Clay named 59th best small place to live in U.S.
by Tom Leo

Money Magazine has named Clay the 59th best small city or metropolitan area to live in the United States. The top 100 is published in its August 2008 issue and also is available on www.cnn.com.

About Clay, the magazine said:"A small city in the central part of the state, Clay offers respite from typical New York urban hassles with sprawling flatlands and big blue skies. Low home prices and safe streets make Clay even more attractive. It is also bordered by the Oneida and Seneca rivers -- both havens for would-be fishermen. One caveat: Those who make their home here have to be prepared for long, icy winters."

Criteria for the list included cities or metropolitan areas with populations between 50,000 and 300,000.

The No. 1 place to live, according to the list, is Plymouth, Minn., followed by Fort Collins, Colo., Naperville, Ill., Irvine, Calif., and Franklin Township, N.J.

ADDENDUM

Several people have asked me - don't you live in Liverpool? It's totally bizarre and I don't even pretend to understand it - we live in the Town of Clay, but our post office is Liverpool (or part of Liverpool is in Clay, or something like that). I'm not completely clear about how this works. But I do know that our mailing address is Liverpool, while I recently voted on a controversial Town of Clay ballot question!
