What is the most glaring omission from Yahoos list of US cities?
I was raised in Sacramento, which is hardly worth a flyover even now. I do believe yahoo has a California bias, and I don't care how expensive the real estate is out there, most people aren't going to choose Sacramento or San Jose as places to visit.





Having lived in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area for over 20 years, I second your opinion. This area is greatly unappreciated by people on the West Coast.

Reply:My vote goes to Milwaukee.





I do think that California is over represented on this short list with 4 cities.
Reply:how about memphis, nashville and knoxville in tennessee? strong in tourism.
Reply:Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, and Tampa. Ohio gets 2 and Pennsylvania only gets 1.
Reply:That is definfately the top city that I thought was missing. I would also throw Baltimore,Tampa, Salt Lake City, Raleigh-Durham, and maybe some others in there.





One city I would definately take out is San Jose. It makes no sense why there would be a San Jose category when it's in the same metropolitan area as San Francisco and most questions about San Jose get asked in the SF category anyways. Sacramento is also a pretty useless city that recieves very little tourism. I think Yahoo is biased b/c they are located right next to San Jose and that's why they put it there.
Reply:I would say the Florida Keys or Outer Banks. Those are top vacation destinations that I think people would have a lot of questions about.





Pittsburgh too. (How can you include Cincinnati and Cleveland and not include Pittsburgh?)
Reply:Nashville Tennessee.
Reply:They also missed Fargo
