                    EDEN PRAIRIE: BEST PLACE TO LIVE

  (Mr. PAULSEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAULSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate Eden Prairie, 
Minnesota, for being recognized and named as the Second Best Place to 
Live in America by Money Magazine. It is not the first time that Eden 
Prairie has been recognized as a great place to live. It has made the 
annual list several times over the years and even finished number one 
in 2010.
  Eden Prairie is a wonderful place for families and kids because of 
its excellent schools, great parks, and over 100 miles of terrific 
walking and biking trails. There are also 17 lakes that add to our high 
quality of life. The city also has a lot to offer through its economy 
as well. There are several great local and global brands that are 
headquartered in town or nearby.
  Mr. Speaker, Eden Prairie residents have known this for a long period 
of time. It is a great place to work, to live, and to raise a family. I 
am honored to represent such an outstanding community and to call it 
home myself.
