Lists Are Everything

Thanks to its high percentage of resident college graduates, Corvallis was chosen by Forbes.com for inclusion on its list of The Smartest Cities in America. The Oregonian's blog mentions that while Portland has picked up "greenest city" honors in numerous publications, as well as "most livable" and "largest population of creative class hipsters outside of Brooklyn," Eugene has not been on any lists, lately. Eugene does host the Olympic Trials this year, we think that's worthy of note. But, somehow, Portland scored the Davis Cup, once again bettering us. Dammit!

The Davis Cup

But we *have* been on a list!

Eugene was #5 on Popular Science's Greenest Cities list:

Very Interesting Indeed

Thanks, Kate, for pointing that out. Whew! That is a sigh of relief to finally be included on some list—oh wait, who's that at #1? Awww shit, it's Portland.
