I think we should advertise it.

Come take money from the dumbest city in the US. Any smart person should be able to walk in and pickup a fortune from our black jack games and video poker machines.

How can you lose against the dumbest in the nation?

Demonstrate your intelligence...show us the bags of money on your way into the plane to go home.

Bet against the short bus...and go home wealthy!

Got to be a pony in that pile somewhere.

Although I would like to dispute this article, the vast majority of people I seem to run into around the city only make me feel not surprised. With only a 42% graduation rate for high school students, we have thousands of kids/adults being pumped into the city with a future that holds nothing but crime. Even McDonald's doesn't hire dropouts from what I hear.

You have to learn. Don't play. This is all garbage. Las Vegas is blue collar...we ain't Palo Alto...but we beat the hell out of much of the rust belt and south.

Note we are not a high crime city. So you obviously have something wrong.

They must just be referring to anyone who bought a house there in the 2002-2007 time period.
