This month, Real Simple did a list of the top 21 time-saving cities. The magazine ranked cities based on how easy and fast they are to get around; how long it takes to see a doctor or the response of emergency services; availability of wireless and broadband and resources such as 311 hotlines; bike friendliness and recycling; and on the number of personal trainers and takeout restaurants per capita. Dallas came in at number 16, in a tie with Cleveland. We scored a 14 on the time-saving scale (getting around: 2; health and safety: 3.5; information and technology: 3; green time-savers: 3; lifestyle: 2.5). I think Dallas should have had a higher score in lifestyle, but I’m biased.
Also in the same issue, I learned I could use a ketchup bottle as a pancake dispenser. So there’s that.
