How? Do you mean they didnt grow into major cities with millions of people in their metro areas like their earlier peers? If so, gotcha.
I dont know about lacking urbanity though. I've heard many describe Savannah, Charleston, and New Orleans as more "urban" than the sprawled, much more populous southern metros that developed much later (Charlotte, ATL, Dallas, etc.)
They are really not, a better match for philly would be boston or chicago, just because the size and influence, boston is also much smaller than philly, but it is a more powerful city than baltimore, i do like baltimore more than boston, but im being realisitic in the comparisons.
NO WAY! El Paso is a Border/Milatary town. Albuquerque is a different dynamic and a lot more artistic and eclectic than El Paso. Albuquerque is more comparable to Tucson. El Paso is in a league of border cities, their own entities really.
Ah, then we'll agree to disagree. I've spent a lot of time in both, on business granted, but culturally and physically they seem similar to me.
Memphis and Louisville. Both are aging river cities, about the same size, growing at about the same slow pace. Both are home to urban universities with a long history of basketball. Both are home to large airport cargo hubs (Memphis - FedEx, Louisville - UPS).
