Many people recognize it by hearing the phrase "Dallas-Fort Worth", but don't really know much about it (good or bad).

Roanoke, Virginia
Beautiful, underrated (IMO) mountain city. We drive through there on our way to visit my in-laws in New England.

Omaha, NE

An all around odd place to figure out. It was a capital of the Confedaracy, but tea is often served unsweet (a Southern staple is sweet iced tea). My impression was that people seemed overly brusque, but that may be unfair as it was a quick impression. It also has an odd mixture of decay and stagnation, but equally powerful revitalization and booming new development.

Greensboro, North Carolina

I feel an underappreciated city nationally. Really nice in a lot of ways. Seems more like a large suburb than a central city if a metro. That's neither good or bad, just an observation. I have lots of family there. I like Greensboro.

Albany, NY

Economic powerhouse where it's possible to live a decent lifestyle in a nice home without struggling like other big cities, nightmarish weather (hurricanes, oppressive heat and humidity), more aligned culturally with Deep South than most of Texas.

Carbondale, Illinois

All I know is it's a very rural town that's much closer to St. Louis, MO than Chicago, IL.

Wilmington, NC
