TOP TEN
Asheville (NC) has a population of about 70,000, but this mid-size city ranked No. 1 on a list of the most popular places to live in 2007, that according to Relocate-America’s annual top 10 list. The site attracts visitors in the process of relocating and helps them do the research before they move.
Stevens Point, WI made it in at number 7 and believe it or not Chicago was number 4….yes, Chicago, IL. Now I don’t want to pick on Chicago but everyone I know from there wants to be here; just ask Schultze!According to Relocate-America it starts by “asking visitors for nominations, which describe some of the characteristics of the cities, including people and neighborhoods, the beauty of the area, schools, activities, economic health and environmental health”. The R-A staff adds some other criteria and voila the list is complete!
Well, the staff in Michigan may be a great bunch of folks but they need to expand their search to smaller markets. The Hayward area is the place to be for fresh air, pristine waters, towering forests, activities and friendly folks. We didn’t make it but being in the “small market” also means occasional traffic lights and quiet surroundings. I’m headed home to the lake to listen to the loons!
Enjoy…..Life is Good!
