Great life?!

Our new town has just launched a marketing campaign to promote living here, the tagline is Mount Vernon - get a great life. I don't know if we have a *great* life, but it's not too bad, all things considered. One of the main attractions for us is that all of the following places are within reasonable walking distance: co-op grocery/deli, 2 coffee shops, 2 used bookstores, 3 pubs, one brewpub, 2 Italian restaurants, 2 Thai restaurants, one Mexican restaurant, the YMCA, the library, the post office, and the hospital. I can't imagine many other places where we could be this close to so many useful locations.

What do you like about where you live?
