This sort of encapsulates what I...ahem, Min-Chi-Cbus....said. If you don't get it by now Akhenaton06, just give it up.

Jacksonville is no. 1 ?

Well, well. I'll have to talk to a friend (white) who claims it was very redneck to him.
Raleigh-Durham keeps showing up. I do have to check this place out. I also heard there is a good-sized Asian population there. I like being around diverse educated groups and I'll confess a good tennis scene.

You're not familiar with the historic and present stature of the African American community in the DC metro area? It's just as prominent as Atlanta's.

The list is inverted.

No, I'm not...but I'm not black or from the East. I know D.C. is ONE of the better city for blacks but I figured Atlanta was THE city for blacks as everyone and their mother (literally, at times) is moving "back" to Atlanta to seek better living. I haven't heard that as much for D.C.
