Sacramento residents will be pleased to know that we've been given top honors in a completely obscure, meaningless contest that will change absolutely no one's life. But hey, awards are fun. We've been voted a top "chill" city by Bailey's, the maker of the liqueur. What this means, I don't know, but the company based the whole thing on the amount of opportunities for people to hang out. Apparently our coffee shops and parks sealed the deal, and I'm pretty sure Concerts in the Park played some kind of role.

The irony of this award is, of course, that I can't imagine anything worse than drinking a Bailey's and coffee in the park when it's 107 degrees.
