Man, Minnesota is awesome!

Rochester is a beautiful town so it's no surprise it took the top spot on Livability.com's list of best places to live in 2016.

According to the list, Rochester took the top spot for several different reasons.  Obviously, they've got incredible medical facilities.  The Mayo Clinic has an incredible reputation and brings in people from around the world.

The article also cites the school system as being fantastic.  Rochester is also drawing many new residents because of the affordable housing.  The city is also drawing in huge numbers of new businesses.

Last year Madison, Wisconsin took the top spot but Rochester pushed them back to #3. The only other city to crack the Top 100 was Edina, at #22.
