Zero Minnesota Small Towns Make ‘Best for Fall Colors’ List, So I Fixed It

A list from Stacker came out not too long ago of the 50 best small towns across the US for fall colors. It's always fun to look at those lists because Minnesota is usually represented somewhere, especially if fall colors are involved.

I'm looking at the list and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling... and suddenly I'm at the end and there were NO MINNESOTA TOWNS! How?!

Minnesota Has Some of the Best Fall Colors

I'll have the list below for you to judge for yourself. Some of them make sense and totally deserve a spot in the top 50 best small towns for fall colors. There are a lot in the Northeastern US, which makes sense.

But there are some towns in the south on the list. I don't know much about fall colors in the south, but my co-worker, who's from Texas, does, and he laughed at the fact that southern towns ended up on the list. He said that when fall colors do come, they aren't that exciting and last maybe a day.

Please, tell me how towns in the southern US made it on this list, and no Minnesota towns made it?

So I took it upon myself to fix it and give you the small Minnesota towns that deserve to be on this list.
