Gonna go with Milwaukee.

All three are the largest cities in their states, Milwaukee blends the waterfront of Providence with the larger, more middle America OKC.

How about Tucson and New Orleans?
This is tough but I'm gonna say LA. Desert scenery, large Hispanic population + Mediterranean architecture, somewhat large black population, parties and nightlife, and musical importance.

Fresno + Pittsburgh?

Boise, ID. Newly gentrified. Craftsman, flannel guys/gals, and quickly diversifying economy. Smart investment.

St. Louis, MO + Jacksonville, FL

I've actually lived in both cities.

I'd say that it would be something similar to Memphis if it was a river city. I'd say Virginia Beach/Newport News if it was a coastal city.

How about Boston + Houston?

I would maybe say Dallas and DC suburbs. Not sure I see a ton of DC proper in ATL, beyond being black Meccas.

Los Angeles. Only not as college-town-y as Boston. The child would favor the Houston side of the family.

Charleston, SC, and Charleston, WV?

How about DC?

Diversity, sprawling suburbia, Southern attributes (Although not Deep South) like Houston.

Urbanity, History and scenic like Boston.

Climate kinda meets somewhere in the middle with DC having oppressive humid summers like Houston and a colder winter like Boston.

Not quite sure but possibly Annapolis, MD? It reminds me of Charleston, SC for this historic core but maybe more similar to Charleston, WV when it comes to scenery (hills)?

SLC and Las Vegas?

Mesa, AZ has a hot climate and cacti without the massive, proximate mountain ranges like the Wasatches and Oquirrhs, but also has light rail and a large LDS population.

Yakima, WA + Boston?

Yakima, WA + Boston?
Aurora, CO... a large suburb that seems like a good blend between an isolated small city like Yakima and a large metropolis like Boston. It has proximity to mountains like Yakima but can still claim to be somewhat "centrally" positioned between the two locations. Demographically, it's a great blend between the two cities too.

Provo, UT + Tuscaloosa, AL?

Provo, UT + Tuscaloosa, AL?
Manchester, NH - close to the mountains while also being a quick interstate ride from a bigger city like Provo. Eastern and with a more industrial history like Tuscaloosa. In a more conservative, "business friendly" state like both. Higher Ed is important to its economy in SNHU and to a lesser extent Saint Anslem also like both.

Providence + San Antonio?

San Diego.

Shares the Hispanic/military culture of San Antonio, while throwing in the higher education, coastal life, and Italian-American culture of Providence. Inherits Sea World and the warm climate from dad, along with the proximity to an Alpha world city courtesy and close proximity to hillier areas from mom.

If Little Rock, AR and Buffalo, NY had a baby, what would it be?
