Consumer Affairs sends e-mails about various topics. I could not believe this one. Not sure anyone here would believe it either. They ranked Champaign, IL as the #3 best city in the country to retire. I might feel that way, and their reasons are believable, but no mountains, no ocean, and terrible winters. This article could be "clickbait" and fine. But when I saw my hometown listed, that was kind of cool!
