The Narnian effect mainly applies to mid-sized cities, and some bigger cities. Small towns generally are not Narnian, so I believe you.

Seattle really is the best answer to your question. It is basically Minneapolis with better topography and cold salt water but the people who live there try to spin it like it is Xanadu.

I'm not finding much evidence of this term being used outside this thread. The "Urban Dictionary" article was your creation and doesn't look to be the most popular use of the word "Narnian" there. The most popular looks to be "deeply closeted homosexuals."

So from that perspective maybe the most "Narnian" city is Manhattan, Kansas They are third on the list for most men in "arts and design" and fourth on the "least homosexual couples" list. (And yeah I know most men in "arts and design" are actually straight, it's kind of a lame joke)

Ha Ha really you have to bash another city cant speak about your own city you got to bash another . Minneapolis and Seattle are similar both great cities most the people I see talkin up Seattle are not from Seattle someplace else. Like I said in an earlier post I cant say if Seattle is narnia dont care just posting facts about Seattle.

Seattle is a beautiful city and the urban atmosphere is great! The metro area is very nice too. I felt very comfortable there. I'm sure that people who live in Seattle are proud but I'd be proud as well. Nothing Narnian about that!

NYC really does think they are on top of the world.
Not everyone wants to live , visit or even think about NYC yet they are so self abosorbed in themselves

NYC is too powerful, too well-recognized, and has too much media influence to fit the Narnian bill.

The thing is this is still pretty much your term so many of us are just guessing. So it gets to be not so much "our thoughts" as guessing at what you want.

Would Minneapolis work? It's Midwestern and I've seen people here promote it. Chicago or Cleveland? They get a fair amount of promotion. Knoxville, Tennessee? It tends to be in a Republican district, with Republican mayors, but some here have touted it as liberal. And I think it's fairly self-promotional.

Not really. Minneapolis doesn't try to over-exaggerate how liberal it is the way most midwestern cities do, it doesn't need to.

Now, Indianapolis, they are very Narnian.
