I can't think of a better example of having your cake and eating it, too. What is Illinois' richest small town? It's the same place that also happens to be surrounded by gorgeous tree-lined nature preserves.
I've heard it said that what you don't know won't hurt you. That may be true, but for one Missouri man...what he didn't know was that he had been a millionaire for 3 months without even realizing it.
