This surprises you?

Detroit police don't give out DUIs. If you don't have heroin, crack, guns, or a pending murder charge then they send you on your way.

If you've ever drank Sam Adams beer, you'd know why people from Boston don't drink.

I'm surprised Miami is up there with Salt Lake City. Why Miami?

[GabiandVi 34]

So glad NOLA didn't make the top 20.

[v333k 59]

It looks like Boston has a challenge...

[Teacher Mark 53]
