Arvada Makes The List
Sometimes I think that Arvada gets a bad rap for no reason. I mean, yes, it’s a suburb – but it’s pretty darn close to the city. And yes, it’s sort of quiet – but quiet can be nice, right? Anyway, I was SHOCKED to see that little ol’ Arvada made it onto a pretty big list today – CNN Money’s Best Places to Live for 2010. Wow!
Here is what they said:

WINNER Top 100 rank: 58 Arvada is the place where gold was first spotted in Colorado in the 1850s, and the town holds an annual Gold Strike Festival to commemorate the event. But residents can also boast of striking gold in choosing this appealing town just outside Denver. Arvada’s downtown is on the National Register of Historic Places. Residents can roam the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities, a cultural center that houses three theatres, two floors of gallery space, and a museum, plus studios and classrooms. Though its population now surpasses 100,000, Arvada manages to retain a small-town feel and strong sense of community. So that’s cool. |
