Rochester, NY. A former tech giant with Xerox, Kodak, and a decent outpost of IBM, the city is gradually losing its relevance over the course of this century unlike Huntsville, which while still pretty small, as a strong tech economy for a city its size and of course known for NASA and Space Camp. Rochester is also much more of a "real" urban city with streetcar suburbs, dense housing, and numerous neighborhood retail strips and a stronger downtown with numerous mid-and high-rise buildings. Its winters are generally cold and snowy with summers pleasant, while Huntsville has mild winters, very little snow, and long, hot and humid summers. Huntsville still has just a "big town" feeling at its core, despite the ever-expanding sprawl. Northern cities vowel shift accent vs. deep southern drawl with some of that TN twang mixed in. Rochester is pretty flat near a Great Lake while Lots more white diversity as well, whereas Huntsville has some steep hills on its eastern side. Anglo/Scots/Irish with a few "Olive Garden-type" transplants.
What is the opposite of Dallas?

Boston… Its historic, has some hills, world class universities, and the city is dense. Dallas doesn’t really have any of that.

Newark, NJ
For another satellite city of a large metro I'll say Thousand Oaks, CA. Affluent, predominantly white, suburban with a crap downtown, conservative for part of a large metro, no hipster would be caught dead there.

Ponce, Puerto Rico
Barrow, Alaska - Reasonably accessible small Puerto Rican city in the tropics vs an extremely remote small town deep in the Arctic.

Santa Barbara, CA
I'll say Sioux Falls SD. Flat great plains city not very close to water, temperature extremes, and more conservative. Also doesn't have the wealth of Santa Barbara and a much smaller college presences.

What city is the opposite of San Antonio TX?
I'll go with Columbus, OH: small Hispanic population, much less historic, not reliant on military and tourism

Which city is the antithesis of Madison, WI?
I’d throw out Myrtle Beach, SC. A state capital with a lakefront and a university in the north/center of the country vs a beachside resort town in the south on the Atlantic.

If a person is looking for the opposite of Boston and they came up with Dallas, they didn't try very hard. They aren't that similar as far as big cities go, but they still have a few things in common.
A better answer would be some place like Lakeland, FL or Jackson, MS.

What’s the opposite of Wilmington, DE?
Nearish to Philadelphia, coastal so flat, four seasons, on the major road network throughout the country. Probably liberal. First state.
I’ll throw out Sierra Vista, AZ. Very conservative (and I do mean very) military town at the base of tall snow-capped mountains in the hot and dry Sonoran desert. Near the Mexico border (half hour or so) so lots of Spanish but far from the interstates means Sierra Vista is pretty isolated and not part of a greater megalopolis or a suburb to a bigger city it’s very much a borderline “company town” for the US Army. Arizona was one of the latest states to join the union at 48 and the Gadsden purchase in which Sierra Vista was a part of was one of the last land expansions of the United States. Sierra Vista’s neighbors include Tombstone and Bisbee, towns big in the Wild West era that are in decline, versus Philadelphia and Baltimore metros which are at least progressing in some way.

What’s the opposite of Atlanta, GA?
Seattle, WA
Denser, less car dependent/traffic, far less sunny days and cooler throughout the year, a much higher cost of living, more tech oriented, far less black people and a lot more Asians, coastal/surrounded by water etc
Opposite of Princeton, NJ
