My town is number #60, which is fairly respectable for the midwest..

Is it DMB that lives in Naperville, IL?
...The #2 city in the country.
It is nice, but a bit too far from the Big City for me, and the downtown can get a bit congested. Still... I like going there every now and then and taking a stroll on the Riverwalk.

I'm not one of the automatic List-haters, but with Columbia, Maryland at #4, I'm throwing this one out the window. That place should be fumigated based on street names alone:

Broken Land Parkway
Autumn Rust Road
Hemlock Cone Road
Wild Filly Court
Red Bandana Way
Chariots Flight Way

You can go out and find one of the polls where they rate all the major international cities and the United States usually does fairly poor.

Sugar Land is number 3?!!?

wtf? How can anyone suggest with a straight face that living in or adjacent to Houston is a good thing.

Maybe they just read the name of the town and had like a homer simpson moment.

mmmm....sugar......

also, more Houston hating, did anyone notice that Houston got #3 skinniest town? Is that a joke?


my town got #74 overall
#14 in most educated
#5 most singles (hey ladies...)

fort collins is ok, but #1 in the nation? not sure about that.

i live close to westminster (about a mile or 2) which is on that list too (for some reason).

Example No. 56 why this poll is wack...Number one city in Tennessee was Murfreesboro. That town is nothing but strip malls, THREE Super Wal-Marts for a town of 86,000 and chain restaurants with a half-assed university (discostu = MTSU Alumnus) and one cool music venue/print-shop/record store called Grand Palace. It's a no-culture stain of a town.

Wow. Virginia Beach is #6 of the top ten best big cities. I work in Virginia Beach. I don't think it's that great.

I am sorry, but this list is kinda lame because there are like 15 cities in MI. No one moves TO Michigan. They either were born there or move away. I mean, come ON! :)

well, i would easily rather live in denver than colorado springs. i'd rather live in boulder than fort collins too, but that's because i'm a pot-smokin, once-a-month-bathin hippie liberal at heart. and westminster doesn't really have its own scene/culture.

bung.

can anyone speak for parsippany NJ? we're thinking of moving to NJ (mostly northern NJ like monclair) and i just thought i'd ask.
