Zanesville is getting some recognition on the national stage for being named one of the most charming towns in the United States and Canada.

Betway, an online casino and sports betting company, set out to find the most and least appealing small places in North America. The motivation for the study was based on the trend, according to USA Today, of people moving to less populated locations.

Researchers analyzed several metrics including Instagram search volume, positive sentiment, number of parks, number of landmarks, number of museums, and number of art galleries to rank the towns.

When the calculations were complete, Zanesville, Ohio, was slotted in the No. 4 spot of most charming small towns in North America and rose even higher to second place of the most charming small towns in the U.S.

Every time I see an alphabetical list of U.S. cities you guys are always near the bottom. So I just figured you suck. But you always beat out Zionsville, Indiana, so you got that going for you, which is nice.

Zanesville use to be a big manufacturing city, but today - you're right - it sucks!

I know Zanesvills for 2 things. One is driving past it in my travels, especially the first time and this:

The Zanesville Massacre.

A lunatic who kept lions and tigers let them all out, and they had to be shot.

I remember it very well.
I can still hear the gunshots standing on my porch,
not knowing what was going on!

I probably should start my own thread about "The Zanesville Massacre"
