  1. No such list, Margaret. It’s the “BEST PLACES TO LIVE IN THE US IN 2022.”
    Title: “Morristown, NJ is the #30 Best City to Live in the USA.”

  2. Can see why Morristown made the Most Livable Town list. Something for everyone here no matter what their age and morristowngreen.com to let us know about it. Thanks to the efforts of Keving Coughlin, the editor.
