2 Ga. towns tops for families
BusinessWeek.com released its top 50 places to raise your kids and Atlanta is not one of them. But two Georgia towns did make the list.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
BusinessWeek.com published recently its top 50 Best Places to Raise your Kids. The list was based on finding the right combination of safety, community and education. It used five criteria: test scores, cost of living, recreational and cultural activities, number of schools and risk of crime.
Two of the towns are right here in Georgia - Patterson (which is near Savannah) was No. 50 and Franklin (which is 65 miles from Atlanta) was No. 35. I’ve never heard of either of them - sorry towns!
Here is the link to the story and the list.
What do you think of the choices? Do you happen to live in Patterson or Franklin? Have you ever visited them? Tell us why they are so great!
Do these lists affect your perception of your own town? Would you ever choose a location to move to based on this type of list? Would you seek employment in a town that was rated high or if you happened to end up in one just feel good about it?
