Lots of great smaller towns in the middle of the country. Usually pretty progressive too if you stay in town.

Fayetteville Arkansas, Salina Kansas. Ames Iowa, Birmingham Alabama. That's a few. There's plenty more.

smaller towns

Birmingham Alabama

That's a fair sight bigger than a town. In fact these are all major cities in their respective areas.

Fair but much smaller than larger metros. Birmingham is definitely a bit large.

I lived in Ames. There's nothing great about it. The local government hates the college, and passes laws that fuck up the town just to spite them. ISU students are more than 50% of the population of the town. All of the apartments rent from August to August. Get there any other month, and your lease goes until August. This means that everyone in town is moving the same day. Worst town I've ever lived in.
