I'd buy that list.

Boston has it's tens of thousands of college students. LA has its laid back movie star attitude, New York is in your face cosmopolitan.

I'm not surprised that all the major West Coast cities make the top 10, a more laid back live and let live attitude, whereas here in the East it's about money and work.

I live on the east coast and my life doesn't revolve around money and work. I have too many oppurtunities in Boston and going south to NYC, Philly, and DC to have fun. Did you overlook that NYC was # 1 on the fun list?

Well I live on the East Coast too, in fact we live in the same state.

But I don't think you read what I wrote. It's a matter of attitude, I didn't say one was better over the other.

Considering I live outside of Springfield...I'm itching to get out, so. They must know something I don't.

I guess San Antonio can't always rank high, but, #82. Youngstown,Ohio , Toledo, Ohio, Witchita, KS and Omaha, Ne out ranked San Antonio for culture and historical landmarks,food and drink establishments and shopping. Biz Journals is on crack or whatever Elitist put this together or is behind it. I guess they can live in their own reality.


Hilarious!!!

I hear Omaha is up and coming but the list is a joke for the most part.
