Which city is the friendliest?
I spent a day in Memphis last week. AMAZING city, and if you've never been there before, definately try to make it out a soon as possible.
People were extremely friendly, as I expected. After a slab of ribs at the famous Rendevous I was stopped by a woman on the street.
"Hey Scott, do you know you're still wearing a nametag?"
"Yeah...I always wear a nametag! It makes people friendlier."
She gave me a puzzled look, "But...you're in Memphis!"
Southern hospitality: you gotta love it. I, of course told the woman I was from St. Louis and ALWAYS wore a nametag, despite the inherent friendliness of certain cities. But, an interesting point, nonetheless.
This article reports that Sydney, Australia has been voted "The World's Friendliest City."
LET ME ASK YA THIS...
What's the friendliest city you've ever visited?

Like HELLO, my name is Blog!
It's actually Perth, with Sydney not far behind.
Just got back from Atlanta - EVERYBODY is a friendly body! Not only friendly, but downright happy and some made me laugh so hard!! Who knew? Megacity Atlanta! VERY impressed; made me want to move there. Visit, you'll see.
I would say Lisbon in Portugal. I was there for the European Football (soccer) Finals in July 2004 and EVERYONE went out of their way to say hello and help when needed.
Did you know...Kentucky's license plates read, "It's that friendly."
Really?
Awesome!
St. Louis RULES!!!!!!
