It's disgusting the number of days that it's offically unhealthy to go outside in that city. Most of that crap comes up from LA through the Tejon Pass and just settles because there isn't enough air movement to get it past the Sierra Nevada. The valley gets screwed in that respect.
I agree drew..although a lot of the crap is made here. The National Geographic had a good article on the cause and effect of San Joaquin air quality and the damn dairy farms are a main culprit..even more than car emissions it said.
None in the midwest, that is why us midwestern boys are so clean and healthy.
I'm so proud, I'm No. 6!!! And thankfully, Houston finally got bumped out of the No. 1 spot for fattest city in the U.S.
Houston #6? These people on crack? That must have been after a very heavy rain.
wow. Dallas/Worth is only #8?!
i don't want to breathe in the other cities!
