Excluding the big 4, Miami, ATL, Houston, and Dallas...which southern metros most have that living urban core feeling to them? For the sake of this thread i'll say metros of 500k+ or so.
Was surprised to see a study that showed that Columbia is one of the cities in the US in which most people walk to work, wasn't expecting that one! I often read about Greenville's core, but not Columbias!

Columbia is more centralized than Greenville so that makes since. But Greenville's core, while smaller, has more synergy and after-hours pedestrian activity at the moment.
But NOLA tops this particular list pretty handily. Of course Charleston is up there as well.
NOLA! For sure! Savannah, Georgia as well if you consider it large enough.
It just misses the threshold as its metro isn't 500K+ but I don't think that means much in real life. It has a core more impressive than that of other cities with larger metros. Same goes for Asheville.
I mentioned Charleston earlier; I think it's the clear second choice after NOLA.
A couple of others worth mentioning are Richmond, Louisville, Nashville, Austin, Memphis, etc.
Yea the 500k+ number in my part is pretty arbitrary, so Savannah and Asheville definitely make sense!
