Money Magazine provides the list of America’s best places to live, leading with Louisville. No not Louisville, Kentucky, silly; Louisville, Colorado. It’s a list of the best small towns.
Some towns nestled along the Rockies are full of pretentious eco-hipsters. Not Louisville. Ice cream shops dot the historic downtown. Families grab burgers at the cozy Waterloo Café. A Friday-night street fair, with a beer garden, live music, and games for the kids, runs all summer. No wonder this down-to-earth town has appeared high on Money’s Best Places list before–and on many others.
The Louis in the Colorado town’s name is pronounced like the Louis in St. Louis.
Among the seven Rocky Mountain states, only Colorado with two and Utah with four have towns in the top 100.
You have to look close but the list is for the “Best Places to Live Best Small Towns”. These are towns with a population less than 50,000. I seem to remember Albuquerque doing well on the U.S. News and World Report “Best Places to Live 2009”.
And if I would have read your first paragraph you mentioned that. Hits head against wall.
