Do you literally mean a more affordable version of a city or just a similar city?
For the former would it be fair to call Louisville a poor man's Nashville? I would maybe call Memphis a poor man's Nashville but they're too different from one another.
For the latter Florence, AL is a poor man's Memphis. Maybe Cape Girardeau, MO and Paducah, KY along with Tupelo, MS too.
I'd call Bristol or Chattanooga a poor man's Nashville.
Jackson and Little Rock are a poor man's Memphis but I can see a case for Tupelo and Clarksdale also.

I can see this for Chattanooga. Chattanooga has picked up momentum. North Shore is nearly identical to Rutledge/Rolling Mill Hill areas. Hamilton Place is a smaller version of Cool Springs. Downtown has many tourist attractions like Nashville, and Hixon reminds me of Rivergate. Chattanooga does Piedmont and Appalachian influences that are lacking in Nashville, however. Bristol and Nashville are nkt that similar other than their obsessions with country music and race cars. Jackson is definitely a little Memphis. I see some similarities with Memphis and Little Rock but Jackson and Tupelo have more imo.

I'd personally say Jackson, MS, is like a poor man's version of Memphis. I don't think Memphis and Nashville are as similar, as some want to say.
What's Tupelo supposed to be a " poor man's " version of? It cant be Memphis but maybe Little Rock
Meridian is more or less a poor man Jackson.
That makes more sense considering the fact Tupelo and Meridian are one tier below that of Little Rock and Jackson and so would be more of a "poor man's version" of the larger cities just above them on the totem pole.
No, not really. A smaller Cleveland, but not a 'poor man's ' Cleveland. A poor man's Cleveland might be a place like Toledo.
Nonsense. Toledo is a town; not even a major city and has little in common with Cleveland aside from existing on Lake Erie in the same state.
I don't like the phraseology "poor man's" because of its inherent negativity. What it really means is a smaller version. And, yes, Buffalo seems like a smaller version of Cleveland in many ways. A more positive description is: the 2 cities share a lot in common, from general North Central Great Lakes culture, similar physical size, weather (lots of snowfall), economy, demographics, street layout, topography, and architectural style: mostly setback wood-frame houses with lawns and driveways, but accented with walk-up apt buildings, esp mixed-use commercial structures in/near walkable districts. Both cities are Industrial Age babies that exploded populatoin-wise with factories and factory jobs in post-Civil War America of the late 19th Century. The 2 cities also stick out as rare Midwestern -- yes, I think Buffalo is largely Midwestern, certainly its Great Lakes or North Central -- as a city with rail rapid transit. So no, you're way off.

Toledo is hardly a town with a metro population of 650K!
