      <![CDATA[My letter to them below-<br>
Dear CEOs for Cities,<br>
CITY Vitals 2.0 made me laugh so hard I cried, so I have yet to figure out if it is a comedy, tragedy, or just great fiction.<br>
Granted I make Art for a living in New Orleans, so I am no expert on culture- but I do appreciate good humor when I read it, and this sure is funny. + Loaded with irony with your Offices and staff in DC, Chicago, and Cleavland as it makes Mark Twain's quote funny again today:<br>
"In America, there is New York, New Orleans, and San Francisco.

      <![CDATA[Generally, the best thing to do with these lists is to ignore them. Forbes makes them too, and they're generally worthless.<br>
<br>
Considering this group is CEOs for Cities, I would be more upset at the economic rankings, measuring talent and innovation, where NOLA also scores low.

      <![CDATA[Besides the obvious boneheadedness here, there are some serious class issues in assuming cultural events are automatically good and anything that appears on the screen of an HDTV is automatically bad.<br>
<br>
Though I suspect "CEOs for Cities" would say that going out to any cultural event would involve the individual in Growing Community and Promoting Sustainability and Contributing to a More Vibrantly Livable City or something.
