Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was happy to see this book come out since I only had found the older "Places Rated Almanac" up to this point. I am looking to relocate and so this sort of information is very useful to me. However, I am going to return this book since I am disappointed with the rankings and question the accuracy of the information. I know two towns rather well, and both were mis-characterized in the rankings. Example 1 - Macon, GA: "Snows occurs during most winters." This is simply not true. There was a dusting of snow 2 years ago that lasted maybe a day and a half. Previous snow, 10 years before then. Long time locals tell me that it's extremely rare to get any snow here. Example 2 - Iowa City, IA: IC received a score of 7 for Arts & Culture, Macon a 25 - this is totally ridiculous. There are a lot of things going on in Iowa City, Macon doesn't even come close. To award Macon a score nearly 4 times higher than Iowa City boggles the mind. I know these two places well, and for me the information about these two places puts into question the rest of the information in the book. I hope there will be a revised, and more accurate second edition out. I give it two stars since the rankings/editorial comments are important to me. While I can't comment on the accuracy of the statistics, the rankings/editorials were one of the main reasons for my getting this book. Raw statistics can be used to look up specific information, but the other material can guide your search.
