Blame it on Moses

We know you like lists. We do, too. And although lists have become popular ways of sharing information (VH1 ring a bell?), the format is nothing new. We think a guy named Moses actually started the trend about 3,500 years ago with these two tablets he brought down from a mountain. This issue of Cityview is certainly not the 10 Commandments, but we do think you will find it to be another great read.

This is our second annual “Records and Rankings” issue, an edition focused on lists of local information. We are not strangers to raw data, as our staff sifts through mountains of information each week for our “Rap Sheet” and “It’s Your Money” features alone. Last year, we decided to compile a chunk of the interesting — but unused — data into one issue. We admit it; we went a bit overboard. So, this time around, we decided to condense the data by editing it down to what we felt would be the most interesting and appealing to each of you.

Fed up with high gas prices?

With gas prices going through the roof, we decided to provide you with a few options on how you can save money at the pump. In this five-page section, you will find ideas on how to maintain your car efficiently, what fuel efficient cars you can buy and some alternative transportation options.

Thanks for reading.
