I know a girl that used to write for Avenue and left after a year because of what shoddy and lazy journalism it was. I always meant to ask her about these hilarious lists.

Avenue is essentially made up of new journalism grads that don't have the experience to get hired anywhere else. High turnover rate, writers with not much experience, that sort of thing. So I bet this list is compiled by a few kids in their early 20's that haven't actually experienced most of these neighborhoods, so do things like rank Forest Lawn high-ish because of it's proximity to downtown, and MacKenzie Towne low because it's not very central and has a traffic circle
