Having been to each of these cities I'd say the descriptions are fairly accurate, particularly Seattle.

[Blue Screen of Death]

Consider traffic and move Seattle higher on the list.

Where's Detroit?

Of course we can't go one article w/out a jab at White people or Christians: "To some Cincinnati is the greatest city in the U.S. - usually these folks are old, white, Christian fundamentalists, confined to wheelchairs, and are very scared of "coloreds."

But, all-in-all, pretty accurate. Damn shame about Seattle though.

Cleveland..... armpit of the universe! (lived there and I agree with the poll)

[Michael.SF.]

IMHO I would add the following:

11. San Francisco- One of the most beautiful natural settings for a city in the country, combined with probably the highest concentration of high quality restaurants outside of NYC. San Francisco, makes for a great place to visit. But, just like fresh fish, it is best to be gone in three days. If you really want to piss off the local snobs, wear an LA Dodger cap and always refer to 'The City' as "Frisco." Word of caution though, do it after the waiter brings your food.

I'm a country mouse. There is no such thing as a good city to live in.

About Cincinnati.......

It truly is one of America's most beautiful cities. The race hustlers have done all in their power to give this city an ugly image. Jesse Jackson has promoted a boycott that has accomplished nothing but more animosity between the races.

This one should be obvious to any intelligent human: Mormons and lots of them. Need we say more?

Flamewar in 8...7...6...

[Mr. Buzzcut]

Was in Seattle in August and the dearth of American flags was appalling. Good enough reason to have it on a list like this.

[Dante3]

Gary should be on the list. Last time I passed it, I smelled it and saw the pollution from a distance.

I'm not sure Cincinnati derserves to be on the list. On the other hand, it did elect Jerry Springer mayor and failed to control riots.

On the other hand, SLC was recently voted one of the "funnest" cities in the country. I agree with that list, rather than this one. I'm not Mormon, but they're great folks as a whole, and I appreciate their family values, which makes this a nice place to live, all in all.

Fun Cities

Do you agree with the assessment of Phoenix also? Alot of people from Minnesota move down there to retire and think it's all that.

What the author failed to mention about Seattle is that it has the third largest homosexual population in the country and that the gays rule the politics of the city. (Maybe that was who he was describing, running around in their Volkswagons).

[RockChucker]

This Top Ten list is a fraud only because Detroit did not even get an honorable mention.

[KarlInOhio]

If you took Chicago, sucked out every last ounce of culture including its thriving music scenes and quality restaurants and bars, leaving a graying hulk of skyscrapers and a complete lack of night life, then you would have Cincinnati

Cincinnati is where Daytonians want to go to have fun. I don't know if that says more about Dayton or Cincinnati. :-)

But Drew Carey said "Cleveland Rocks!"?

[bigeasy_70118]

Detroit and Philly both deserve to be on this list. It must be the Larry Brown connection.

[ArrogantBustard]

Any list of this nature which does not list Nu Yawk $#!+y in the top ten has no credibility.
