Some states have two "dominating" cities that are often compared since they are the two most important cities- and usually the two largest (based on metro). Many are similar size and comparable as far as importance in the state economy.
Criteria:
Entertainment/Nightlife
Economy
Crime
Food
Culture
History
etc.
Which of the following cities win based on this criteria?
California:
Los Angeles vs. San Francisco
Missouri:
St. Louis vs. Kansas City
Tennessee:
Nashville vs. Memphis
Texas:
Dallas vs. Houston
Oklahoma:
Oklahoma City vs. Tulsa
Pennsylvania:
Philadelphia vs. Pittsburgh
Ohio:
Cleveland vs. Columbus vs. Cincinnati (Couldn't pick which two are the most important in OH)
Florida:
Tampa vs. Miami
Some may be obvious (like in Pennsylvania), but its still can be subjective for some people.

Florida and Pennsylvania don't belong here.
Miami is more dominant than Tampa by a decent margin. while Philadelphia is more dominant than Pittsburgh by a decent margin.
Miami is more dominant than Tampa by a decent margin. while Philadelphia is more dominant than Pittsburgh by a decent margin.
I kind of agree, although I think I can understand what the poster was implying.
While Philadelphia is 100% the dominate city of Pennsylvania economically and historically, Pittsburgh does have a strong cultural influence on the state.
I would argue maybe more so than Philadelphia.
I am guessing the same can be said that while Miami is much more dominate than Tampa. Tampa has a stronger Florida identity overall.
The Miami metro has over twice the GDP and population that the Tampa metro has. Orlando is pretty close to Tampa these days. Pennsylvania has an even bigger difference.
Its hard to see how LA and SF wouldnt be the most dominant city pair in those categories.
