I live in the #1 Best Place to Live in the United States!

Louisville (Colorado, duh) was named the best place to live in the U.S. by Money Magazine. We were #3 a few years ago, but we've moved up the list. I'm surprised it took me two and a half years in Boulder to figure out how awesome this little neighboring town is. I really didn't even know it existed for a while. For shame. Louisville really is the best place to live, and I plan on sticking around. Little traffic, low crime, street fairs every Friday night in summer, fabulous restaurants, affordable rent (affordable to buy, too, I just don't have first-hand knowledge of it!), Colorado weather, and terrific neighbors. What's not to love?

Becoming a member

I just joined the Louisville Chamber of Commerce. Not only does that make me feel grown up (it does!), it also makes me feel like I'm accomplishing something. I'm not sure what yet, aside from the obvious fact that I'm out $260. I stuck the sign in the front window of my house, encouraging people to stop in and check out this Chamber member's business. Well, it might be my house, and having folks stop in randomly would be a little weird, but still...I had to put the sign somewhere.
