A strange list indeed! One has to be careful not to put too much weight on these "surveys". Awhile back I read an similar article on the Top Ranked Vacation Destinations. Thought it was odd that Portland OR was #1 because I would never, ever consider Portland for a vacation and suspect that most people feel that way. Dug a little further and found that the highest weighted factor in the survey was "Number of farmer's markets". Like people first look to the number of farmer's markets when making vacation plans. NOT! It's clear that the goal of the survey was to make Portland look good as a vacation destination, not create an objective ranking.
I suspect such jiggery-pokery is at play here.........
