Of course it's impolite to brag, but one could excuse Charleston just this once.
The coastal city again tops the unofficial list of the best-mannered cities in the United States.
It's the 10th time and the ninth year in a row the city has taken or shared top honors since etiquette expert Marjabelle Young Stewart began compiling her annual list 27 years ago. The unscientific survey is based on faxes and letters.
Mayor Joseph Riley Jr. said the awards simply reflect "the good hearts that we find in our city's people."
Several Midwestern cities tied for second -- Springfield, Peoria, Moline and Rock Island, Ill. along with Bettendorf and Davenport, Iowa.
Pensacola, Fla., San Francisco, and the Omaha, Neb., and Council Bluffs, Iowa, area round out the top five. Next come Nashville, Tenn., New York, Seattle, Chicago and Los Angeles.
