Great Cities for Raising Families

Kiplinger's Magazine online just published their annual list of great cities for raising a family.  College Station is in the top 10 this year based on job growth, quality education, local attractions/cultural events.  Below is an except of their article with the Pros and Cons for living in College Station. 

PROS: A top-ranked public school system, affordable housing and utilities, safe neighborhoods, solid wage and employment growth, it's about a two-hour drive from Houston, Dallas, or Austin.

CONS: Unvaryingly hot climate, limited local employment opportunities outside of Texas A&M.
