Is Your Town Down?
The 20 Happiest Cities ( code for gay)Which towns stand in the face of depression
Maybe it was all those years of futility for the Phillies. Or the shadows cast by New York City to the north and Washington, D.C., to the south. Whatever the reasons, Philadelphia has earned the melancholy distinction of being America's most depressed city, followed closely by Detroit and St. Petersburg, Florida. Men's Health compiled this list based on antidepressant sales, courtesy of NDC Health; suicide rates, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); and the number of days inhabitants reported being depressed, based on the CDC's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, accessed through bestplaces.net.
Where can you find happiness? Texas, that's where. Three of its cities placed in the top four: number one, Laredo; number two, El Paso; and number four, Corpus Christi.
1. Laredo, TX: A+
2. El Paso, TX: A+
3. Jersey City, NJ: A+
4. Corpus Christi, TX: A+
5. Baton Rouge, LA: A
6. Honolulu, HI: A-
7. Fresno, CA: A-

10. Bakersfield, CA: B+
11. Buffalo, NY: B+
12. Anchorage, AK: B+

I'm from Philadelphia. Its because we should have won the Super Bowl. Next year we'll be the happiest you watch. Eagles all the way to Detroit. You'll see.

TX and Baton Rouge, LA are just happy cause they're drunk. Jersey cause the toxic waste has caused a sort of lobotomy on them and Honolulu well who wouldn't be happy living in paradise?
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

I think the poll lacks credibility if it ranks a cesspool like Jersey City New Jersey as "happy". If its so happy, why is its population and per capita incomes dropping like a steel bar on the end of a chain?
