Where’s the “smartest” city?

These online surveys comparing cities and metro areas can be a bit irritating, or at least overdone (I’m waiting to see the next dumb thing that comes from Forbes.com…), but this one struck me as interesting, at least briefly…

It’s from The Daily Beast (love that site!) and rates the “smartest cities” in the U.S. Dayton’s not big enough to be included, but Cincy, Cleveland and Columbus are in there, and it’s a fun read. They rated such things as books read and college completion amongst the population.

Have a look and see what you think… Offhand, I was surprised how low Chicago, LA and New York rated…

And have a delightful, blustery fall morning!
