SACRAMENTO-
?Nerd? isn?t necessarily the insult it once was.
Comic book movies regularly?dominate the box office, ?Star Wars? references are a normal part of our cultural lexicon, video game releases have turned into blockbuster events and professional athletes seem to be dressing more and more like Steve Urkel.
Sacramento was named the country?s fourth nerdiest city in a blog posted Wednesday on real estate site Movoto.
The survey was put together by a number of factors: People per comic book store, video game store and science museum, the number of ?nerdy? conventions and the distance to the nearest Renaissance faire.
According to that criteria, Atlanta, Ga. is the nerdiest and Denver, Colo. rounded out the top 10. The only other California city in the list is San Jose, coming in at number nine.
Curiously, San Diego, the home of the San Diego (duh) Comic Con, is absent from the list.
Sacramento came in seventh in Movoto?s list of the top cities for gamers. It?s clear that, at least according to Movoto, that the Force is with the River City.
