Every year money magazine dows a list of the best places to live. The list can get quite redundant so they often mix it up a little. This year they’re covering the 100 best small-ish towns and cities to live. Or in their words:
For this year’s list we focused on smaller places that offered the best combination of economic opportunity, good schools, safe streets, things to do and a real sense of community.
So this year it’s official – we live in the 84th best place in the country.
Yup, I’m living it…
…sigh.

I noticed they listed Apple Valley as #28. That’s just down the road ~2 miles. Got me thinking. I wonder what would happen if you combined the best of Apple Valley and Beavercreek? What would be the end result……
Beaver Valley! Now that sounds like a place where I would like to live. :)
In western PA, just outside of Pittsburgh is Beaver County (just down the road from Moon).
You can visit the Beaver Valley Mall there and Shop Beaver Valley. :)
What’s really funny is if you’re heading west out of Pittsburgh on the Parkway you’ll find a point where the signs above the highway direct you to exit for Moon and continue straight to Beaver.
Which to choose, Moon or Beaver? I don’t think you could possibly go wrong with that one. :)
I think the obvious choice is to make a stop in Moon before continuing on to Beaver. ;)
