Minneapolis has emerged as America’s most literate city of 2007 in an annual survey. It was chosen as such on the basis of the cultural resources for reading in America’s largest cities. Published in ‘USA Today’, the survey ranks cities based on six key indicators of literacy—newspaper circulation, number of bookstores, library resources, periodical publishing resources, educational attainment, and Internet resources. The study named Seattle as the second most literate city in the US, while St. Paul came in third. Denver surfaced as the fourth most literate city. Wrapping up the top five on the list was Washington, DC. This was followed by St. Louis, San Francisco, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, and Boston in the same order.

I have always been fascinated with the cities in europe. They are far so different with what we have here in asia. The architecture, the places, the monuments, the people and most of all, the night life. Everything is different and thats what interests me in going their for some time but I know I need to save some more if ever i would be convinced to go there.In London, the people are so much workaholic and every minute counts. This is what my relative said who was able to live there for quite sometime now. In berlin, the post war era still gives me an eerie feeling because i always wanted to despise the germans for destroying my country. Barcelona is a whole new different experience for me. I always wanted to live like a spanish coz they occupied the philippines for more than three hundred years. Thats alot of time!If ever you are going to visit one of these places, you can stay at london hotels, paris hotels, berlin hotels and barcelona hotels.

Forbes magazine recenly published this article by Matt Woolsey about the cities in this country with the most undervalued property. Atlanta was in the top 3 along with Charlotte, NC and Detroit, MI. .Matt wrote: "Market slumps often result in good buys, and solid investments get tagged with bargain prices due to the volatile market. One place to look for these deals is the housing sector, where worries about a continuing dip in home prices are keeping many buyers on the sidelines, and keeping a lid on prices.".That is exactly what I tell people everyday when they ask about the market, fearful that they should stay out of it. No! NOW is the time to buy. I firmly believe that the spring will bring a rise in prices and people will not be able to find the deals that are out there today..If you are in need of a home, NOW is the time to buy.

If I were a working class citizen of the United States I would be very angry today, for if ever there were a clear example of the preferential treatment the have’s get in the USA from local and central government and the class war the Bush administration is conducting against a section of its own people, one need look no further than this’ tale of two cities’ San Diego and New Orleans. After the Levees broke when Hurricane Katrina struck, flooding the city of New Orleans, the very first thing the Government did was to send in the National Guard to augment the over-stretched local police force. They did so not to assist the victims of this disaster and provide them with sustenance like food and water, but to protect the property of the have’s, which meant in the main real-estate and the empty premises and department stores of the big US corporations. Never mind there had been no looting beyond thirsty people scavenging for bottled water and the like. To justify this shameful act
Fifty years ago, most people lived in rural areas. But the world has changed. By some point next year, more than half of all people will live in cities, for the first time in history. So says the most recent estimate from the United Nations.Of the three billion people who live in cities now, the report says, about one billion live in unplanned settlements. These are areas of poverty, slums, that generally lack basic services like clean water, or even permanent housing.The report says more than sixty million people are added to cities and surrounding areas each year, mostly in slums in developing countries.Molly O'Meara Sheehan led the Worldwatch report. She says the international community has been too slow to recognize the growth of urban poverty. Policymakers, she says, need to increase investments in education, health care and other areas.The report talks about some successful efforts by local governments and community groups. For example, it says Freetown, Sierra Leone, has establi
Today we tell about Jane Jacobs. She was an activist for improving cities.Jane Jacobs was an activist, writer, moral thinker and economist. She believed cities should be densely populated and full of different kinds of people and activities. She believed in the value of natural growth and big open spaces.She opposed the kind of city planning that involves big development and urban renewal projects that tear down old communities. She was also a critic of public planning officials who were unwilling to compromise.Jacobs helped lead fights to save neighborhoods and local communities within cities. She helped stop major highways from being built, first in New York City and later in Toronto, Canada.Developers and city planners often criticized her ideas. Yet, many urban planning experts agree that her work helped shape modern thinking about cities.Jane Butzner was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, in nineteen sixteen. Her father was a doctor.

Remember in High School when everyone was pressuring us to decide what it was we wanted to do "when we grew up"?
I had a serious love for interior design. I still do. But I grew up in a town of about 1400 people. And everyone I talked to, including the guidance counselor, told me interior designers had to live in big cities. BIG cities, like New York.

