Zombies have been growing steadily in popularity ever since George Romero broke through to the mainstream with the 1968 horror classic "Night of the Living Dead". Romero never looked back (and neither have we).

That film spawned a number of sequels, not to mention offshoots, tributes, and ripoffs. Then the popular zombie genre moved to television with the VERY popular show "The Walking Dead". The show is so popular in fact that it has produced SIX spinoffs of its own.

The online experts at finding local lawn care professions in your area, Lawn Love, thought it would be fun to look at which U.S. cities would fare best at surviving a zombie apocalypse.
