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.

[Jack Black]

Where's Detroit?

[jjm2111]

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.

[Bikers4Bush]

Exactly. The article is complete crap.

It's missing Pittspuke as well.

[freedomson]

Detroit is Cleveland, without the glitter.

[Grammy]

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.

Dear B4B - put your snide comments about my hometown where the sun don't shine!!!

[Hillary's Folly]

Actually, if it were my list I would have traded Detroit for Cincy. At least all the Christians keep their streets relatively clean.

But lighten up a bit, they take shots at snotty little selfphone latte addicts, too. Why can't some Christians also be the butt of jokes? It's just jokes.

[Physicist]

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

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

[bonfire]

Hey! Cleveland Rocks!

[cardinal4]

Exactly. The article is complete crap.

And Saint Louis does not have the highest crime rate. At one time East St Louis in Illinois had the highest per capita murder rate, but that was about 20 years ago.

[RANGERAIRBORNE]

"Where's Detroit?"

And Flint- and just about any other city I can think of in Michigan. Man, do I hate that place!

But the author left out Anchorage, whose motto is "We're Not Really Alaska, But You Can Get There From Here!"

Or the alternatibve- "El Paso With Snow"

[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.

[bonfire]

The writer of this article must be young. His criteria for a good city is Nightlife.

[Hillary's Folly]

LOL! Rutro. I guess this invites the question, are Mormons Christians, and if so does that make two slams against Christians.

[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.
