Philly! The weather is just like California with temps around 70 degrees and sunny. People are even nicer in Philly than all cities in California. Philly is like the real California. They should put Philly in California, and California would be a trememdous state.
Wait wtf? Philly is the friggin ICON of the damn eastcoast...
I've never been to southern California but I have a friend from there who claims that Lake St in Minneapolis could be dropped into one of the older parts of LA and nobody would notice the difference.
No. We like to emphasize our differences with California. We can drive in the snow, passably, anyway, if not everyone very well. We celebrate winter here! We enjoy our four seasons.

Boston has a lot in common with San Francisco, though it in no way feels like a West Coast city.
I think your last sentence applies to your first paragraph, as well as some of the other comments about Boston, Pittsburgh, Columbus, Madison, Minneapolis, Austin, Denver, etc. (Trying to move east to west here, LOL!) For one thing, despite some of the nonsense you read here on CD, all cities have things in common. Sure, there are probably neighborhoods in suburban Denver that you could drop into the LA complex and not notice much difference, but still. . .
I don't really understand the Denver thing. You can make just as good an argument that Denver feels like Dallas or Kansas City as you can about it feeling like something in California. In fact, I think if you make an actual comparison, rather than one based on how it feels, Denver probably is much more like Dallas or Kansas City than it is like Portland or San Francisco.

Never been to KC, been to Dallas; no, Denver's not like Dallas, either. Surprisingly, Denver is like. . . . Denver!
Re: any comparison of Denver to Portland (Denver's bigger) or SF, we celebrate our sunshine, too!
