Out of all of those, New Orleans and Savannah (maybe Charleston) are the only ones that are even remotely interesting. The rest are nondescript, soulless Sunbelt cities.

...that you've never darkened the doorstep of. Just admit it. You have no idea how they are. And even if you did, most people don't agree with you. Your opinion is not a popular one.

No your reply was the silly one and shows that you have no clue what you're talking about. And your point was about the cities, not just downtown so if you don't see how diversity gives cities soul and character, then you simply don't know how any of this works. Overall, I'd take the soul and character of Miami, Atlanta, and Houston over that of Minneapolis any day.

No, this reply is a bit silly. Atlanta, Houston & Miami are distinctly different from Minny. And none of them have ever been dusted with a light blanket of Pillsbury flour.

The same could be said about soulless, Upper Midwest cities. And Fargo is too small to count, so that would basically mean Minny. At least you have fried cheese curd, though. That's...um interesting, I suppose.

Serous question - have you EVER been outside of the Upper Midwest? Your responses to multiple threads would indicate not, and your views seem VERY provincial concerning anywhere not in your immediate vicinity.

Answer - NO. It's fairly obvious by this person's comments.

Bay views, actually. And I am limiting my opinion to Miami only. I love Miami Beach. Posters often seem to confuse the two on here.

Of course I have. I've been all over the country.

Believe it or not, a lot of America looks and feels the same, especially in Sunbelt cities.
