It's like if you said Chicago and I said Al Capone. No longer relevant, but historically a valid association.

What a fun post!

I generally don’t comment on posts regarding cities that haven’t visited personally, but since it’s regarding what comes to mind I’ll proceed with caution-lol.

San Diego – Been there; very pretty and hilly with a great downtown.
New Orleans - Lived 60 miles from there for 2 years. Dangerous in most areas, but very vibrant with plenty of flavor.
San Antonio – Never been; I probably think of Mexico.
Washington D.C. – Been there once; Very pretty/vibrant. Go Obama!
Austin – Never been; Nothing really comes to mind when I think of Austin. That’s not good…
San Jose - Never been; Mexico again.
Atlanta – Go all the time, party town; “The African American Beverly Hills”. Beautiful and hilly with plenty opportunities. Lots of gay men.
Denver - Never been; I think of mountains and snow,
Philadelphia – Been there countless times. I think of history; very vibrant but old and run down mostly. Cheesesteaks and Hoagies!
Detroit – Never been, but I think of dilapidated buildings, rusted out cars and abandoned neighborhoods.
