talkofthetown - > Talk of the Town -> Bakersfield's no longer No. 1!
Bakersfield's no longer No. 1!
Well Bakersfield has dropped two places in the list of the cities with the worst air, according to the American Lung Association.

Los Angeles is back at the top of the list, followed by Pittsburgh. Then us.

You can read more about it here. (The story is technically embargoed until tonight, but Riverside broke the rules.)

Columnist Robert Price shot me an e-mail about the rankings this morning with a very appropriate subject line.

Does this qualify as 'good news?'

In my heart, Bakersfield is still number  1  !!.

Well, we had a few of our major players out last year.  Also, the housing market meant more people moving back to LA and less commuting.  We're coming back strong next year.
