Since you listed mostly cities below the Mason Dixon Line, let me guess which side your name refers to....
Hint: Anyone who mentions the Mason-Dixon line when referring to where they're from is on the side that still can't let go of the fact they lost the war almost 150 years ago.
A northerner would look like a liberal elitist, while a southerner looks like a redneck with an inferiority complex. Not really sure why anyone would say it.

Here's my hint: I am from the northwest originally, grew up in California and have parents from Chicago. We were nowhere near that war. Heck, my family was still in Eastern Europe. Oh, I am also economically and socially liberal.
Good try.
My vote would go to the gigantic "incorporated suburbs" of the Sun Belt. The largest of these are Mesa, Arizona (about 447,000 people) and Arlington Texas (about 374,000 people), but there are many similar cities in the 200,000 range in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Nevada, and Texas.
They are never thought of because they have no real character - they only began being built up in the post-WW2 era, and the original municipalities were either tiny or didn't exist at all. But they are big. Mesa is the 38th largest city in the country!
I think the only one in Colorado over 200K is Aurora, and I'm sure you've heard of that!
Are you sure all of those cities fit the "mid-sized" description? Traverse City has a population of only 14,894.
Sorry, I guess the local recognition made me assume it was larger.
