That waterfall I would argue is why it isn't a River city, the histories of St Louis and Cincinnati are more intertwined with each other despite. Ring on Different Rivers than Minneapolis and St Louis.
New Orleans and Mobile have more similar history than Nola and Memphis. Doesn't mean Memphis or New Orleans aren't river cities.

Anything beyond the founding that's not really true. "Sold Down the River" became a saying because if the economic (and social connection because of the fact the "goods" were people) connection of all the river towns.

The founding of each city? How is Memphis more similar?
What City (metro) deserves to be the queen city of the Mississippi?
New Orleans- at the base of the river with its long history of being the big city on the river, great skyline
Memphis- don't know much about it other than BBQ and Elvis
St. Louis- Larger than both New Orleans and the Twin Cities at one point, the gateway to the west, great history and historic density. Forest Park! Light rail.
St. Paul- a river city at its core, originally named "Pigs Eye"! Now has a diverse economy but still retains its historic charm, Grand Avenue. light rail. The largest airport.
I supposed you need to count Minneapolis (the mill city on the river) as part of St. Paul, but whatever.
History
Economy
Urban Neighborhoods
Parks
Brightest future
Etc...
Saint Paul Minnesota do not stack up against st. Louis Memphis or NOLA.
