Reply #34: Just because people are idiots, doesn't mean that they can't read. [View All]

I buy that NYC is lower than many of these other cities for the reason someone posted above: that there are many immigrants who probably can't read English very well.

Atlanta's pretty metropolitan, too. I once heard a joke that even I - someone who defends us Southern blues on the board almost constantly - found funny: "Atlanta is a great city. In fact, there's only one thing wrong with it. It's surrounded by Georgia." :)

That said, I really don't like Atlanta all that much. The traffic is horrid and it's too blasted hot. However, it's nice to see several Southern cities on this Top 100 list.
