It's a hard fact to swallow, but a recent survey named the Top 5 cities that care. Clearly, Las Vegas doesn't care enough...about anything! According to a recent survey, the results put out by WalletHub, shows that Las Vegas just doesn't have a heart! The survey looked at 100 major cities in the country. It was all based on donations, volunteering, and more.

Considering all this, it was amazing what cities did show up near the top and what cities didn't. For example, a city like Philadelphia...the "City of Brotherly Love", not even in the Top 25! Even more surprisingly, 3 out of the Top 5 were cities back east. Now we know, we shouldn't assume that only small Midwest towns are the most "caring" or the friendliest, but it was kind of interesting to see the east coast well represented.

Other Nevada Cities Clearly Don't Care!

Have to be honest, that The Mike & Carla Morning Show were a little surprised looking down this list. When it comes to Nevada though, Las Vegas wasn't the only city that did not do well in the "caring" department. North Las Vegas bottomed out at #81 on the list, Henderson doing a bit better coming in at #55!

In regard to Las Vegas, it seemed a little surprising to us that our fair city didn't rank a bit higher. In fact, a lot higher for that matter...c'mon, we care, we have a heart. Maybe the fact that it only shows when it needs to show. Over the past couple of weeks, it's been a tough time here in our city. And don't think for one moment everyone in the city banded together and showed an outpouring of concern and care.

But after looking over the article, it takes more than showing care and concerning only during those tough times. We think they mean 24/7...and even though we are a 24-7 type of city, we have to make more of an effort on all fronts to show that our city is always putting it's best foot forward!

Well, with all that said, Las Vegas comes in at #70 on the list. A little bit better than North Las Vegas, but not quite as well as Henderson...of course! Let's do it though...let's find out the Top 5 cities that truly care. Scroll down to see if your hometown made it!
