If there's one thing we've learned from producing our annual Best Cities package, it's that every city strives to provide community-oriented amenities to residents and tourists alike, to offer quality living beyond the essentials (home, job, education).
Depending on the size of your town, you may find free concerts, area hiking trails, walking tours, artists walks, nature guides, seminars, movie events, museums, exhibits and festivals. How often do you take advantage of all that your town has to offer? We have some resources to help you discover how great your city is. (And you can even nominate it for our Reader's Choice 2009.)
