Houston boosting has died down over the past few months. Anytime Houston is being diacisaed now is when its being defended.

From my experience a lot of New Englanders have a superiority complex. The Areas around Cambridge are beyond uppity.

I am not saying that they are not friendly and stuff, they are just better than the rest of the US.

Heck even with Harvard graduates there are distinctions. For example you will hear one Harvard Law Grad looking down on another because that second one didn't graduate from Harvard College (The College).

Austin. It's the bee's knees and the sole job creator for all the lower 48....apparently.
Plus, Texas in general has a kind of big head if you ask me.


But, I think every single city is guilty.
People suck. In general. So...

...the question should be "Cities that DON'T brag online?"

I'd say pretty much every city along I-95, especially from DC and up; it's somewhat warranted though, because there's alot of cool stuff along that corridor. Being in the midwest, we don't have too much to brag about here, but it's still America's best kept secret. We can brag about AFFORDABLE living.

Oh yeah, add LA and the Bay to the list as well.

I concur with you wholeheartedly. As a native Seattlite who spent their formative years in Cambridge while his dad finished up at Harvard, I am absolutely pompous, arrogant, aggressive, generally pretty awesome, and think of myself as a Bostonian

Let me prove a point...

DC comes out hard, then when called out for randomly bringing themselves up, claim they are defending themselves from other people's attacks.
