1. SF and NY–I know, ties should not be allowed, but I can’t choose. REALLY!
2. Chicago
3. Seattle
4. Groveland—You probably haven’t heard of this. I guess you aren’t hip.
5. Tel Aviv
6. DC
7. Boston
8. LA
9. Philadelphia–This might be biased because it was raining when I was there.
10. Portland–I have never been there so I can’t really rank it. I think it would be higher up.

SEATTLE at #3?! I suppose that’s pretty good. Chicago beating it, really? I hear it’s very cold there. I also don’t think Chicago is surrounded by Water on three sides. Whatever that means.

This is wrong. Please re-draft.

I approve that all of my cities are on this list. Although if you have two cities tied for first place you should cut out Portland so there are still only 10. BADMATH.

jesix is right, chicago should not beat seattle
November 13, 2008 at 8:20 pm
Aubrey is right chicago should be ranked third and the others accordingly

ewix. I can’t believe you put boston over la. Where’s your cali pride?

Boston shouldn’t even be on this list because it’s one of the worst cities in this country. LA should DEFINITELY be ahead of it.

I think your top 1s and 2 are perfect. Obviously SF and NY are the best cities and Chicago is way more awesome than some assume. GROVELAND LOVE! If more people knew it, do you think it could be higher?

Oh, ps ~ I’m stalking you. Out of pure love and adoration.

My thoughts on some of your top ten:
2. Shouldn’t this be #3, since #1 was a tie, taking up two spots? Oh, it seems someone already pointed that out. BADMATH.
3. Only if you enjoy the company of passive-agressive self-righteous and self-aggrandizing environmentalist wanna-be-hippie yuppies. Uh…was that too harsh? It does have a nice location, if you hate the sun.
6. Nice choice. Disgusting summers, overflowing with yuppies, otherwise acceptable.
7. Last call at 1:30? Please.
Suggestions for inclusion: any of
New Orleans
Tampa
Austin, TX
Miami
Little Rock, AR

you should update this list now that you’ve experienced Portland’s unrivaled legitimacy.
