According to this study by CNN and Money magazine, Charlottesville is ranked as the 90th 'Best Place to Live' in America.
It seems that our town is in decline. We ranked much higher than average in property crime likelihood and much lower in education and entertainment opportunities.
The real estate agent that I worked with when I moved to UVA boasted proudly that Charlottesville was always ranked in the top 10 best places to live. She did caution me that she was not fond of that ranking. She claimed that when Charlottesville ranked that high, riff-raff were more likely to move into her beloved town.
This year, it appears that her wish was granted.

Was the implication that you were part of that riff-raff? :)
Also (having now read the list), it claims Middleton is #7. Middleton?? Come on. That calls the validity of the whole list into question. Maybe they just mistitled the 100 most yuppie places to live.
Anyway, I've got to go get into my SUV, drive down to West Towne Mall and get me a latte.
As usual, your comments have made me laugh out loud.
Btw, do they have a drive through to get your lattes? Any excuse to let that SUV run longer and pollute the environment a little more is always great!
