Forbes ranks Greater New Orleans No. 1 "Brainpower City" in the US


quote:

The New Orleans metro area’s population of college graduates grew by 44,000 from 2007 to 2012, a 20.3% increase, nearly double the national average of 10.9%. (The percentage of college grads in the U.S. stood at 19.4% in 2012, up from 18% in 2007.)


It's not all peaches and cream though:

Too late. Although I'd rather have hipsters than those damn gutter punks.

It's really a sad realization....
