Razors Edge ★ Posted May 21, 2019 Share #1 Posted May 21, 2019 ...from the photo where they were writing about ( 2019 Fittest City in America ? Actually, wasn't sure how they would parse it, because realistically, "Arlington" is just an extension of DC albeit across the river and a Virginia city. I consider it the "DC metropolitan area", but whatever. Arlington #1, DC #6. ...and the bottom 20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prophet Zacharia Posted May 21, 2019 Share #6 Posted May 21, 2019 Pittsburgh at #16. Pretty good. Smoking rates seem to have come down considerably around here in the 26 years I have lived here, so that helps. Allegheny County is now at 16% daily smoking prevalence, down from 22%. https://vizhub.healthdata.org/subnational/usa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airehead Posted May 22, 2019 Share #8 Posted May 22, 2019 I wonder why many of the low cities are down south--- they should have a fitness edge with more days suitable for outdoor workouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

late Posted May 22, 2019 Share #13 Posted May 22, 2019 So California gets 13 or 14 slots, and Maine gets none... Not that we would have fared well, but Portland, at least, should have been in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that we would have fared well, but Portland, at least, should have been in there. They used the 100 largest US cities (technically, Arlington is a "census designated place"), and Portland. Maine isn't in the top 300 US cities in size, let alone the top 100. They may do a review of smaller towns and cities, or they may do one of "metropolitan areas" which would then include Portland, but right now, Portland (67k)- as a "city" - is barely larger than my little town (58k).

ChrisL Posted May 22, 2019 Share #15 Posted May 22, 2019 DC metro area has a bunch of active duty and recently separated military who still lead active lives. The number of runners on the mall on any given morning is a tell tale sign. Irvine CA was built to be this ideal community and is sort of a weird place to live. Kinda like the Stepford Wives type of thing. But they built in bike friendly paths and the roads are bike friendly too. I ride in & around Irvine often.

Mass and Conn are New England geographically, but not culturally. They aren't New England. So New England doesn't exist. It's a shame, because activists here need all the help they can get. When there has been reform, for cycling, it's been when outside groups got involved here. Even a silly survey like that can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it's great, the best. The minions keeping us from teetering into chaos? Yeah, many probably live there. If you were a PhD or a retired colonel or a NASA scientist, would you live in your hood or in the area you could best serve your country (and world)? The DC burbs are a good choice.
