:rotflmao:
Funny, I didn't know that St. Louis and Kansas City were in Montana
Janice Johnson 03-07-2009, 12:27 PM I'm kind of surprised that New iorleans is on the list of "20 unhappiest cities." You'd think with Mardi gras, it be a happy city......:confused:

No wonder they're on the list. Must be incredibly depressing to think you've lived in one state all this time, only to find out that you actually live in a different state... man, I can't even relate to that! Must be terrible!
And they include Nashville, but not Philly? Oh, come on!

Katrina didn't help matters any.

They are in Montana tho - just smaller towns and not the St. Louis and Kansas City you're thinking of.
*Pleasant Tomorrow* 03-07-2009, 03:00 PM What makes them so unhappy?
I love how it's always big cities they list. They never realize how miserable and boring some of the smaller cities are, lol.

I think that "studies" like this pretty much only focus on major metropolitan areas, so you're not going to see any small towns listed there.
I'm not surprised Memphis made the list, there is alot of crime in that city. But I was surprised Nashville made the list.
Chocoholic 03-07-2009, 07:55 PM Boston didn't make the list?
Oh wait, now that our sports teams are doing well, we have reason to celebrate :happyface
PZelda 03-07-2009, 09:56 PM Minneapolis? Why? O.o
Brad Russ 03-09-2009, 06:24 PM The fact that Portland is number 1 doesn't surprise me at all!! We have one of the highest suicide rates (if not the highest) and the dreary winter and fall seasons tend to make people awfully depressed here. Some of the cities on the list surprised me though.
I'm not surprised Detroit's up there. Auto industry moving out, record unemployment... and to top it all off, the Lions have the worst record in NFL History!
:crybaby:
dawsongirl 03-09-2009, 09:45 PM Minneapolis? Why? O.o

Google Maps finds nothing but Montana St. in KC, KS.
Anyhow, the St. Louis and the KC in this list are the Missouri towns. MO is Missouri, not Montana.
PZelda 03-09-2009, 10:18 PM TOO DAMN COLD.
It's colder than that here. They're just wussies in the Twin Cities. :lol:
dawsongirl 03-09-2009, 10:40 PM It's colder than that here. They're just wussies in the Twin Cities. :lol:
:lol: Yeah, the weather here sucks eggs, too.
littlebelle 03-10-2009, 02:24 AM NUMERO TWENTY! Wow, so only slightly depressing.
browneyes106 03-10-2009, 09:54 AM I'm surprised Nashville is on the list.
