We know how to pick 'em!

(Click the title above to go to the original website for the stats.) Just got a copy of the Stevens Point Journal article of May 17th about the top 100 cities to live in the US! (Thanks Jen!) Numbers 5, 6 & 7 have Ebel's in 'em. Not bad!

However, we in Asheville are so used to being in the top whatever, and are now suffering from such severe overdevelopment, that we cringe whenever we see Asheville on another list. I'm tempted to make up business cards that say "Asheville: You Wouldn't Like It Here." Of course, you in Wisconsin are blessed with long, deep, cold winters to help keep the riff-raff out. And by riff-raff I don't mean just the ne'er-do-wells, but those who develop an area with no regard for the natural beauty that makes an area so attractive. Over here, we're killing the goose that laid the golden egg.

But, we can still be grateful we all live in such nice areas!
