Rand McNally and USA Today have awarded Murray the title of “Friendliest Small Town in America." The award comes from the organizations' Best of the Road contest. The friendliest town award comes ironically on a divisive day for city residents as they vote on whether or not to allow package alcohol sales.
Murray, Kentucky is up against five other small towns for the title of the Friendliest Small Town in America. It’s part of the Rand McNally/USA Today Best of the Road contest. This week, a two-person team representing Rand McNally spent four days in Murray touring the town and surrounding area by air, land and water.
