Hey Seattle!

I took it that way, my friend! LOL

As an adendum here though, I might have to seriously consider thinking of starting a thread of what SOUTHERN city makes you feel like you are in a NORTHERN one (or Far West! LOL).

The Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex (DFW) does for sure!

But I am getting off topic, so will stop for now!

Miami feels like a foreign country. When I was a little kid growing up in South Florida I thought Miami was a foreign country, I couldn't believe it was part of Florida.

Miami makes sense since nearly 60% of the city's population is foreign born which is one of the highest percentages in the world according to the UN.

Miami definitely does, then others(not as much but you still feel it) are San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles, San Diego, Parts of NYC, etc.

Portland feels like some larger cities I visited in Mexico, Some very modern bldgs in the downtown and a few areas, but so much poverty, homelessness and begging just like in Mexico.

Parts of Chicago feel like Poland (lots of new Polish immigrants there; the greatest number outside of Poland, I believe).

And New Orleans has it's own special French-Carribbean hybrid.

I've always wondered why people in Chicago seem to have such a difficult time screwing in a light bulb. This explains it!

The city of Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley.

Parts of Dodge City look just like Tiajuana.

I lived in LA for 9 years and there are many parts where you will only find signs in Spanish. Gods honest truth.
