America’s Best Place to Raise a Family

// July 5th, 2008 // Brad's Life, Fishers, House

According to Forbes, the best place in America to Raise a Family is right here in good ol’ Hamilton County, Indiana.

http://www.forbes.com/2008/06/27/schools-places-family-forbeslife-cx_zg_0630realestate_slide_21.html?thisSpeed=15000

Located just north of Indianapolis, Hamilton County tops our list with impressive scores in nine of our 10 categories. Aside from mediocre air quality, Hamilton offers eight quaint communities, a terrific school system, a short commute and low crime. The average home price of $200,000 is a steal compared with Marion County’s $901,900.

Hat tip to Keith for the story, although we all know the real reason for the ranking is Fishers, not Noblesville.

Brad Jinxed ourselves today by mentioning travel luck lately. Delayed, missed connection, lost upgrade and 2 hours late getting home. But, 5000 free miles. Delta knows how to keep me happy. :).

Brad Just caught a fly in the air with two fingers. I thought my wife would be impressed, but she was just grossed out that I had a dead fly between my fingers. Tough crowd.
