    Decatur Can’t Register As a “Best Place to Live”

    Decatur Metro | July 13, 2009

    For all the grief I give city rankings, I sure do spend a lot of time talking about them!  You might as well just add “hypocritical bloggers” to the list of things that apparently make Decatur an un-best place to live.

    According to Money Magazine’s 2009 “Best Places to Live“, Decatur isn’t even worth mentioning.  While Peachtree City ranks 8th in the entire country (?!) and Suwanee ranks 35th, Decatur can’t even manage to be acknowledged as one of Georgia’s less deserving “Other Cities.”

    Truth be told, Decatur has never registered, which makes me think it’s more an issue with how Money is classifying “places” (Atlanta and “North Druid Hills” register, but Decatur doesn’t) than an actual critique against the city.

    But that sort of post doesn’t a good blog make.  So, cue my artificial exasperation.

    Golly-gee!  Peachtree City?!  Apparently a horribly long commute doesn’t hurt your ranking.
