Which mid-sized Southern cities have the most walkable, vibrant, populated urban cores?

Charleston feels more urban because the Meeting street buildings are 4-6 stories. Broad and King streets don't feel quite so urban to me, although new development is building up King St a bit.

I've made one visit to Columbus GA but I seem to remember taller buildings and a more built up downtown shopping district.

You have reading comprehension issues in the worst way.

I said that DOWNTOWN, DOWNTOWN, DOWNTOWN Athens is more urban and walkable than the downtown of Columbus; I said absolutely NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING about which is more urban overall. It is YOU making the claim that Columbus is overall more urban than Athens; I'm asking you how and you're evading because you don't have anything to support that assertion.

If you don't get it now, then don't even reply.

Not just him. I'm disputing that too.

FWIW, telling someone they "win" and then continuing on with your argument makes no sense.. among other things.
