One word to describe a city or state
What would be the first adjective you think of when thinking of cities or states that you've been in?
New York City - Energy
It's the city that never sleeps
Los Angeles - Glamour
Hollywood always comes up first in my mind when talking about L.A.
Chicago - Windy
Ok ok, I know I could have put a much better adjective, but that's the first thing I think of when I think of Chicago. The other thing that pops up right after is "pizza"
Washington D.C. - Power
All about the politics
Philadelphia - "Rocky"
I love Philadelphia, and "Rocky" isn't really an adjective. But, everytime I first see Philadelphia whenever I go there, the Rocky theme song goes through my mind.
Boston - Historic
The whole city just seems to give that vibe off. I don't know why I would think historic first with Boston and not with Philly, but in the end I'm going to blame "Rocky".
Miami - Beautiful
I know there are many dirty parts of Miami, but looking at the overall city, it's such a beautiful place.
Orlando - Childish
It's not really fair, but of course the first thing that pops in my head with Orlando is Theme Parks.

Chicago is not that windy.  That nickname has nothing to do with wind.
The pizza thing sounds good to me though.

Okay, are we doing adjectives as the OP wrote or are nouns allowed as so many have posted them?
