Cincinnati Ranked number 1 for Night life?!

Folks, this is proof yet that polls and rankings are useless. I suspect someone is having fun and playing a bad joke on the Cincinnati media outlets. I'm watching the 11:00 news and Channel 5 News broke with "Sorry New York! But Cincinnati is ranked number 1 in nightlife! More of this later in the broadcast, but first, Is your pet physic? blah blah blah....normal news follows".

Lets be totally honest, we got nothing over other cities like Austin, Chicago, Houston, or New York. Looking at the Forbes results below, I see that Cincinnati also out ranked the above cities in Culture? Cost of living ranking I can understand, since we live in the middle of nowhere, the cost better represent that. And yes, I agree with the Online ranking we still need to learn about the On-line dating scene (Cleanest version I could fine).

And areas that we try to be cool, we completely blow it:
  • Purple Lemming Run - Admission cut in half and it still sucks.
  • Jillians - A cool enteranment outlet closes
  • Kings Island - Paramount is no longer the owner. No more Star Trek characters interacting with the crowd. Best experience we had there when Paramount first took over Kings Island was with my son when he was about 8. We walk up to these two heavy armed and top heavy Klingon female warriors. Man they were hawt!!! I look down at my son and said "Sorry, I don't think you can give these characters a hug". And in complete character, the female with the bigger...um...teeth, ya teeth...she said "We don't initiate hugs, but we do respond accordingly". So my son got his hug, and as I made a motion to initiate, she pulled her blaster. Darn.

You should be able to click on the below city links to take you straight to Forbes and display the details and methodology used. I suspect heavy crack usage.
