Just came across an interesting little study that solidly placed good old Boca Raton in the Top 20.
Hold on. It’s not for the best beaches, finest restaurants, or even for some of the top-notch golf courses.
Drum roll please….Boca Raton is ranked #12 in the world for being the “rudest.” Yup, that’s right. This is according to social media firm Foursquare. The list was based on the number of curse words used in random situations and recorded by people charged with infiltrating English speaking cities throughout the world.
Let’s have a big shout-out for Boca! Obviously, can’t say Jeff and I agree since we’ve had great experiences in the area we call home. Right Jeff? (Yes, Dave).
Here’s the full list. Please note some of the cities that aren’t on the list (i.e. New York). As a New York native, I never really understood that perception. New Yorkers are actually extremely friendly, as evidenced by your’s truly.
1. Manchester, U.K.
2. El Paso, Texas
3. Pittsburgh, Pa.
4. Bloomington, Ind.
5. Riverside, Ca.
6. Tempe, Ariz.
