Best place rated -- Greensboro-style

A few weeks ago we asked readers to tell us what the loved about living in the Triad.

More than 150 people responded, which we think is pretty decent. A good writer will tackle the subject in our Life section on July 3. But here's a sneak peek at a few results leaked to me by a source close to the survey tabulation.

* People love the outdoors, the city's parks, the weather, the seasons and the area's proximity to the coast and mountains. While we're at it, they like canoeing, hiking, walking and cycling.
* They love the friendly people, the ability to get there from here, and the small-town appeal (except, presumably, those people who say there's nothing to do around here.)
* They love the new stadium and the vibrancy of downtown.
* They love the diverse population and culture.

Nothing especially shocking, but for us, sometimes it's worth taking a breath and considering the value of a place. Greensboro rates pretty high.

Is that the ghost of Porter Wagoner behind the register at Beef-Burger?
