Las Vegas is a poor man's Nashville
El Paso is a poor man's San Antonio
Chattanooga is a poor man's Knoxville
Savannah or Charleston is a poor man's New Orleans
Beyond like the physical build form similarities I feel like Philly and Baltimore also share being a sort of “urban outpost” for bigger flashier richer cities. Although critically Philly is self sustaining while a lot of those Baltimore Yuppies commute to DC. So the CBD is more derelict
Really? I thought those two were on par, and if anything, Chattanooga is booming a little more. But I have not been to TN (it's the closest state with that honor, in fact).
Norfolk would probably fit that label better than Richmond imho.

This makes sense. I found Norfolk to have more similarities with Baltimore. Richmond seemed like it was trying to align itself with D.C. Norfolk has a charming and creative culture energy like Baltimore.
As usual personal sentiments have gotten in the way of actual thought process and sticking to the OP. It's interesting how the thirst to dominate or just take over every thread with the same rhetoric over and over again when mentioning a Baltimore > Philly comparison, rather than accept the comparable.
The thread has nothing to do with who's in one city feeling tied into the people living in another. With people adamant that "People in Philly don't think about Baltimore". Well guess what, people in Los Angeles aren't just sitting at home thinking about Phoenix either, yet those two are being compared by others here also. You don't see posters here shouting that from the hill top just to get a word in. The thread also isn't about one city being a carbon copy of another as no major US city's are as such.
And just what are you talking about here? You're not making sense. Who exactly "thirst[s] to dominate or just take over every thread with the same rhetoric?" Is it you? It sounds that way to me.
You don't have to agree with what everyone posts, but your histrionics are uncalled for. If I or others don't think Baltimore qualifies as a "poor man's version" of Philadelphia, respond to why you disagree, or deal with it.
At the end of the day, it's a forum in which we are supposed to discuss topics. You aren't the forum police re: who is "dominating" or "taking over the thread with the same rhetoric." It sounds like you dislike posters from Philadelphia, which isn't very nice.
C'mon now. I made actual points about why Baltimore is not nearly as similar to Philadelphia as so many think it is. It's a forum in which debate is permitted.
