        America's smartest cities (SF)
        \_ From observation, it seems better to be a big fish in a
           small pond. BTW, they really should have excluded 'college
           towns' from the list and looked at cities with populations of
           something like 500,000+. Seattle makes that list, for sure.
           Wow. Ithaca, NY. Corvallis, OR. Ann Arbor, MI. What big surprises.
