We’ve had a lot fun this week at Strong Towns promoting the voting for the seventh annual Strongest Town Contest Sweet 16 Round. There’s a hot race in Texas, a tough head-to-head in the Midwest, and the battle is on in the West between Durango, Colorado, and Santa Clara, California. Which town is stronger: Yellow Springs, Ohio, or Salem, Massachusetts?
