For the ambitious folks who left their small towns to pursue their dreams in big cities: do you now yearn for slower paces, cheaper rents, and cleaner air? ⁠ ⁠ Across the US, you’ll find dozens of smaller cities that offer all the trappings of a small town—tree-lined streets, plenty of opportunities to use the word “quaint”—with enough culture, bars, and restaurants to keep up with the big boys. ⁠ ⁠ From Merced, California, to Eau Claire, Wisconsin, you’ll be able to pack your itinerary with gorgeous hikes, award-winning brews, knock-out restaurants, quirky art shows, and fun things to do that go far beyond antiquing—whether you’re just passing through or considering another big leap.
