Rochester ranked 67th

Money magazine released their “Best Place to Live in America” list this morning. And Rochester, MN did not rank very well on the list. Rochester was ranked on the 67^th place on the small cities category. I mention this because last night as my wife and I were driving back to Rochester we looked at the sign that is on the side of the highway that was put there when Rochester occupied the frist places to live in America back in the 90's, and as I was reading it (to myself) I said yeah right. Then my wife and I starting talking about how much Rochester has changed. I know maybe I have not been here long enough but it just doesn't feel the same. I know it is way better than other “small cities” but it seems that as the years pass Rochester is just becoming just “one place to live in”.
