Morristown, NJ
The Morristown Green - a wonderful park in the middle of town with a fountain, memorials, and of course, greenery! It's a great place for all residents of the town to relax, bring their kids, etc.
Lots of free concerts - In the summer, the Mayo Performing Arts Center hosts free world music concerts on the Green. A church downtown has free concerts every Friday two months out of the year.
It's actually a town - Morristown is a real town, very walkable with shops, restaurants, etc. You can definitely get by without a car here. I work in town and walk to my office almost every day!
The food! - Morristown features a ridiculous number of restaurants of all sorts of cuisines. We have great Asian, Indian, and even Persian food, as well as some of the best bakeries you'll find!
County seat - Morristown is the county seat so you can always get an in on government, politics of the day, etc. Beautiful County buildings as well.
Expensive housing - apartments are really expensive in town and there is a lot of high-income luxury housing.
Gentrification - those new apartments have gentrified the town a bit.
Power outages etc - Morristown has a history of power problems, perhaps because the power lines run underground. There was a small fire at the Courthouse and a very large one at the Library which destroyed half of it (still being repaired).
...that's all I can think of!
