Poll Results 1/10/11

Looks like there's only three hours left to vote on the first WRT poll ever.  I am going to remove it but just wanted to let everyone know the results.

The question:  What's your favorite city to visit in the United States?

51 of you voted, the winner is...

New York City (25 votes).  Nearly half of you.  It's a shame the rest of the 2 million people who crowd the streets of The City That Never Sleeps, otherwise it would have been even more of a landslide.

LA was second with 7 votes, with 6 votes, Boston came in third (similar to their finish in the AL East this year), Miami was fourth with 2 votes, and Aspen (not sure how I decided on Aspen for the final choice) was fifth with 1 vote.  Ten of you chose "Other", but only one told me what that other was, Bruce I think said Key West.

Let's crunch a few numbers and spit some knowledge about the greatest city ever! (courtesy of wikipedia)
