CALIFORNIA BUSINESS MINUTE
Dirtiest Cities
06-23-11
Hi, I am Tim Johnson and welcome to the California Business Minute.
Travel and Leisure has released their annual ranking of the “Dirtiest Cities in
the Nation.” The results are based on public opinion, both residents and tourists.
So while the ratings have come from people’s perceptions and not hard science it
is important to remember a huge part of travel is the way visitors perceive a
destination.
New Orleans moved up from #2 to the highest ranking. New York dropped 4 spots to
fifth. Philadelphia jumped two spots to second and Los Angeles remains third on
the list. San Francisco which was ninth in 2010 fell off this year’s list. Memphis
which was not on last year’s list is ranked fourth.
