I would question the value of this poll. Just because a city prints a lot of newspapers, it shouldn't be considered a well-read city. Washington D.C. is a classic case of this.

It is one thing to be a city that reads a lot . However, to be well-read, shouldn't it require that the material being read is worth reading ? This should automatically exclude Washington D.C. from anyone's list.

Where does Iowa's city rank? Since Iowa tops in education and has a low drop out rate, wouldn't that have a factor in the results? What is the journalist testing- what were their measures and what is the validity of this survey? Surveys are fun, but really how accurate are they?

I moved from Minneapolis - believe me, it's not the most literate city in the U.S. It should have read " The city with worst crowd of borrish eletist's who look down on the unwashed mass's"

D.C. needs to be given back to Virginia, and the capital should be moved to Denver. (Incidentally, I am from St.Louis , but Denver is the greatest!)

What else would you do in Mnnesota in the Winter, except eat, drink, sc... and read! Good for them! They are number 1 in something besides snow.

The title should have read, "The city with the most literature available". It does not mean that the people who live there are more or less literate than anywhere else.
Nothing in the survey referred to people. Just the city resources.
