It doesn't have the nearby attractions of all the suburbs listed, but that's also kind of a selling point, that it is it's own little city by itself.
And white trash? C'mon. It's just a small Iowa city with 30,000 students and a beautiful campus.
Ames has a very small area that I would consider very nice, and small pockets here and there. But overall, that town is scummy.

But it's a ****ing mall. How could it possibly something a city can be proud of?
Hey, that's great. Walmart employs a lot of people too, but not too many towns brag about having one.

The common blanket view of people is that Vegas, California, East Coast, Florida is ALL good looking people, and I'm sure that is true to some extent. I haven't been to the East Coast, but to be honest w/ you I saw the most beautiful people out of all my travels in Minneapolis and in Colorado. Most would probably not expect that.

I'm sure there are studys on this kind of thing, but aside from college towns, no where I've ever gone I've really noticed a huge difference...except in the South. I'm not saying KC is the mecca of hotties, but it isn't as bad as people on the coasts and urban legends make it out to be.
My boss is from New York and he lives in San Diego and I asked him who had better looking women. He said they both have good looking women just San Diego has them everywhere. I believe it was Forbes but I could be mistaken listed Miami and San Diego as the best looking people. You can throw a rock and hit a hottie here. Only problem is, they know they are hot.

To be honest, Im not a huge fan of Orange County to begin with. Its just Yorba Linda struck me as pretty ghetto. More Montebello then Huntington Beach.

And it's not about what Chicago has, it's what Chicago and many other cities don't have and that's the brutal winters.

I'm not really knocking it, I just find it hard to believe that 5 of their suburbs are really in the top 20 places to live in the entire country. Heck my friends that lived up there couldn't wait to get the hell out of there and bailed the first chance they got. That's not exactly a ringing endorsement for a city.
Ive never been to the twin cities except for flying through and I hate them because of it. You have the Mall of America and you still have to have a damn mall in the airport. I had to run for 20 minutes just to have a smoke break in between flights. Not cool.

How many airports are there where you can smoke inside the secured area?

What Walmart do you know employs 11,000 people?

If there was such a thing, I doubt anybody would brag about it. Look, it's fine, enjoy your monument to people paying too much for bullshit they don't need. Just don't try to tell me that it's a reason to think Minnesota is a great place to live.

Norman dropped from #6 in 2008? I can't believe Stillwater ranked higher. Stillwater is a shit-hole.

Probably a distribution center?

Springfield isn't bad as far as the bars and downtown scene from what I remember during my trips there to see bands. Doesn't beat Fayetteville, though, mainly because we have a major university here. We also have a badass arts scene.

I want to bulldoze every politician, illegal alien and radical liberal into the Pacific Ocean and start California over.

Such potential. So much fail.

I've been in Seattle and Portland for vacation this week and it's absolutely amazing up here.
Weather, food, activities. Not crowded.

The great northwest is where it's at. Just ask Mr. flopnuts
