Incidentally, Paris, Ontario is the Paris of Ontario, and Paris, Texas is the Paris of Texas.

Don't forget Paris, Arkansas. It is home of the world's biggest Magazine.

I won't forget now that I’m acquainted with it, thanks to you!

It also has the cutest little Eiffel tower as a fountain!

Is there such a thing as a "Flyover Paris" category?

People forget that the Midwest really is more NORTH than anything. You can't be both Southern AND Midwestern.

I would assume if anything LAS VEGAS would be the Paris of the Southwest.

Tulsa has casinos, right? Then maybe they should be the Las Vegas of the Midwest.

Tulsa can. It's right at the divide between midwest, south and the plains. A lot of it's original founders were elites from the midwest and east. Strange mix of culture in Tulsa.

Brandon settled a bunch of Afghanis in Tulsa after the Taliban ran US forces out of there. Then there is the natural intercourse between Tulsa and oil capital, and the oil producers of the Middle East. Kind of like with the Petroleum Engineering school in Norman.

Yes, indeed. Good call. Maybe South-Central would be a better moniker Tulsa and Oklahoma since Memphis is the heart of the Mid-South.
