Evanston, Illinois, you are one cool cat. So say the folks over at Travel + Leisure who have ranked the town amongst the nation's "Coolest Suburbs Worth A Visit." The pub calls the town "a midwestern intellectual hub and a regional incubator for high-tech industries." And they also have a place called Unicorn Cafe, so, you know, win. [via Fox 32]
