Money Magazine Top 100 Places to Live 2009
Money Magazine today issued its annual list of best places to live, surprising quite a few people by naming Superior, CO, as its number one place to live.
The writers at Money said they picked Superior because of its picturesque location, budding family-friendly entertainment and how well the town has survived the economic downturn. I’m a bit torn about this year’s number one, though. I’m a native Coloradan, who wouldn’t stop in Louisville to empty my bladder on the side of the highway.
To most Coloradans, Louisville is just another in the myriad suburbs between Denver and Boulder. No one goes there and very few of us actually know anyone from there. Also, unlike Louisville, KY, this Louisville is pronounced Lewis-ville by everyone. The only people who might refer to it as Luey-ville are out-of-towners who don’t know any better. And just about everyone in Colorado avoids Loisville like the plague. This article will probably bring a lot of new out-of-state tourism to Louisville, but I highly doubt anyone from in-state will be moved to make the trip, especially since Denver and Boulder are both right there.
Superior, CO, another suburb benefiting from its position between Boulder and Denver also made the list. See the rest of the top 100 below.
