More On Places We Live

[plumtreeblossom]

Congratulations, residents of Malden, MA. Your city has been deemed by Business Week to be the best place in Massachusetts to raise kids in 2009. It happens that I have a lot of Maldenites on my f'list, and my boyfriend used to live there, so I thought this was interesting.

All of the other 49 states' Best Places are there, too. All of them are communities of 50,000 or more. A good read for me, since I'd never heard of some of them. Ha, it nicely validates my side of my ongoing teenage arguement with my parents, who believed that children were optimally raised in the middle of nowhere.

So Maldenites, um, get breedin'!

I'm surprised. Malden is okay, but there are other places with better schools. On the other hand, we're way more affordable than most of those places; maybe affordability was factored in somehow.

I'd prefer not to breed, so please don't jinx me! :-)
