    Methinks they didn't do a simple measurement on that one...

    Plenty of folks must want to live in 29 land, according to today's Star, the population of the county has gone up over 40% just since 2000.

    But Derek Daly lives in Hamilton County (per the article) and it still made #1. Ozaukee Co., north of Milwaukee, #2. Lots of guys from work live up there.

    LMAO.

    What Noblesville needs is College Park crackheads and East Point homeless for some solid Fratty street cred. Toss in some connector grid lock in Westfield and the 2-9 would really rockagonia...

    Fulton isn't even the best county in Atlanta, let alone Georgia (and for sure not the US).

    Well, hell, at least I live in #3.

    (Although the comment about lower standardized test scores is just plain off-base...)

    I only wish that an icon existed to let me know the 29ers really are No. 1.

    But I'll do the old Steve McQueen No.2 (just pretend as I'm too lazy to dig out the photo).
