<snort>! ... an economist ranking cities on 'creativity', eh? You've GOTTA be kidding, right?
[I'm sorry - but that's just plain SCARY in and of itself!]
Well, I'm not sure what's going on in Dallas - but I'd have to guess that Enron and Dell would explain Houston and Austin being on the list.
I've been to 7 of the 10 cities on that list. I can't imagine what Baltimore is doing there ... unless it has something to do with the debt structuring to finance that (actually very nice) inner harbor project. {Appropriate apologies to folks living in Baltimore ... or any ex-pat fans of "Mr. Ray's hair weave in Bal-TI-more!" [Very very bad old local tv commercial.]}
RonL. ... helping making Tejas a more creative State since 1997! ;-P

Carnegie Mellon economist Richard Florida (in 'The Rise of the Creative
Class') has ranked the 10 most creative cities in the US:
1. San Francisco
2. Austin
3. San Diego
4. Boston
5. Seattle
6. Raleigh/Durham cripes why don't they get a new name?
7. Houston
8. Baltimore
9. NY
10. Dallas
Only two in California, but three in Texas? I been to Texas. I lived there.
It's nothing personal; honest.
