They are compared to Minnesota. Have you ever been to Lake Forest or Winnetka? Flashy doesn't even begin to describe it.

Still, I see what you mean. Chicago and SF are more "reserved flashy," while Atlanta is "tacky flashy." It's old money vs. new money.

"Tacky flashy" is definitely how I'd describe it, too. I prefer the modesty of the Cities, rather than the in your face bling.

I want to start a which State has the best "King City" Minn. with the Twin Cities or Atlanta in Ga. segment to this thread but I have to go soon. I do think Atlanta has the best public transit of the two. MARTA by a good margin has the highest ridership of any rail system outside the North East Coast except for Chicago and the SF Bay area.
