Yesterday morning we walked down to Crema for a pastry, some coffee, and the Sunday New York Times. I knew there was a profile of Bert, the head researcher for BestPlaces. I didn’t know it would be plastered across the front page of the real estate section. Pretty cool.
The article was a pretty good overview of what we do at BestPlaces and has some pretty glowing quotes. I hadn’t heard this story about how Charlottesville reacted to being named the Best Place to Live in 2004:
The president of the chamber was so proud, Ms. Uriss said, that she had bumper stickers made up that proclaimed, “We’re the No. 1 City in America.”
They’ve slipped to number 17 this year, after their housing prices doubled.
“I guess we’ll have a lot of bumper stickers left over,” she said.
