yep. Wth. Btw, do they mean DC or Washington state?

What do you think? Take a hard guess

Someone said it's because of the Mall of America. The MoA isn't even in Minneapolis, and is not a factor in this ranking.

Someone else said Minneapolis usually gets skipped over for concerts.

Everyone who's anyone has been to First Ave, and Target Center gets all the huge artists.

Orlando's not on the list?

SD Zoo.

Cultural tourism. San Diego has no culture. It's one big suburban sprawl.
