Oakland-JLS-2Did you all hear the news that Oakland is apparently the most exciting city in the United States? Yeah, that’s a shock to me too, even though it also made the NY Times top 45 Places to Visit. As a former Bay Area resident, I am happy that the city is getting some shine for its positive attributes rather than the negative ones, but the most exciting? That’s something I’d never thought I’d hear about this city, especially given the sports team exodus that is looking more and more likely to happen. But good for the Town for getting some positive buzz. Spurned on  by this article and the fact that I will be moving soon, I decided to do a list of the top 10 cities in the US.
