For actual read-only data that is an instance of a model class, I'd set up a class method instead. So for a default location, in Location.rb,
def self.default_location @@default_location ||= Location.find_by_name("San Francisco") end This fixes your migration problem, doesn't reload it with every page, and also works with testing.