Subtopia interviews author Stephen Graham on how “frictions in global politics are turning cities into stages for warfare and geopolitical struggle.” This is truly fascinating stuff. The interview is long and worth studying.
For what it's worth, this is from the DEBKA website. The threat was picked up by DEBKAfile’s monitors from a rush of electronic chatter on al Qaeda sites Thursday, Aug. 8. The al Qaeda communications accuse the Americans of the grave error of failing to take seriously the videotape released by the American al Qaeda spokesman Adam Gaddahn last week. “They will soon realize their mistake when American cities are hit by quality operations,” said one message. Another said the attacks would be carried out “by means of trucks loaded with radio-active material against America’s biggest city and financial nerve center.” A third message mentioned New York, Los Angeles and Miami as targets. It drew the answer: “The attack, with Allah’s help, will cause an economic meltdown, many dead, and a financial crisis on a scale that compels the United States to pull its military forces out of many parts of the world, including Iraq, for lack of any other way of cutting down costs.

he heritage of Hong Kong and its cities is known the world over. Hong Kong is a unique fusion of Eastern and Western cultures where the old and the new live side by side. Its incense-filled temples, glass-and-steel skyscrapers and noisy festivals have made Hong Kong the premier tourist destination in Asia.The nightlife is said to be incredible...Causeway Bay is one of the busiest, hippest, happening spots in Hong Kong. Day or night it is a great place for shopping, dining, hanging out and people watching.Okay, okay. The real reason? I MUST attend the annual Hong Kong Shopping Festival!!! Apparently people get dressed up to go spend, spend, spend! Asian styles, both classic and modern, have a unique twist known the world over, so I can imagine all of the incredible clothes I'd come back with! (-info and photos from WikiTravel)
ome, the "Eternal City", is the capital of Italy and of the Lazio (Latium) region. It's the famed city of the Seven Hills, La Dolce Vita, Vatican City and Three Coins in the Fountain. The structure remains of the old Roman Empire (the Colosseum, the Forum, Palatine Hill...) are what draws me to this place - I am pretty sure that the History Channel and my television can't begin to do them justice!It is said to be a walk-friendly place, sights are everywhere waiting to be discovered. The Trastevere neighbourhood for some great cafes and trattorie, and a glimpse at a hip Roman neighbourhood.Partying in Rome is a pretty easy thing to do. Given a heart for exploration, Testaccio is the place to wander. Head down there around 11pm and listen for music. The outsides of the clubs will give you NO idea what the insides are like. There are usually loads of people simply walking through the street or looking for parking. Be brave, walk in, meet some wonderful Romans! (FYI "uh oh": Buying a Rom

here's something about a place with a new outlook, and new energy that makes you want to experience it! This is definitely the case in Prague - there's an emerging creative class who have modernized the entire region with booming tourism and nightlife. I doubt this would be a typical vacation - but that's probably another thing that has me intrigued.Attractions include its bevy of castles, spectacular St Vitus Cathedral, Charles Bridge with its artists and street sellers, historic Wenceslas Square, the vast Old Town Square and the quaint Golden Lane. Apparetly, travel on the cheap is realistic - extensive underground and tram network or walking is facilitated – half the fun is discovering new sights. Prague’s appeal lies in its unique ability to attract and charm people of all ages and interests. Most hotels have reduced prices and special offers in January to March and July and August. - info from Austria Travel, Photography: Sean Duggan
biza (Catalan: Eivissa) is one of the Balearic Islands located in the Mediterranean Sea, belonging to Spain. With Formentera, it is one of the two Pine Islands. Major cities are Ibiza, Santa Eulària des Riu and Sant Antoni de Portmany.The Island of Ibiza is most famously known for its summer parties, with thousands of people flooding in for the big summer club nights.

This is a compilation on Top 50 Highest Cost of Living Cities In The World, compiled by Mercer Human Resource Consulting. According to Mercer’s research Moscow, Russia is world most expensive city in the world. That’s really something new to me as I hardly have friends on the north. Follow by London, United Kingdom, Seoul, Korea and Tokyo Japan. Singapore at 14th place and China with 2 of its main cities, Beijing at 20th and Shanghai at 26th.
