to the Wizarding World), The American Civil War. Sometimes I wish I still lived in Jersey so I could mine that adventure material.
