Last month we told you that Budget Travel Magazine was taking a poll to determine America's Coolest Small Towns. Well, the voting is complete and the
results were announced on April 15th. Petoskey did not crack the top ten but we did get 1,338 votes and came in 14th, just behind Port Austin, the only other Michigan town to get votes. The winner, America's Coolest Small Town, according to the voters was Owego, New York, with 24,692 of the 101,622 votes cast.
Kudos to Owego (and Port Austin) but we hereby officially invite everyone who voted, yep all hundred thousand or so of you (and all of you who didn't vote), to come to Petoskey this summer (or any other season) and experience America's TRUE coolest small town. And as evidence, we submit this watercolor, Artists Market artist Carol Rossman Brossard's
Snowy Evening Downtown Petoskey showing a very
cool Lake Street scene.
As for Budget Travel Magazine, you can come visit too. You must not be entirely confident in your results because, according to your website, you are voting again in 2010 and are now
accepting nominations.
Hint, Hint!

Thanks, Marty! Nice to see folks promoting what we REALLY know is America's Coolest Small Town! And Petoskey is lucky to be surrounded by smaller towns that are Cool, too - Harbor Springs with its "All American" appeal on the other side of Little Traverse Bay; Boyne City on glistening Lake Charlevoix (don't forget to stop in at Bali Living Imports) and Bay Harbor, just west of Petoskey where a defunct cement plant became an upscale town complete with yacht club, championship golf and unparalled views.
