    I had already corrected it. However, if you are the template for an educated person I have no problem being called uneducated.

    Dang, I have already used up 2 of my 5 per year alloted responses to your dip shit posts.

      I figured, Boston would be up there, along with Palo Alto, etc.. I need to read that article to determine what were the data points of that report..
      The ranking methodology excluded smaller cities like Cambridge, MA and Los Alamos, NM. Basically, a city had to be fairly large and host a big, highly ranked university. Nevertheless, kudos to Provo.

        I agree that you seem to have no problem being uneducated.

          Cambridge is about the same size as Provo.

            Good point. I had thought Cambridge was much smaller but admittedly never kept track if I was in Cambridge or some other area of Boston when I was there many years ago. It looks like Cambridge got wrapped into Boston in this study since it took the "150 largest metropolitan statistical areas". I would think if Cambridge had been defined as its own statistical area, it would have scored very high. Boston came it at #10 so perhaps Cambridge was a big part of that score.

                Some good nuggets from this blog to drive a moving solutions company's web traffic national poll:

                Best city for median income: Provo, Utah at $83,000 (compare to later listing of "Provo median income: $77,000")

                Provo population: approx. 1,000,000

                    and the country's third-largest university, Brigham Young University, calls Provo home.
                    Third largest? is that true?

                        3rd largest private university, perhaps?

                            Add in non-profit and I'd, perhaps, buy it.

                              2nd largest.

                              OK, so they just made up a bunch of crap to generate some click-bait. Provo is still a pretty cool place.
