Condé Nast Traveler revealed a ranking that puts Alexandria among the top 10 friendliest cities in the country, Alexandria Living Magazine reported.
The magazine’s Reader’s Choice Awards survey put the City of Alexandria in ninth place, just above Chicago but below Alexandria’s perpetual ranking rival: Charleston.
The number one city on the list was Chattanooga, Tennessee.
According to the ranking:
With a charming brick-lined Old Town, a beautiful waterfront, and convenient metro access for commuting to nearby Washington, D.C., the Northern Virginia city of Alexandria has long drawn young professionals and families seeking a more relaxed atmosphere than what you’d find in the nation’s capital. Now the tourists are coming to get in on the fun, too, drawn to the great shopping, dining, and arts community (check out the Torpedo Factory Art Center). A big plus: Alexandria is especially dog-friendly, which we think might contribute to people’s overall sense of well-being.
