Cleveland Named America's Smartest City

Yeah, I couldn't believe it either. But, apparently, the Intelligent Community Forum (ICF), a New York think tank, chose Cleveland among seven finalists globally for the Intelligent Community of the Year Award. No other American city was among the finalists.

The ICF chooses the cities based on the prevalence of high-speed Internet service. The winner will be chosen at a June conference.

This shows how nutty the world is. Last I checked, Cleveland has a school dropout rate hovering around 50 percent.

Even so, WOO-HOO! Hurrah for the home team!
