Most Stressful Cities

Forbes has just released its list of America's Most Stressful Cities.

10. Philadelphia, PA

9. Providence, R.I.

8. Salt Lake City, Utah

7. Cleveland, Ohio

6. San Diego, Calif.

5. San Francisco, Calif.

4. Los Angeles, Calif.

3. Detroit, Mich.

2. New York, N.Y.

1. Chicago, Ill.

Among the factors considered were gas prices, poor air quality, population density, and unemployment rate, to which I said, "San Francisco, really?!" I'm also surprised at Chicago being number one, mainly because I visited there early this Summer, and it was a very clean city. At least compared to St. Louis. I think the only thing keeping St. Louis out of the running is that we have the lowest gas prices in the country.
