2. We Made #1 "Drunkest City"
Boy am I proud! I think it has something to do with the altitude


Which city do you think is the drunkest in America? According to the September issue of Men's Health Magazine, the dubious honor goes to Denver, Colorado.

The magazine looked at factors like the number of DUI arrests and alcohol-related traffic deaths to rank 101 of the nation's biggest cities in terms of "drunkenness."

Aside from Denver, the following cities also got failing grades: New Orleans; Spokane, WA; Kansas City; Albuquerque; Anchorage; and El Paso, Texas.

Among the most sober cities in the survey are Montgomery, Alabama and Yonkers, New York; New York City and Miami also made it close to the top of the list.

3. NJ property tax very expensive....
We lived in NJ for 6 years. We didn't buy the house we really liked because the property tax was 14K a year. This was just a middle class community, not rich. The property tax on the house we bought was 6K a year. We lived near the Betsy Ross Bridge which is a bedroom community to Philadelphia. The same day my hub retired, we moved to Arizona. Our property tax in AZ is $1,200 a year. We love AZ and Gov. Janet Napolitano.
