Breaux Bridge was listed as Louisiana's Prettiest Town. (Pronounced "Bro Bridge.")
In an earlier post I described Breaux Bridge's quirky phone book that listed subscribers by nickname; probably a unique practice as phone books go; but very useful in a place where plumb everyone knows your nickname.
If you like, you can find the place that they consider the prettiest one for your state and others. This sight has them listed by state; so you can go forward or back in the alphabetical order. (Click left for Alabama through Kentucky; right for Maine through Wyoming.)
However, there is a reason to question the criteria that MSN used to select these 50 allegedly prettiest towns for each state. For example, the article lists Gatlinburg as Tennessee's prettiest town. Frankly, it's a tourist trap. Admittedly, not as tacky as Pigeon Forge; but it's tacky enough. Being surrounded by verdant mountains does help; but still, it's like putting lipstick on a pig.
How did it do with your state? Was MSN on target or totally clueless?

Cape Girardeau, Missouri is an old French trading post that has been kept up. It's far enough away from the big city that it hasn't been affected over the years.
If I go to Breaux Bridge, do I have to see a guy named Nick to get a new name?
Carmel CA & Paia Maui are pretty nice.....
Fairhope is the prettiest town in Alabama.
