It seems that Boise, Idaho hits the top of the charts when it comes to places to live, go to school, drink beer - whatever. Boise continues to do really well but this Treasure Valley city deserves a standing ovation. 

Raise your hand if you live in Meridian.

Congratulations! You live in one of the top growing cities in America. Out of 515 cities, Idaho, as a state looks pretty good.

The fact that we need to make it clear means we've got a little more work to do as far as gaining the right attention.
