Well, finally. Sure, we're fat and crime-ridden (leading to DJ Wilson's suggested CVB slogan, "St. Louis: Fat, Sassy and Lethal"), but we got up some learnin', too! In the U of Wisconsin's Most Literate Cities rankings, the Lou comes in a respectable No. 13 (out of 79).

Of course, the place we found this tidbit, the St. Louis Public Library's "Check It Out!" newsletter, had the URL of the study wrong...but we figure that's just a typo, not indicative of something greater.
