(Missourinet)-Time Magazine's top ten comeback list for 2010 includes a number four ranking for Joplin. The mayor says the announcement came as a total surprise, but is a tribute to the town's ability to pick up and move on.

Number one on the list was President's Obama's re-election, followed by Payton Manning's move to the Denver Bronco's and the ratings rebound for ABC television's Good Morning America. The Giants comeback to beat the St Louis Cardinals for the National League Championship is number five.
