10 Geekiest Cities in the US

Those who consider themselves geeks might want to head for the nearest big city. In a new ranking of the most and least "geeky" cities in the nation, Lawn Love discovered that bigger cities have the most to offer those of this particular mindset. The survey focused on opportunities for community and things to do—the number of comic book stores, Dungeons & Dragons groups, costume stores, Quadball (former Quidditch) leagues, renaissance fairs, Comic Cons, etc. The list ranges from New York at the top (by a mile) to Miramar, Florida, at the bottom.
