Best Places to Raise a Family

By Chen May Yee  

Children's Health mag has a new list of best places to raise a family. St. Paul ranked 12th and Minneapolis 18th.  

Burlington, Vt. was No.1, followed by Madison, Wis; Fargo, ND; Lincoln, Neb and Fremont, Ca.  

(Fargo? Can anyone explain?)

I love lists so of course this one inspired me to go through all the US cities I've lived in BB (Before Babies) because you know, I wanted tosee if I should have stayed .  

New York is 15th (15th?!), Boston 21st (yeah,but we would have to livein a shoebox...) and Phoenix, AZis 93rd (no regrets there).  

So what did the list compilers consider? 29 "quality of life" variables.
