Hey, nobody said it's Charleston, S.C., but is LA really the nation's rudest city?
In Travel and Leisure's annual America’s Favorite Cities survey, Los Angeles gets a scolding from the magazine's readers, who were asked to rate 35 cities on 54 features.
LA is the rudest city in America, according to rankings posted Wednesday on the magazine's website. In a city that's enjoying 70-degree temperatures in January, why would we be so cold?
Travel & Leisure thinks it might have something to do with the traffic.
According to the magazine:
So after you've spent too much time in traffic, go ahead and overpay in some luxury stores.
Although they've obviously conspired against Los Angeles, Travel+Leisure readers turned on each other on the website's comments board. Our city had a few defenders, including KellyRemarklusMahoney:
Thanks, KellyRemarklusMahoney, we appreciate the kind words.
U.S. & World
But if what other readers say is true, it's time to take a good look in the mirror (possibly in a dressing room at one of our high-end stores). Or maybe, the magazine's readers have just been hanging out in the wrong places.
Other top-10 rude cities: New York, Philadelphia, Miami, Washington DC, Boston, Baltimore, Las Vegas, Orlando and Dallas-Fort Worth.
