State capital set on the Plains. It's on a river (Missouri River, I believe?) I imagine it's seen some growth in the past decade thanks to ND's oil boom.

Vidalia, GA
Probably the only place in the United States whose chief foodstuff would qualify for PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) status were it located in Europe. We Americans play much more fast and loose with place names as signifiers for foods than Europeans do, as anyone who has picked up a package of, say, "West Virginia Brand" bacon and read the label that bears "Made in <mumble>, SC" beneath the brand name, purchased domestic Parmesan cheese or bought a bottle of "champagne" from New York State should be able to attest.
But you won't find sweet onions called "Vidalia" originating from anywhere other than the handful of counties surrounding this Georgia town. These onions aren't for cooking - you eat them raw; they're great in salads and sandwiches because of their sweetness. I know of some people who eat them like fruit.

State College, Pa.
Reminds me of Cookeville. There are neat museums there including the discovery exhibits for children. Great university despite the unmentionables that occurred years ago.
One of the "Quad Cities" straddling the Mississippi; the other three are in Illinois. Prizes its park-like Mississippi riverfront so much the city refuses to build levees along it.
Jersey Shore, Pa.
It's actually both Davenport and Bettendorf, which are in Iowa. The other 2 in Illinois of the Quad Cities are Moline, and Rock Island.
Randomly found this thread looking through older city vs. city threads, so I guess I'll revive this thread.
Never been to Blowing Rock. But from googling it, it seems like it'd be a nice small and quaint town in western North Carolina.

Fayetteville, AR
Home to a bunch of wild pigs.. probably an exciting place to be on a Saturday in the fall when there is a home football game. Probably a nice place to spend 4 years in college.... Hills are close by. Kinda remote.

Cincinnati, Ohio
Very extensive and suburban. Decent and underrated downtown though. Great signature dish (Cincinnati chilli )

Paris, Texas
A smaller regional city in northeast Texas, but don't know anything else besides that. I know per internet pics there is a miniature replica of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, TX, but don't know about anything in Paris beyond that.

Omaha, NE
Nice, wholesome Midwestern city. Site of a neat pedestrian bridge crossing the river into Iowa. Their airport is called Eppley Airfield (instead of "International Airport").
