We’ll take it
THUMBS UP: Hardly a day goes by where we don’t get some press release from an organization that has mined some data and is ready to proclaim your city or state is the best town in the U.S. for ice cream consumption, or for buying car insurance or for whatever the product or service they are promoting. This week we got one from Realtor.com, which declared us to be the most affordable small town in American where people actually want to live. They measured median house prices, of course, but also home ownership rates, unemployment and crime. What really put us over the top, apparently, was the German heritage.
