Both are absolutely beautiful neighborhoods with gorgeous homes. I prefer the Baltimore neighborhood slightly since the houses are a bit further apart.
I pick Franklin Street in Chapel Hill. Appears to have a better selection of small businesses and its commercial district goes on for several more blocks. That and Chapel Hill (and adjacent Carrboro) are pretty charming.
I wouldn't care to live in either of these places. But I'll go with Seattle since the winters aren't as extreme and there's tons of stunning outdoor scenery and recreation not too far away.
Birmingham here. Talahhassee is one of the least interesting cities in FL, and the lack of sidewalks turns me off. Its just your typical deep south "country" street with a mix of lower to midscale housing along it, and honestly feels very exurban despite being technically in the city limits. It doesn't feel very polished, which is something that I prefer. Birmingham however remains a hidden gem unlike many cities its size in its region, and this streetview proves it right here. Located just outside of the busier sections, the B'ham example has a sidewalk along with some street lamps and more interesting housing along it. Its not far from a Jewish community center so its likely far more progressive and diverse. Its just several blocks away from where the urban-feeling part of the city begins with Avondale as well, and I could easily bike to downtown from there.
Now moving into some classic East Coast inner city density with a mix of residential and retail in somewhat sketchy neighborhoods:

The Syracuse neighborhood struck me as more picturesque off the cuff, but it looks like the Buffalo neighborhood has more amenities, like the nearby large park. So I would go with Park Meadow.

They're both cute and quaint, but I really love the Asheville shopping district. Very unique and at first glance, I thought was a residential neighborhood - very cool!
