Ugly Once, Shame On You. Ugly Twice, Shame On Me.
Hey, remember when Travel + Leisure said to the whole world, “Let’s all point and laugh at Philadelphia because they’re soooo ugly!” Feels like it was only yesterday, and it was kind of a bummer, but that was a whole year ago and we’ve gotten over it, sort of. How are we supposed to stand up to fad diet/cosmetic surgery hubs like San Diego and Miami anyway? It’s not like our back yards double as a tanning bed or anything (lookin’ at you Los Angeles). Well, it’s that time of year again and Travel + Leisure is out to name “America’s Favorite City,” and we’ll be damned if we get dubbed “ugliest city” two years in a row. The bad news: You’ve only got 24 hours, so get on that!

Consider it an intervention.

It will help if after you vote for Philly to be beautiful and awesome, you then vote for another city to be really ugly and shitty. And while Cleveland probably fits the bill, I see no reason to make their lives worse than they already are. So I’m voting Houston into the ground and suggest other people do the same. Plus George W. Bush lives there!

We always like to be all wordsmithy and point out that we really weren’t voted UGLIEST… we just came in 25th (out of 25) for most attractive… Ok, I’m TRYING here.
Anyway, yay, vote. I think after the Dwell / Apartment Therapy showdown we are riding high on city pride, so vote and vote some more.
