And I will gladly take the second. And Im originally from the Midwest and I dont recall any "cool art deco" style buildings, just old looking buildings. When you say art deco I think of South Beach, and the midwest look like anything but. And now that I live in Atlanta I don’t see that many strip malls unless I hit the burbs, where Im at intown thee are not many strip malls, we have more mixed used development
Whooaaa there, lets look at who is sensitive now. I through Art Deco in there because I was thinking of a downtown area of a old town around me that has a cool Art Deco style theater downtown. It was just used as a reference to show that each area has positives and negatives. Each area has cool towns and dumpy towns.
Atlanta, Charlotte, Jacksonville, and other Sunbelt cities are not for everyone.

So you drew upon your reference of a "town near you" that has 1 art deco style building in it to try and shed light on the positive? Let me try and read that again without laughing so hard

IMO, we have much nicer architecture than that in the "rust belt."
You're right though, we certainly don't have anything nice up here.
1)Seattle-I would like to visit rather than live. I also like going to NBA games.
2)Knoxville-It's a great super-college town but I would need to be in a larger city.
3)Oklahoma City- I've been there and I think Braum's & Bricktown was good but I feel that I'd get sorta bored quick. I also prefer Varsity over Sonic and I like ACC basketball more than the Big12.
4)Anchorage- I think this counts as major, right? Anyway I just wouldn't want to live here ever.
5)Las Veges- I don't gamble at all. If Atlanta can get low on water than I know that this city in the desert can/would easily.
1) Dallas - Texas and urban sprawl aren't my things
2) Houston - See Dallas
3) Atlanta - Southern culture, traffic, sprawl, crime, oppressive heat - not my style.
4) Charlotte - See Atlanta
5) Nashville - Nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live that far south
Exactly! Sprawls & malls are now scattered liberally around the countryside. The only thing that makes them "cities" is that someone drew a large-radius line around them and filed a charter. Woo hoo! We're a CITY!
That dosent count as a city? Why wouldnt it? What makes a city a city? Why do you have so mch animosity towards sunbelt sprawl cities?
1. Las Vegas
2. Salt Lake City/Nashville tied
3. Dallas
4. Miami
5. Houston
