One more thing... about a ranking where we aren't No. 1

...before the weekend | Nov. 15, 2019

We have the best city, but let's not rest on those laurels

After so many years of being rated the No. 1 city in the universe, it took us a little time to digest this new-to-us ranking from U.S. News & World Report.

We gasped a bit, we swallowed the bitter pill, and we started digging into the metrics. Verdict? We have room for growth in several areas. And we're not burying our heads in the metaphorical beach sand.
