Ranked: Supposed Top 10 Montana cities to live in
Ace Sauerwein
(KGVO) Don't take this article to heart if your city isn't ranked towards the top, or even worse if you're hometown isn't on the list at all. It's put together by non-Montanans, so what do they know?
Because SOMEHOW Missoula isn't a top 3 city in Montana? I find that to be blasphemy. It's outrageous. It's unfair.
Niche.com, a website that specializes in rankings and reviews, constructed a list of the best cities in America. The top 5 in the entire nation goes...
- Chesterbrook, Pennsylvania (Suburb of Philadelphia)
- Colonial Village, Virginia (Neighborhood in Arlington)
- Ardmore, Pennsylvania (Suburb of Philadelphia)
- Hyde Park, Florida (Neighborhood in Tampa)
- Penn Wynne (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)
Ok, what's going on with all the Philly subs (not the food)? There is no way 3 of the top 5 places in the entire country are in Philadelphia. They don't know squat, but let's read Montana's top 10 for fun joined by some reviews from real residents (spelling errors and grammar to follow).

"I love my town. Dillon Montana is the epitome of small-town life. Everyone is kind to one another; you truly feel safe and comfortable in this town."
