I'm glad you do but I have to disagree with your assertion about those kinds of towns not also being found in upstate NY.
PA and upstate NY (downstate being more like Jersey) are nearly twins, especially in their small towns. Heck, they even contain a region called the twin tiers.
As someone who knows about your country way more than a person who has never been there should, I have always been interested about other people's perceptions about it.
Note: I'm from Zagreb, Croatia, so it is a (central) European point of view, it could be different in different parts of the world.
I've noticed that you guys on City vs City give LA way less credit than it deserves when it comes to influence and popularity. It is pretty much tied with NYC, believe it or not. After those 2, there is a huge drop. LA alone could stand against NYC and adding the rest of the state of California (easily the most popular state), makes it pretty obvious. You have SF with Silicon valley, San Diego, Death Valley, Sequoia trees...
N average person here could maybe tell 10 factual sentences about NYC and probably more than 20 about California.

Going by Google Trends, "New York" is a far more frequent search term in Croatia than "California."
Worldwide, Google trends rates the search interest for "New York" at 60 and search interest for "California" at 52.
California edges out New York domestically (50 to 46).
So i'm hearing alot that as a state it's CA and as a city it's NYC but which one would you say has the edge
overall in terms of being famous/popular: California or NYC?

No telling, honestly.
