Things I Learned Today

I knew the first six, but I didn't know San Antonio was seventh. I wouldn't have bet that San Antonio was bigger than Dallas (that kind of devalues that expression, doesn't it?) I think most folks who don't live in Houston are surprised that Houston is fourth. I didn't realize that New York was as big as LA, Chicago and Houston put together.
