Want to Live in the Best Place?
U.S. News and World Report just released it’s 2009 list of “10 Best Places to Live” … a list most communities would love to make! The magazine explains this year the list was created based on thrift,
We looked for affordable communities that have strong economies and plenty of fun things to do. The cities we selected are as distinct as America itself—ranging from a quaint suburb to a live-music mecca.
Did your town make the best dressed best place list? If you live in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Auburn, Alabama, or Austin, Texas then yes! If you live in Atlanta, Georgia or Anchorage, Alaska, then no. People from Boise, Idaho, Durham, North Carolina, and La Crosse, Wisconsin have much to celebrate! But I’m sorry to see my own Nashville, Tennessee didn’t make the cut. The magazine also loves Loveland, Colorado, San Luis Obispo, California, St. Augustine, Florida, and Upper St. Clair, Pennsylvania.
I’ve actually visited Austin several years ago and fell in love with the entire area. I’d move there in a heart-beat if given the opportunity! Also, New Mexico and Wisconsin are two of my favorite states so I was very pleased to see them make the list.
