Again, so what? Are you going to send money? Why congratulate Phoenicians because their city moved on somebodies list in the UK? No offense but anybody can make a list.

When I went to the website you linked I was unable to find the criteria for their list. Admittedly I didn't waste much time looking.

I live in Phoenix because it's where my job is. I like Phoenix because I live here.There's more to Phoenix than that but it is sufficient.

What irked me about your post is you just dropped it in without any explanation. It doesn't bother me one way or the other that we are on somebody's list. Phoenix is on many lists good and bad. An explanation up front would have been better.

Baby brother is an adult now. A young adult but an adult nonetheless. And like you big brother, we will kick a_ _ and take names later.
By the time the next ranking comes out Phoenix will be in the first tier of the Gamma Global World Class Cities......way to go Phoenix , and by the way I think that Las Vegas will crack the ranks of World Class Cities as a third tier Gamma GaWC.......City.....When the new listing comes out...
