Is Lancaster, Pa., more like Lexington, Ky., or Portland, Maine?

Lawrence is a cool town. I used to live there. Anyway, I'm leaning towards Lexington since they're both inland cities. Is Rome, GA more similar to Paris TX or Cleveland, TN

Cleveland is not too far from Rome

Is Camden, NJ more similar to Newark, NJ or Chester, PA?

Chester. I often regard them as the most similar cities in the country, with just different demographics.


Is Baltimore more similar to Atlanta or NYC

Id say NYC. Both Pre-Civil War Industrial Northeast cities by the Sea. They just have diverged incredibly since 1950, but stil more similar than not.

Is Orlando more similar to Las Vegas or Atlanta?

Las Vegas. Cookie cutter, smaller metro, more 24 culture, entertainment based economy.

Is Nashville more similar to Charlotte or Indianapolis?

Charlotte. Similar in size and an upper south metro.

Is Boise ID more similar to Denver CO or Greenville SC?

Denver. They both are western cities in the Mountain Time Zone. Is Waco, TX more similar to Eugene OR or Springfield, IL?

Springfield, IL. More farms and focus on ag. Schools put both on the map. More affordable.

Is Franklin, TN more similar to Cumberland, MD or Columbia, MO?

I'd say Columbia MO since it's bigger. Is Corpus Christi TX more similar to Fort Myers FL or Biloxi MS?

Probably Fort Myers, both located in very populous states with multiple big metro areas
