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?
I'd say Las Vegas. Climate like Tucson and entertainment/tourism of NO. Chicago and Houston?

Toronto? Seems like a combo of Chicago's Skyline and urbanity with Houston's business driven massive freeways


Savannah and San Francisco.

I'll say Birmingham, has that Southern charm but is also more industrial than most Southern cities. Also revitalizing and a bit higher-density like Buffalo.

Santa Barbara, CA. Historic and very well-kept architecture, sleepy yet also dense, but with a coastal California aesthetic flair and climate.

Missoula, MT + Toledo, OH?

Omaha, NE. It is known for its pioneer museums and growing hospitality industry. Has some grit like Toledo but also friendly like Missoula.

Raleigh, NC + Montgomery, AL?

Jackson, MS. High poverty, slow growth, main industries revolve around healthcare, retail, energy/utilities.

Columbus, OH? Since it has a lot of white collar industries(i.e. insurance, banking, like for example Huntington Bank is based in Columbus), colleges that are in that city(particularly Ohio State, but there are a few others too), and it does have some of the challenges other Midwest cities have(i.e. self segregation of where people of various races and ethnicities live, and that it hasn't become as integrated as some others like Las Vegas have gotten).

San Antonio and Nashville? (yeah, I got a little inspired watching a The Food That Built America episode earlier tonight about the rise of both Frito and Lay, eventually leading to both companies merging)

Austin. Texan + big music scene, also has a sprawly layout and hot climate like both of them, and a sharp city-suburbs political divide.

Huntington, WV + Miami?

Charlotte comes to mind. Location of WV and growing cityscape like Miami. If San Francisco and Oakland had a baby?

Berkeley has more of the libertine type of progressivism like SF than the social-justice type like Oakland, but is a bit quieter/less urban like Oakland. Rents are intermediate between the two as well.

Springfield, IL + Sacramento, CA?
