The job of ranking the best cities in the U.S. and around the world is a massive undertaking. Resonance—advisors in tourism, urban and economic development for countries, cities and communities—produces one of the most thorough and respected rankings each year due to its unique methodology that incorporates everything from stats to social media. This year, the rankings feature perception-based data for the first time, through a new partnership with market research and polling firm Ipsos.

People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced a six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie who is looking for her forever home. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said.
