Happy Holland

This just in...I live next to the second "Happiest Town" in the USA.....Holland, Michigan.

Although Boulder, Colo. came in first and Honolulu, Hawaii landed third in the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index -- based on answers gathered from more than 350,000 phone surveys nationwide -- the communities aren't getting as much attention as Holland. How exactly does an area such as Holland and Ottawa County end up on a top 10 list? Mayor Kurt Dykstra's response “We are part of a community that truly cares for one another. Holland is also “in a very beautiful part of the world.”


A news crew from ABC's "World News with Diane Sawyer" spent most of Wednesday in Holland working on a story about how the Tulip City landed at No. 2 in a happiness survey.
