See this is a pet peeve of mine. There needs to be a sticky explaining metro governments and their effect on city populations. Otherwise you get people arguing that Nashville is larger than Atlanta!
BINGO! Totally agree. That's a major pet peeve of mine here on C-D. People constantly interchange "city" with metro as if they're the same. There's a big difference in many ways.
Greeneville's urban environment literally feels like one linear strip.
To me it feels like an exclamation point. Both literally and figuratively! Though as south main develops it is becoming more of an exclamation point sitting above an upside down V.

What people don't realize is Louisville has MULTIPLE urban and walkable urban districts.
I think most people are aware that Louisville is much bigger than Greenville. Considerably bigger during the heyday of downtown development and walkable neighborhood commercial districts. Your point is???

Same here, the homers constantly make ridiculous stretches to big up their cities, claiming things 25 miles away, saying that their metro includes 9 counties of cornfields where the tallest building is a silo, so bush league.
San Marcos, Texas is a very nice small town, nestled among the hills of The Texas Hill Country. San Marcos is in the Austin Metro, but it is a stand-alone, self sufficient city, and has been since the year of 1848.

I mean Atlanta can fit into that category of many rural counties within the metro. I also feel like urban areas are the best way to measure a city. I think urban, and city just go together. As oppose to some random places way out where a few people travel to the city so they take the whole county, and make it part of the metro.

I would say Lancaster PA from everything I seen exceeds Nashua NH even as one of the best small cities in the nation. I like the amish influence, the food, and who can forget, ANGRY YOUNG AND POOR. Cigar stores and online retailers/shops also seem to be pretty good in PA.. and I remember Lancaster as well as other parts of PA having GOOD beer distributors. It beats anywhere Upstate NY by miles also.
You can put Lancaster next to Plattsburgh and its no contest. Lancaster wins.

Plattsburgh is smaller than Lancaster and there are pros/cons for each when comparing both. With that said, Lancaster is essentially more in line with Upstate NY cities like Utica, Schenectady and maybe Troy or Niagara Falls in terms of population/size.
Places like Ithaca and Saratoga Springs are a couple of nice small cities in Upstate NY.
