Congratulations Iowa!
Ames and Iowa City are among the rankings of the smartest cities in the country!
The Smartest Cities In America - Yahoo! Real Estate (broken link)
Ames is at no. 6.
And Iowa City is at no. 10
Once again, congratulations! I've always thought Iowans were pretty smart..

Go Iowa! Although, I'm a little embarrassed that Ames beat us. 
I also saw that Boulder and Ft. Collins, CO were on the list, which is interesting. I've always thought that Iowa was a lot like Colorado in that Iowa City/Iowa really resembles Boulder/Colorado and Ames/Iowa State really resembles Ft. Collins/Colorado State.
Anyone else who's been there get the same idea? |

yes, I guess they do in a way. A lot more "tree huggers" in Boulder though.  |

I was thinking we resembled Kansas a little more, with KU being the liberal college town and Manhattan being the more staid ag/tech school. I suppose there's probably a lot of places like that. Michigan comes to mind with MSU and U of M too.
