...I readily admit a bias regarding Chi-town though
Chicago is a more exciting and urban city, in my opinion, but strictly on streetscape I'd probably choose Philly (but it's very close).

I went back and forth on Atlanta and Richmond too and it's almost the same deal - Atlanta is obviously much more exciting and urban overall but strictly on streetscape I'd lean Richmond.

I purposely picked views at random, I did not nitpick as you can see from my links.

Fair point... I said of my hometown, Cleveland, it is a chameleon in terms of attractive urbanized areas. Well, here are some of the more ugly, Tobacco-Road-ish streetscapes of the CLE:

St. Clair Ave (Goodrich-Kirtland neighborhood, near downtown)

Residential, Detroit-Shoreway:
https://www.google.com/maps/place/41...!3m1!1s0x0:0x0


Abby Road (backdoor of Ohio City, btw Ohio City and Tremont neighborhoods):
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.4843...7i13312!8i6656

Woodland Ave (just a 1 half-mile east of trendy Larchmere)
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.4883...7i13312!8i6656

Residential a few blocks away from trendy Shaker Square:
https://www.google.com/maps/place/41...!3m1!1s0x0:0x0

Buckeye Rd, (commercial district a few blocks SW of Shaker Square):
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.4800...7i13312!8i6656

Who was complaining? I just said that this still doesn't prove how great a city is because people will obviously only show the best street views. Do you think your city only has a dozen nice streetscapes? And I'm positive it would have just as many that you wouldn't want to share. Anyway...

Why not show your city of ATL in random links as I did?

Very nice... I've been to Richmond, but really in just passing through and really haven't checked it out closely (this will change)... Many of the areas you highlight strongly echo D.C., esp Dupont Circle, Capitol Hill and Adams-Morgan.
