In article <y314y+h@rpi.edu> weinss@hall106.its.rpi.edu (Stephen Andrew Weinstein) writes: > There's a sign as you approach Albany on the Thruway from the South (e.g. > NYC, NJ) reading "Welcome to Albany, An All-America City." What does this > mean? It means that about a year ago some national civic-minded organization (who's name escapes me right now) selected Albany as an "All-America City". This title is conveyed based on various subjective observations of "quality of life", and the selection committee is lobbied heavily by cities who covet this honored distinction. A city can only attain this distinction once, and presumably keeps it in perpetuity. Over the years, about 200 cities have received the honor of "All-America City" status, but we're not supposed to think that this means that Albany is the 200th best city in America... You decide... brian -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian A.
