The little town that wasn't
It always amuses me the way we take pride in being named on a list. Even when it isn't in the top 3, or 5 or 10. the Media feels it is worth a mention. Our neck of the woods got a distinct honorable mention as 28th most livable city according to Money magazine which bestowed the honor on Wexford. There is one small hitch
There's no mayor of Wexford, no Wexford Borough Council, no "Make checks payable to Wexford" on tax bills.
Apart from the small fact that Wexford isn't a town after all, but a zip code covering bits of Pine, Franklin Park, McCandless and Marshall. Not being so rude as to wonder about just what data Money used in making its pick, Pennsylvanians just smile and accept the compliment.
Three other Pennsylvania towns cracked the top 100: Blue Bell, Montgomery County, came in 14th; Hummelstown, Dauphin County, ranked 61st; and York, York County, was 95th.
Four out 100 isn't bad, even if one is the little town that wasn't.

political subdivisions do not constitute a place or a town.
Wexford is very real. Just go there. It preexisted the NA school District the PineRichland School district Bradford Woods,Franklin Park as a Borough or McCandless as a Town. By that theory Atlanta doesnt exist except as the three seperate and distinct counties in which it sits
