Meet Berlin, MD, America's Coolest Small Town!

How does it feel to live in the Coolest Small Town in America? Ask the folks in Berlin, MD, the winner of Budget Travel's 9th annual America's Coolest Small Town contest!

Berlin's citizens—and fans from around the U.S. and beyond—helped get the town nominated last fall when Budget Travel solicited suggestions from tens of thousands of online readers. The editors tallied up the nominations, added a dash of editorial discretion for regional and cultural diversity, and came up with a list of 15 finalists—cool burghs from Upstate New York to the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California, from northern Colorado to the Everglades, and, of course, the Maryland shore.

Now, after more than a month of online voting, Berlin, MD (population 4,563), has earned the title of "Coolest."

Berlin deserves this. It's a great small town. They have qualified, common sense leadership and work hard to showcase this beautiful area.

9:03 Not with our current city government. I agree if you are talking about the next elections.

Salisbury has lost it's small town charm and no matter how much money is spent we will never be the little town we used to be. This isn't saying that we can't do better, but it's going to take a lot of work and Salisbury needs leaders with ideas other than the same old plan time after time. We still are lucky we live in a rural area and have so much to offer with the ocean, bay and the river fronts. I'll take the mosquitos and the smell of the low tide over a big city any day.
