 Posted: 01/09/06 - 09:24 Post subject: Why I love Chicago (you can add this to G's series)
We're no longer fattest!  Thank you Chicago! Thanks LA! Keep eating Las Vegas! Love to see your lipo hasn't taken, Dallas!

and if you read that second article, I agree with our mayor (aka, the fittest mayor in the nation) that the factors that determine these dumb annual lists are flawed. But, the rankings make big news every year for whatever reason. Another note, I thought we were second to Detroit last year, but I guess that was a couple years ago...

A local radio station here reported on this over the weekend, and concluded this finding was totally unfair because nobody at the station was fat.

Alright, two Ohio cities were on the list! And Cleveland's giving Columbus a run!
Vegas is probaly #2 because it's full of Ohioans.
