Knoxville is No. 10 on Forbes' list of Best Places for Business and Careers

Is it any surprise? A couple of weeks ago Forbes posted their "Best Places for Business and Careers" list, and Knoxville wound up at number 10. Here's the 9 above us:

1. Raleigh, NC
   
2. Boise, ID
   
3. Fort Collins, CO
   
4. Des Moines, IA
   
5. Lexington, KY
   
6. Atlanta, GA
   
7. Richmond, VA
   
8. Olympia, WA
   
9. Spokane, WA
   

Durham, NC made #12. It makes me glad to see so many Southern cities on that list!

Sure, some folks I know may prefer Southern California, or the New York area, but I'll keep my little Southeastern hamlet, thanks.
