I tend to think the good outweighs the bad in my small midwestern town.
Best
Little town with plenty of little bars and shops within walking-distance. University across the street with substantial amenities including multiple libraries and gym facilities. Natural areas and wildlife preserves surrounding the entire town, which are breathtakingly beautiful and littered with wildflowers. Short drive to three major midwestern cities.
Worst
Over-run with partying undergraduates all but 3 months out of the year. There are no mountains but there aren't any mtnbike-friendly trails even if I wanted to do some trail riding. Icy rather than snowy throughout the winter.
