I just thought this was an interesting little blurb.

San Antonio named among best U.S. cities for summer fun

San Antonio has been ranked the 10th most fun city in America for summer travel, according to Verizon superpages.com

Verizon superpages.com, the online yellow pages directory published by Verizon Information Services, on Monday released a list of the Top 25 Most Fun U.S. Cities.

Verizon compiled the list from more than 1,000 locations where the company publishes yellow page directories.

Cities were then ranked by the number of "fun" places listed in the company's phone book -- including amusement parks, nightclubs, casinos, zoos, aquariums, museums, historical places, botanical gardens, observatories, golf courses, movie theaters and performing arts halls.

Dallas is the most fun city to visit for summer travelers, according to the list. Dallas is followed by Phoenix; Miami; Boston; Portland, Ore.; Denver; Atlanta; Minneapolis; Fort Worth; and San Antonio.

Florida is the most fun state on the list with five cites there making the cut.

"Everybody has his own idea of what's fun," says Eric Chandler, vice president of e-commerce marketing for superpages.com. "But we think these listings are representative of the places where a tourist or local resident could have a really good time."

Verizon Information Services is a division of Verizon Communications Corp. (NYSE: VZ) in New York. The directory publishing division earns $3.6 billion in revenues from Verizon SuperPages, superpages.com and superpages.com/espanol.
