Best Places to Live 2005
I stumbled across this article from cnn.com last weekend. It is a ranking of the best places to live in the United States. Of the top ten listed, two were in the Midwest. Two of the top ten were in New Jersey. The one interesting thing I think you can do with this is rank your own personal preferences for nine categories and perform a search on these to find your ideal home location. I’m not exactly sure of how they rank these because I had some unexpected results from the criteria I listed. New York City was my number one result. I’ve been to New York City before and while it is an outstanding place to visit, I do not think I’d ever want to live there. However, my number six result was Saint Paul. It must be doing something right because I’m moving about 3 miles from were I live in Minneapolis to Saint Paul at the end of the month! The reason I wanted to share this article because I thought it gave me reason to rank and consider factors important to when choosing a place to live. Everyone should check it out and give it a try!

All of my results are either in New York or New Jersey! My top three were:
1. New York, NY
2. Teaneck, NJ (??)
3. Rutherford, NY (??)
Okay...why not Nashville, Atlanta, Charlotte, Memphis, New Orleans, Louisville, or any other southern cities?
