This tiny East Alabama town just made ‘Country Living’s’ top 10 list

The Bama Buzz social team must have a hotline to the good folks at “Country Living.” 

The iconic magazine, originally launched in 1978 by the team behind “Good Housekeeping,” just released its list of the top 10 small towns in America. The lone Alabama town on the list is none other than Waverly, Alabama.

The Bama Buzz’s ‘Guess This Town’ video

Talk about perfect timing. Right before the national rankings dropped, our social team was already on the ground in East Alabama gathering footage near Auburn for our monthly “Guess This Town” episode featuring the small town.

Once we saw Waverly earning national acclaim, our team scrambled to update the video and highlight “Country Living’s” nod.

If you aren’t on Facebook or Instagram, you can catch our full social segment on this All-American small town right here:

What makes Waverly so great?

It turns out our team and “Country Living” share the exact same taste. Both of our features highlighted the same four staples that give Waverly its wholesome spirit and unique charm:

• Standard Deluxe: Music venue and design hub

As the old saying goes — great minds think alike.
