It's a bit confusing to me how they do this. Â I mean, Papillion is not a "standalone" town as a place such as Fremont or York would be, so is it possible to judge it by only what is within its own city limits? Â Since it is a suburb of Omaha, what it has is a part of Omaha, and what Omaha has is really also a part of Papillion.... they mention "lack of arts and culture", and sure that could be true within the little area of Papillion itself, but being a part of Omaha in almost every sense, then there truly are arts and culture in the area. Â
I guess I never like it when people talk about- and rate- towns that are suburbs on their own merits because to me those types of towns really are not independent as a place such as Fremont or York would be... if I lived in Papillion I would refer to myself as living in Omaha, with Papillion being nothing more than a reference to what part/section of Omaha I live in. Â (and don't get me wrong, that is a good thing)
But anyway, this is good news for the Omaha area!!
The list was just expanded to 100 places on CNN Money.
I think it needs to be retitled "The 100 Best Places to live if you want to live in a suburb or the country." Â There wasn't anything resembling a city on there. Â Pretty lame, especially in light of the "con" of Papillion lack of culture and arts.

Because it had a population grouping of 7500 to 50,000

Papillion also moves to #1 on Money Magazine's "Best Places to Raise a Family and/or Elect a Mayor Who Will Use Your Tax Dollars with the Permission of the City Council to Silence the Assistant He's Been Shagging":

I think the problem was that she wouldn't put out. Nothing worse than rejection, loss of job, 200K lawsuit. Whatever happened to the days of a simple "no, and don't ask again, creep"?
