Money Magazine has declared Fishers as the best place to live in America.  I had an inkling something was up last week.  Allow me to explain.

I received a message to call someone with a New York City area code.  That alone sent up red flags, so I checked out the person making the contact.  It was Clare Trapasso, a writer for the Web site Realtor.com.  Trapasso’s organization had partnered with Money Magazine on the listing of the 10 best places to live in the United States.

I had received a hint from Ms. Trapasso that Fishers would end up number 1 on the list. She had asked for some comments by me, as a long time resident of Fishers and the writer of a local news blog.

As I have written before, I am not a big fan of these “best of” listings which are by their nature very subjective.  But this number 1 listing is a very big deal.
