HOW SMALL TOWNS ON THIS WEBSITE ARE CLASSIFIED

The towns listed on our website fall into four categories.

Approved List

Towns that we have visited and recommend to our viewers. A star () next to the name signifies this town earns our highest recommendation.

Candidate List

Towns that we have researched and/or recommended to us by others, but we have not yet had the opportunity to visit.

Disqualified List

Towns that we have visited, but do not meet our standards.

Hall of Shame

Do not stop in these towns unless you experience 3 or more simultaneous flat tires. The Chamber of Commerce sign painters have apparently misspelled ‘Hysterical’ as ‘Historical’.
