Apparently, I am living in America’s smartest city, according to this Daily Beast survey. The #1 place for smarts is Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina. Well, I don’t strictly live in Raleigh-Durham, but I live nearby, which makes me smart by proxy. To get really technical, no one lives in Raleigh-Durham, because it doesn’t exist. There are two cities, Raleigh and Durham, and the Daily Beast has lumped Chapel Hill in there too (not a city, but a village — important distinction). So it seems like those of us living here in the Triangle area of North Carolina are definitely smarter than the Daily Beast writers, anyway.
A more accurate way of putting it might have been: America’s smartest trio of metropolitan areas connected by nothing other than geography. But have it your way, Daily Beast. Go Heels! Eat it, San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose — you’re number two!
