How does Atlanta resemble Rome?
How does Seattle resemble London(other than climate). |

Although it's not a European city (although it's very European in culture), I would say Montevideo, Uruguay and St. Paul, Minnesota.
Both are approximately the same size. One is a state capital and one is a national capital. Both cities are nice places with some redeeming qualities that get overshadowed by being in the sphere of influence of a larger city (Minneapolis and Buenos Aires) and generally don't have the same sort of economic highs and lows as the larger cities. Both cities have the same sort of reputation in the larger nearby cities. St. Paul has older Victorian architecture and Montevideo is full of older Spanish/Euro architecture. St. Paul and Montevideo are both a little more laid back than their nearby larger cities.

Erasure....I totally agree. I love your screen name by the way....(Erasure was my favorite group in the late 80's).
When I moved to Florida (Melbourne) it reminded me on the Island Mallorca (Spain).
I am from Berlin-Germany and I have seen parts in Boston which made me feel home a little bit.

It used to be one of my favorite bands too ( probably still is - I dunno.)
As for American cities - they don't remind me of European cities AT ALL. 
(At least I am talking about the ones I've seen in Germany, Italy and Austria.) European cites have so much character to them - the buildings, the parks, the cozy streets... You walk through the alleys and you feel the history, the past events, the writers, the poets, the philosophers that once roamed the city, you feel the "spirit" in them.
What are American cities? The standard sky-scrapers, ( uggh - sorry - they have different "skylines" in different cities,) the tall buildings with shiny glass, that are replaced so often, as soon as the "old" building is "outdated," the cars, the highways, and standard "Starbucks" on every corner. How convinient. 
Once you've seen one American city - you've practically seen them all ( and I've travelled a lot in US - East Coast, West Coast, the Midwest..) They are really unlivable - those big American cities, comparably to European cities... Its' the place to "come to work," to "have business lunch" and to get heck out of there as soon as the clock stikes five.
