Unfortunately, you need to visit other cities to come up with an INFORMED opinion though. Thanks

This category is what separates the cities from the glorified truck stops. Every city is cosmopolitan to a certain extent-many even VERY cosmopolitan-but as far as 'most' cosmpolitan-the field narrows significantly.

If you feel that you can dispute this let me know. This is pretty accurate.
Nice list. I'd move Seattle above Atlanta and Minneapolis above Phoenix.

It is this kind of ignorance that is actually funny from someone who lives in an area that constantly tries to tell the world that it is open minded.

I guess that if Houston is "a glorified truck stop" that would make San Fran either a "glorified homeless shelter" or a "glorified same sex porn video"

Excuse me, who said anything about Houston? Oh that's right, you did.

Please stop being so sensitive-that's not a very cosmopolitan.

There ain't no shelter. The homeless in San Fran just mill about in gangs and harass women pushing strollers.

LOL!

Actually, the last time I was there it seemed like Union Square was the de facto shelter of choice for urban outdoorsmen.
