Oh I left home this morning right around the time the thread was posted and then wasn't online again until about an hour or so ago. :P

Though, quite frankly, I don't know what Boston has to be snobby about.

What makes that factoid particularly fun for me is the way the meaning of snob has evolved; we would now call the nobs snobs.

I believe William Thackeray's "Book of Snobs" influenced the change in meaning from simply a non-noble to what we presently mean by "Snob."
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Chicago doesn't seem that snobby to me. :hmm:  HAHT DAHGS

Yeah, I thought the Hog Butcher to the World and City of Broad Shoulders was an odd place to accuse of snobbism.

It's a symbol of how "important" you are. How many people go to Cleveland if they're not on business or visiting someone they know?

Birthplace of the Revolution.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
