Way to go, Cincinnati!


NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Who knew? Apparently having too many home furnishing stores like Ikea in your city is a sign of being "unmanly."



At least that's the conclusion of a study released Thursday that ranks "America's Manliest Cities" on criteria such as the number of professional major league sports teams, popularity of tools and hardware, and frequency of monster truck rallies....



Nashville grabbed the top spot in the ranking thanks to its high number of NASCAR enthusiasts, popularity of hunting and fishing, and concentration of barbecue restaurants.



Rounding out the top five were: Charlotte, N.C.; Oklahoma City; Cincinnati; and Denver.

New York City, despite a high score in bowling, wound up last among the 50 cities rated, with low scores in fishing, home improvement projects, and drag racing.

Hmmm. Our IKEA is actually not in Cincinnati, it's outside the city limits (although the fact that I know where it is is unmanly in itself...). So I've decided to buy a NASCAR ball cap and a case of Bud.
