The largest cities

We were driving through Cleveland yesterday and Ellen said,  "I wonder where Cleveland ranks in size among U.S. cities?"

Not long ago, we would have just gone on wondering, but today, it's easy to get an answer to such a question with a smart phone. The answer surprised us. Cleveland is 48th. We were surprised by the top ten - maybe you will be too (maybe not 1-5, but 6-10 had some surprises: 

1. New York City
2. Los Angeles
3. Chicago 
4. Houston
5. Philadelphia
6. Phoenix
7. San Antonio (big surprise)
8. San Diego (another surprise)
9. Dallas
10. San Jose (yet another) 

Three of the top ten U.S. cities are now "saints" !
