. . . ahead of Paris, New York, Chicago, L.A., Berlin, Rome. http://tinyurl.com/yrmvmq Crime, healthcare access, culture/environment (which included access to alcohol or lack thereof, also climate and hotel quality), infrastructure, and cost were equally weighted. Vancouver was #1. A delightful town, to be sure. Don't recall much publicity on this anywhere--might help someone attract a convention or two. | ||

Hmm. That list is on crack rock. It's cool to beat New York and Paris though. Nonetheless, smokin' fat rocks. | ||

Was trying to figure exactly how they came up with these--sure, I'd take a business trip to Paris over one to Detroit. Yet their methodology is fairly detailed and did not involve crack cocaine. Near as I can tell, the weight assigned to health care helped us (and Cleveland) out. Both places have large, state--of-the-art medical facilities in the center city. I guess if you're going to have the infarction in a hotel room, Detroit would be a pretty good place to do it. |
