Hooray, Charlottesville is Number 11

Posted on March 27, 2009 by Jim Duncan

Another day, another day on a list for Charlottesville. I can’t tell whether Forbes means “Charlottesville (City of)” or “Charlottesville/Albemarle” …

Either way, we’re number 11 in the “Best Small Places for Business and Careers”

    Does anyone know what the criteria was to be listed as a “best” large or small company? It just seems funny that Forbes could rank the metro area as a great place for business and careers, but then also suggest that they’re are no good places (large or small) to work.

    Why do they make these lists? Here’s mine for “best fruits”:

    1. Apples
    2. Oranges
    3. Bananas

    That was easy. Not sure why there is money in reducing very different towns and cities to statistics. Like that “Best Place to Live” title a few years back. Best for what? And for whom?

    Pointless. They only do it to sell magazines and make people feel good when their city gets a number. If you want a number you can always go to the barbershop.

    Mark – I agree 100%.
