Baltimore's population is STILL above 600,000. It isn't a mid sized city it's still A BIG CITY, and so is Detroit. This thread is about MID-SIZED CITIES with
stable or declining populations. (Exception being Portland) (Mid Sized city exception- Mobile; too small, Portland; too large)
So, let's STOP bringing other cities into this thread and focus on the one's that this thread is about....
The title of your thread is, War of the Mid-Sized cities/metros.
The fact is some of the cities you posted as being mid-sized cities don't even resemble a city as they don't offer the amenities or function like some of the other cities you listed. They can be best described as large suburbs. Others you listed have been "big" cities for several decades. They may have declined in population, but their surroundings have grown at healthy rates and they still function and have the amenities of every other major, big city. Therefore, to compare some of these cities to one another is pointless.

Okay, I meant war of the mid sized cities and their respective metros. The same midsized cities that I put in the original post.
Whatever man, if you don't like the thread or if you personally have a problem with the way I do things then ignore me, and ignore this thread. Because I'm getting sick and tired of running into you.
Once again, I'm not trying to be rude, but just either stick to the da*n topic or get the off and go to another thread.

Look man, I have nothing against you, but I do think some of the threads you choose to start aren't well thought out and the information you use to back your posts is just plain wrong. If you continue to post threads such as this, expect me to question your reasoning. If you continue to post wrong information, expect me to correct it.
Here is the list of cities that I have for this thread.
Any information is appreciated.
Which of these cities are the best! based on this criteria:
- Quality of Life
- Crime Rate
- Theater/Art Scene
- Skyline
- Weather
- Overall cityscape
- Metropolitan area
- Education
- Cost of Living
- Music scene
- Popular Tourist Attractions
- Beach/Water Fronts
- Major Rivers and impact on the city
- FOOD
- Shopping
- Economy
- Professional Sports
- College Sports
- Natural Scenery
You can talk about any of the above criteria for any of the cities listed below. It's going to be a strong compare and contrast scene, so please bear with me, and keep this a friendly thread.
Pictures are welcomed, and you don't have to talk about all of the criteria from above, but a majority of it would be appreciated.
The Cities:
- St. Louis
- Cincinnati
- Pittsburgh
- Minneapolis
- Tampa
- Oakland
- Portland
- New Orleans
- Mobile
I would also add Orlando, Las Vegas, Boston, Austin, Denver, as well as Kansas City and Miami
Why the hell is Mobile on this list?
