Haha, more like distant relatives! Those cities are all pretty far away from Atlanta.
They may be far off in terms of miles but it is predicted that in the next 50 years Atlanta, Charlotte and Birmingham will form one Mega Region with nonstop sprawl so that is how we will connect.
I would say DC- Silver Spring, Bethesda, Alexandria, Arlington (although Arlington is really an urbanized county, and SS and Bethesda aren't incorporated)
You can't go by "city limit" populations alone for this. there are sprawl-burbs that have higher populations than Cambridge and but are less of a city. Cambridge has a land area of only 6.43 square miles and a population density of well over 15,000 people per square mile. Forth Worth on the other hand has land area of 292.5 square miles and a population density of 1,827 people per square mile.
Populations for a city-proper hardly tell the whole story. While Cambridge has about 1/7 the population of Ft. Worth, it has that population on about 1/48 the land of Ft. Worth. Cambridge may be smaller, but it's far more of an urban area than Ft. Worth is. It's also directly across the river from Boston and was settled at about the same time.
Cambridge is very much a sibling city of Boston.
Cambridge is also probably much more important than Ft Worth...it's funny that Ft Worth is geographically over 45 times larger than Cambridge but has about 1/3 the total office space.

I sure as hell hope not. It would destroy a beautiful region if Birmingham, ATL and Charlotte combined.
