Sykesville named coolest small town

Carroll County is now officially home to the Coolest Small Town in America.

On Monday, Sykesville secured the title of Budget Travel magazine's Coolest Small Town with a massive win in online polling.

Sykesville, which received 44 percent of the votes, trounced second-place finisher Pipestone, Minnesota, which finished with 19 percent of the vote total.

Budget Travel names a Coolest Small Town every year. Winners must have a population of fewer than 10,000 residents and offer a unique atmosphere, complete with shops, food, culture and history, as well as a good location, according to BudgetTravel.com.

In the website's description of Sykesville, it notes the town's farmers market, restaurants and abundance of downtown festivals.

Berlin can now take all those signs down they just paid for and got County approval to put up. More wasted tax dollars.
