Seriously, although at the moment this city is basking in making Number 1 for Best Summers in the country (and from mid July to Mid to late September it is AWESOME) it's also the city with the least vacation time, some of the highest prices and, in winter, the shortest days in the contiguous 48 (Alaska is a WHOLE 'nother animal). We NEED our caffeine, especially Southern transplants like me.
