What kind of scientific survey is this? The 1st 6 cities have the highest Year-to-date adult nonfiction book sales…The reason people read more in those cities is because it is too cold & rainy to go outside & play…How smart can you be to live in a city where there is nothing to do but read?

It has more to do with universities and colleges per capita than weather. Boston at number 1 is a joke. The people who teach and go to school there might be wicked smaht, but the rest of 'em are about as bright as a bag of hammers. Some of the dumbest motherscratchers I've ever met were from Boston.

I wonder if the piles upon piles of homeless in San Francisco were polled or considered

Obvious results....cities with more universities and student pop. relative to cities' population as a whole.


It's retarded that these types of stories are ever published...I guess they are because they get views simply because your average person may be interested, or may believe it to be insightful, but they're all irrelevant.

He was referring to Portland, Oregon. We are the crapital of the north-left coast. I figured the the smart award would be because of the volume of Smart cars we have here.
