Over the centuries, New Orleans has been on many lists. Most unlikely cities. Busiest tourist destinations. Best place to catch yellow fever. And recently, places that persevere, even with idiots for mayors.
Well, today New Orleans popped up on another list–a good list, in fact. We only just made it, and we’re probably hanging on by our last press-on nail (purchased at Rainbow Fashions on Canal Street before You-Know-What), but who cares? We’re on it: the list of America’s Smartest Cities.
Conspicuously absent: Houston, Dallas, Chicago, and the entire state of Florida.
I’m just sayin’.
