The most awesome small towns are...

I love Chicago. It's majestic (Millenium Park, the lakefront), and intimate (small, kick-ass storefront restaurants) at the same time.

Still, there's a part of me that would love to try living in a Mayberry-esuqe place. Where the local bakery would serve a perfect peach pie and an indie coffee shop would brew some of the finest morning fuel.

And, of course, you'd know all your neighbors -- who would always wave.

So, Budget Travel has named the Top 10 Best Small Towns in the U.S., including Lexington, Va. (pictured) and Tubac, AZ. Though I've been through the latter, I nevered realized that in addition to the incredible views, there are all the qualities I mentioned, as well as world-class art galleries.

Who knew?

Here's the full list:

But here's what I want to know -- what's great, cool, quirky, about your small (or big) town?
