It’s not necessarily broadband related – but I think it’s a good sign for a community that can make good use of broadband. According to Movoto (a real estate site), Minneapolis makes the Top Ten Nerdiest City list.
Here’s the full list:
- Atlanta, GA
- Portland, OR
- Seattle, WA
- Sacramento, CA
- Minneapolis, MN
- Boston, MA
- Las Vegas, NV
- Miami, FL
- San Jose, CA
- Denver, CO
And the criteria for nerdiness…
- Number of annual comic book, video game, anime, and sci-fi / fantasy conventions
- People per comic book store
- People per video game store
- People per traditional gaming store
- People per computer store
- People per bookstore
- People per LARPing group (live action role-playing)
- People per science museum
- Distance to the nearest Renaissance faire

Clearly not much of a nerd here!

I love these criteria for Nerdiness, including the fact that they include visits to bookstores and comic book purchases!
