Same question really, have you any clue about Orlando? I'm not pretending it's some big huge metropolis, however it seems people are underestimating the international drawl and population Orlando has. Not sure it should be pushed up to the cosmo list, but it certainly outpaces those on the not cosmo list.

Again, these cities do not belong with the others on your list. I wonder how many of those you've actually been to.

Been to all except Seattle. Maybe orlando should not be on either list.

There are plenty of other places that could be on the not cosmo list: Cheyenne, Des Moines, Duluth but I have never been there so I didn't list

Any international draw that Orlando has is for Disney. Downtown Orlando is not drawing people at all. Its a very small downtown with not much to do.
