Well that's refreshing.

I'm going there next month to meet a client. Guess I'll be staying in during my time there.

I can't believe Seattle isn't on there. That was the worst 3 years of my life. Damn you, Navy, for sending me to the miserable gray, rainy, cold PACNORWEST.

Though, I will say the 2 weeks of summer they actually had was beautiful.

Sorry, Seattle natives

I haven't been to Miami since I was a kid, so I can't say anything about why it is #1. Detroit being rated #2 does not surprize me at all - so many smoking potholes, and I live in Chicago, so I thought that I'd be used to "big city grunge." I will say that Detroit has some of the most beautiful suburbs that I have ever seen, though.

I'm surprized but not shocked about Chicago's ranking. If almost all of my family was not here, I'd definitely move somewhere warm; somewhere south.

The smoking pot holes are a steam generated electrical system for city power. They keep the homeless warm in the winter. They usually sleep right on top of them to stay warm. I thought they were very strange until I found out what they were. I guess they beat coal.. lol.

It's not terrible...as long as you stay downtown near the major hotels and the stadiums. I found the areas outside downtown to be extremely economically depressed. It was pretty racially segregated, which I'm not used to for even moderately-sized cities.
