There are times that I really love my town… Summers are great here — beautiful beaches, great places to walk (sidewalks everywhere) — a fun and vibrant downtown shopping district… and well, pretty much when it isn’t snowing I’m ok with it.

But until yesterday I had no idea that I was living in one of the happiest places in the United States. We were featured on ABC News last night… see for yourself!

Even with the economy the way it is (we may be living in a “Norman Rockwell era”… but we are not oblivious to our 16% unemployment situation), the people that live around me are optimistic. We believe that things can’t be this way forever (nor will they be)… and we believe that by investing into people — just like the news piece effectively says — that we can bring out the best in them and they will strive to be the best that they can be.
