Fascinating look at Netflix rental trends around the country |
|
The NY Times has an interactive feature about this, and when I look at Minneapolis, what I see is an almost complete disconnect between the choices of suburban and urban audiences. How does your area stack up? http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/01/10/nyregion/20100110-netflix-map.html?hp

Seriously? That's the most rented film nationwide? I mean, it was okay but, well, whatever.

Probably reflects the demographics of Netflix customers in the various neighborhoods. My neighbors seem to have rented "Milk" the most. This town is awesome!

I've had great luck with Netflix here getting whatever I choose. They are mailed from my city so at 1 out at a time I can get as many as 3 a week.
