Ok so it's not the #1 best city to live in but #4 isn't so bad... Money Magazine just ranked the top cities to live in the US and my home town of Vienna, VA was #4! Check out what they said about my town here...
Let me know who's city made the list...

Bainbridge Island Washington!!! okay.. so its not my home town exactly... but my dad works there and we have friends and relatives that live there... and Chris Kattan fron Saturday Night Live went to high school there... but I don't know him...

No where near... :( I did find out that I tend to live in cities of 100,000 population, umm so that's... interesting.
Posted by: Defpol | July 12, 2005 at 07:38 PM

Wow. Those stats make Austin look bad :(

Bainbridge island is #2 I didn't live there, but I grew up fifteen minutes away from there. I couldn't really tell the difference between the two places anyway, except the whole island thing. But I lived on a peninsula, so I was only five mile stretch of land away from island. good times.

oh and another my aunt's hometown Naperville, IL made 3. Boo Yah!! lol j/k
Posted by: Mike | July 13, 2005 at 12:27 AM
I live 10 mins from Naperville, IL. Little pricey for my taste, but everything they said was right on the money (especially the traffic...bleah :P).

Damn... I am almost sure Lake Chelan Washington used to be on this list.

i wouldn't put a lot of stock in that list. i live in Greensboro, NC and they didn't rank my city but they ranked Durham, NC #92 which has the highest murder rate in the state. I think it ranks the highest for violent crime in general as well.

i forgot to mention the other reason why Durham shouldn't be on the list is that Duke university is there too.
GO HEELS!

Sioux Falls, SD I believe was #84.
Was sad that we were so far down the list this year.
Posted by: MerlinTW | July 13, 2005 at 04:12 PM
PTC made #8. And if you read the profile and were wondering, yes, everybody drives golf carts. Mine's pimped out with little chrome wheels.
