Also, a lot of those college towns you all have been mentioning, yet would these towns even be mentioned for their intellect and arts if it weren't for the MAJOR universities they depend on....

Well, it would make sense that someone looking for intellectual activities would find them in a town with other intellectuals - which usually means a college town - although large cities would also qualify (Chicago, NY, San Francisco). However the original post wasn't looking for huge cities but for small cities and towns.
Ashland, Oregon actually has a vibrant intellectual community that exists apart from the University due to it's extensive Shakespeare Festival. I can think of a few places in the east with similar seasonal festivals that would be alive with intelligent folks and activities but generally you need a university to find like-minded folks.
