The City of Nelson

With its 300-plus preserved heritage buildings, profusion of great restaurants and cafés, arts schools, yoga studios, co-ops, diverse and thriving cultural scenes, nearby hot springs, world-class outdoor recreation opportunities, and population of 10,000 reasonably civil humans, Nelson might be even more auspicious than it first looks.
