Yeah for Atlanta!

Atlanta is one of the country's most literate cities. :^) This year the following study:

http://www.ccsu.edu/amlc08/overall_all.htm

rated it 6th overall. But Atlanta did not make the Top 10 for the booksellers category. It ranked 6th in Education Level. It didn't make the Top 10 in the internet resources category. It didn't make the Top 10 in the libraries category. It didn't make the Top 10 in the newspapers category. And it ranked 6.5 in the publications category. I didn't look at all the data closely enough to figure out how Atlanta ended up ranked 6th overall. Last in the overall rankings? El Paso, TX.

And here for some commentary . . .

I agree, it's interesting.
