Ten Best

1. Texarkana, TX/AR – “Twice as Nice”  – Short, memorable, and to the point considering it’s a twin city split by a state line
2. Metter, GA – “Everything’s Better in Metter” – Very catchy
3. Knox, IN – “Where opportunity knocks” – Punny and perfect for economic development
4. Dubuque, IA – “Masterpiece on the Mississippi” – Also memorable
5. Loveland, OH – “Sweetheart of Ohio”  – Good play on Ohio being the heart of it all
6. Hershey, PA – “The Sweetest Place on Earth” – Self-explanatory, tho may be getting a tad dated
7. Talent, OR – “Our Name Speaks For Itself” – Logical and cute
8. Gas, KS  – “Don’t pass Gas, stop and enjoy it” – Very cute and funny
9. Ault, CO – “A Unique Little Town” – Innovative
