Rankings like these are all bull shite that some intern makes up to justify their summer position with a media outlet. If you enjoy where you live, don't worry about this shite.

this. I live in Temple, TX. It is boring AF. no major nice eateries. no major attractions.

but it's incredibly safe, low cost of living, good schools, no traffic, nice trails, great set of lakes, and a great place to raise a family.

i've met a few people that were here as young adults and said it was lame, conservative, and terrible for singles. they were all now in Austin. i asked them to continue to spread that message far and wide that Temple is a terrible place for anybody that valued culture. i personally loved that article that circulated a month back about the guy that moved to Austin, hated it, and moved back to CA.

i love it here and have no desire to leave. let the coastal people have their rankings and wank off to them.
