Oct 8th, 2010 at 9:00AM: California loves to get wasted! San Diego and San Jose are the top two cities that drink stupidly, according to a survey by Insurance.com.

The reasons for hitting this list vary and include proximity ...

Jul 22nd, 2008 at 5:00PM: It may come as no surprise that San Francisco ranks as America's #1 walkable city, but what about the rest of the country? After compiling a list of the "walkability" of 40 American cities, Walk Score gives us a good idea of what cities are pedestrian friendly and which ones require cars. The bottom ten cities on the list give us a few places where pedestrians are far and few between and driving ...

Jul 22nd, 2008 at 1:00PM: The airlines giveth, and the airlines taketh away. This has never been more true than in recent years.
