Is it the rain? High unemployment? Whatever the cause, Portland tops BusinessWeek's list of most depressed cities.



It's a year-old study. But with this week's cold front and unemployment showing few signs of declining, how different are things?

Other cities landing spots on the list of unhappy places? St. Louis, New Orleans and Detroit. Are they any better off a year later?
