Movoto explored Illinois cities in an effort to quantify their determine excitement factor in order to produce its top 10 list of exciting areas in the state. Surprisingly, the Chicago suburb beat out its much larger neighbor. Chicago was listed number four behind Evanston, Woodstock and Rock Island. Fifth place went to St. Charles.
The site notes:
"Evanston may be a suburb of Chicago, but as our analysis showed, it is perfectly exciting on its own, thank you very much—especially for anyone into music."
Criteria used to rank the cities included live music venues, nightlife, food offerings, keep-fit option, and the percentage of residents aged 20 to 34 years of age. This last category doubtlessly worked in favor of Evanston, which is home to Northwestern University. The lively music and nightlife scene in Woodstock and Rock Island were responsible for those two communities slotting in ahead of Chicago.
Food and music venues, regardless of how popular they are, must continually work at enticing clientele into their establishments or risk losing business to their competition. A flyer printing service provides these types of establishments with an inexpensive and easy to implement marking tool.
