What smaller city/cities could you see gaining more national attention in the future... Compared to the larger and more famous city/cities in the state... The critieria would be jobs, industry, growth rate, etc..........
My picks...
Augusta/Savannah - Atlanta
Tampa - Miami
Knoxville/Chattanooga - Nashville/Memphis
Austin/Forth Worth - Houston/Dallas
Columbus/Akron - Cincinnati/Columbus
Durham/Greensboro - Charlotte/Raleigh
Sacramento/San Diego - LA/San Francisco
Huntsville - Birmingham
Lexington - Louisvlle
Pittsburgh - Philly
Tucson - Phoenix

Augusta and Savannah aren't about to outshine Atlanta any time soon.
For some of these, the smaller cities won't necessarily outshine the larger cities, but will come up to a similar level as the larger cities, like in Texas.
For NC, Durham is really part of the Triangle along with Raleigh, so for the purposes of this discussion, they truly belong together. And no, Greensboro is not about to outshine Charlotte or the Triangle any time soon.
Columbus is on the same level as Cincinnati and Cleveland, and it already outshines them both in terms of job and population growth.
The only one on this list that seems accurate is Huntsville and Birmingham.

First of all, you've got to take a long-term approach to this and stop hyping up every list that comes out every month. Secondly, we're in the middle of a recession, so that's throwing everybody off a bit right now. Thirdly, Atlanta has huge advantages for long-term economic growth that aren't going anywhere, advantages that neither Augusta or Savannah have. Just be happy for your city and the corner it's turning, but don't get ahead of yourself.
No way Akron outshines Cincinnati/Cbus - btw, how can Columbus outshine Columbus? I assume you meant Cleveland/Akron - Cinci/Cbus? Even so, the answer is still no, NE Ohio has been on a steady decline for a couple decades now while Cbus has been ascending.
Ft. Worth is essentially the same metro area as Dallas, so not sure how you justify that unless people start referring to the metroplex as "Ft. Worth-Dallas."
Agree w/Akhenaton06, Greensboro is not over-taking Charlotte or Raleigh anytime soon.
No to Lexington/Louisville, Tuscon/Pittsburgh, Sacramento/LA & Augusta/Atlanta as well and highly unlikely for Pitt/Philly & Knoxville/Nashville.
I think Tampa & Miami are pretty much on the same level as it is now w/little separation between the two.
Ft. Worth is essentially the same metro area as Dallas, so not sure how you justify that unless people start referring to the metroplex as "Ft. Worth-Dallas."
I saw where he split up Raleigh and Durham, but didn't pay attention here to Dallas and Fort Worth. Dallas and Fort Worth are tied to the hip, so in the context of this discussion, they should be considered as one.

I had Columbus listed twice in the first list, and replace it with Cleveland in the second...
