On Tomorrows "Today" show on NBC (Wednesday, May 28th), Davis, California will be featured as one of the five friendliest cities in the United Sates.  It was so named in a recent book by NBC contributor Barbara Cook entitled "Nextville: Amazing Places to Live the Rest of Your Life".

Davis has been known as a bicycle friendly town and has received national, and international attention for it's progressive housing developments. In the late 1970's and early 80's, First Lady Rosalynn Carter, Prince Charles and French President François Mitterrand visited the Village Homes development in west Davis. President Carter later mentioned the environmental strides of Davis in an Oval Office speech.

I review the other unique qualities about Davis in my list The Top Ten Reasons to Live in Davis. It looks like I might have to add #11 to my list....... "One of the Friendliest Cities in the US".
