Mass Migration

In honor of holiday travel season, The Daily Beast ranks the nations best and worst airports. I don't really fly enough to persuasively agree or disagree with their findings, but their survey did give me a chance to reflect on my recent docking history. For example, Atlanta's Hartfield-Jackson comes in 25th out of 27, better than Miami, Newark, and...well, that's it. The survey, obviously, does not take into account the deliciousness of Atlanta Bread Company. Philadelphia comes in near the bottom, too, ranking 23rd, but--and I feel I must be misunderstanding something here--it places 2nd (best?) for amenities. Unless "amenities" is code for "soft pretzels," I'm not quite sure what they're referring to here. It was nice to see Detroit make the top 5, beating out many otherwise-more evolved cities. Unfortunately, the Detroit airport may be best used to get oneself out of Detroit.

Brace Yourself

Chicago appears to be full of boutique dental offices with punny names. A fraction of the options within walking distance: Sugarfix, Brushin' on Belmont, Always There Dental Care, In Smyle.
