San Jose #1 again on the safest >500000 pop. I think this is the 4th or 5th straight year at that spot.

Oh and for those super bowl fans that are coming to Detroit I have a list to help you get around and avoid some possible dangers 🙂
Superbowl Rules for Visitors of Detroit
For all the visitors, from other than Michigan, coming to the Super Bowl on February 5, 2006.
1. First, you must learn to pronounce the city name. It's Deh-troit. NOT
DEE-troit. If you pronounce it DEE-Troit then we will assume you are from Toledo
and here for the country Music hoe-down.
2. Forget the traffic rules you learned elsewhere. Detroit has its own version
of traffic rules... Hold on and pray!
3. The morning rush hour is from 6:00 am to 10:00 am. The evening rush hour is
from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Friday's rush hour starts Thursday morning. Weekends
are open game.
4. If you actually stop at a yellow light, you will be rear-ended, cussed out.
If you're first off the starting line when the light turns green, count to five
before going across the intersection. This will avoid getting in the way of
cross-traffic who just ran their yellow light.
5. Schoenherr can ONLY be properly pronounced by a native of the Detroit metro
area. That goes for Gratiot too.
6. Construction and renovation on I-94, I-96, I-75, I-275, I-375, The Lodge and
The Southfield Freeways are a way of life and forever. Just deal with it.
7. If someone actually has their turn signal on, it is probably a factory defect
or they are "out-of-towners"
8. All old men (or women) with white hair wearing a hat have total right-of-way.
9. The minimum acceptable speed on I-696 and I-275 is 85 regardless of the
posted speeds. Anything less is considered downright SISSY. Oh, and don't even
think of allowing more than one car length between cars!
10. That attractive wrought iron on the windows and doors in Detroit is NOT
ornamental. DO NOT get out of your car to take pictures.
11. If you are in the left lane, and only going 70 in a 60 mph zone, people are
not waving because they are so friendly in Detroit.
12. I-275 and I-696 is our daily version of NASCAR/Autobahn
13. It's not M-10, it's "the Lodge".
14. That's not a lake, it's a pothole.
15. If someone tells you it's on Outer Drive, you better hope you have a map.
16. The Michigan left turn is simple. If you want to turn left, go a 1/4 of a
mile past your turn, get to the left, then make a left, then make another left,
then make a right when you get back to the intersection where you wanted to turn
left in the first place. NOW you have gone left.

My city is in the list of ten safest. I'd tell you where I live but then you guys from the bad cities might start coming and take us off the list.
