Here is an actual link to the site, Sperling's Best Places, for the rankings of 331 metropolitan areas...

I just went to the Sperling site and found the list of 331 ranked cities. Was just very curious about Texas cities...
WELL!!!
Bryan/College Station ranks #13 on their list, followed by Austin/San Marcos at #22 and Abilene(YAY!) at #32.
(Don't tell them, but they would change the Abilene ranking if they visited MY neighborhood. Meaning, it would plummet so fast and hard you would not believe...)
