Forbes came out with their "
Best Places for Business and Careers" for 2005. Houston came in 13th among large cities, behind only Austin, Atlanta, and Phoenix among true metropolii. Disturbingly, Boise, Idaho came in first. In the section for smaller towns, Pocatello actually came in 11th. Idaho Falls, the equally towned small city where I work, didn't make the list. That actually makes me question the methodology somewhat. If Pocatello is so great for business, and Idaho Falls isn't, then why are all the jobs up here in Idaho Falls?
My first thought was that they were lumping the two together, but the population given (77k) doesn't represent that (Poky and IF each have roughly 50k, not counting suburbs).
Very odd.

Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
