Yay Pittsburgh!
This is a really great top ten list, thanks for posting it Pullthepocket, I wouldn't even now where to look for this kind of information. It was interesting to see a ll the different city's no surprise the Kentucky would be #1. Anyone can post their own list to our site http://www.toptentopten.com/. The coolest feature is you can let other people vote on the rankings of your list.
This is fantastic info---thank you for posting it and especially for including Canada!
