But it would also be more cold. I wouldn't exactly call that a win-win for everyone.

Fair point but the summers are dreadful to me personally

I also think the location would be amazing for Houston and would legitimately extend the NE corrider one more city with better beaches for Houston as well.

I like it; never thought of it but a Houston-like city there would be really cool and and great port for all the oil too and maybe get rid of the Williamsburg

Now that you think about it...I'll switch East St. Louis with STL proper, and kick Cairo into Kentucky.

I prefer annex.


Georgia should annex Jacksonville, FL and Chattanooga, TN.


Reason?

Both cities, in a lot ways, are treated like step-children in their current states.


More reason? Jacksonville is often called the Capital of South Georgia; A lot of Chattanooga's Metro is in Georgia--and many in Tennessee see Chattanooga as much a part of Georgia as it is a part of Tennessee.



A commercial jingle that played on Atlanta TV in the early 90's/late 80's:

Too much to do in just one day,
Spend a night two-hours away,
In Chat-ta-NOO-ga this weekeeen-nd!

I'm from Ohio.

Pittsburgh. It already has close ties with a lot of eastern Ohio counties, plus it's awesome.

I wish we had Pittsburgh.. Oh wait. We already have it. xD just kidding.
I was wondering what it would be like if New Jersey had Philadelphia and New York City. That state would be badass.

NJ would go to 19 Million people and an average density of 4K

interesting

oh also 12 million daily riders on PT as a state

Also NY state would become less populated than the revised PA and NY

It would be cool if Grand Rapids was as big as Columbus or Indianapolis, Michigan could do with a second big metro area. It would have also been nice to see Detroit go along a more Chicago like route, I've heard Detroit described as a mini-Chicago before the mid 1960s. Lastly, a large city in Northern Michigan would be pretty neat as well... Sault Ste. Marie the size of Minneapolis would be cool, though considering the climate (COULD a major metro area develop this far up North?), I'd settle for something a bit bigger then Duluth or Thunder Bay, I'm sure a 200k+ city population would be do-able.
If we were just annexing nearby cities in neighboring States, Toledo was ALMOST part of Michigan. Michigan and Ohio even had a little, nearly bloodless war over it!
