Whoever said Buffalo and Rochester, I completely agree. In fact, all of Upstate New York gets overlooked. This region of the country is beautiful, and Buffalo has many great characteristics. Rochester reminds me of Akron and Dayton. A great midsized city, with great city neighborhoods, a transitioning economy, and great people.
True and some people think all of NY State is the same, when it isn't. A lot of Upstate NY cities are forgotten about and I bet if you ask many former residents, if there were some positive adjustments in terms of the economy and taxes, they would be back here.
- Fort Worth is always in Dallas's shadow but it is a completely different city with a whole different feel. Its actually bigger than Baltimore if standing alone but Dallas is gigantic enough to shadow it. But DFW airport does sorta keep its name out there. Many people think Fort Worth is just a Dallas suburb but its its own distinct city. I think Fort Worth has a more western atmosphere while Dallas is more of an anywhere kind of city, with a very slight Southern feel
- Jacksonville, Florida - overshadowed by larger cities in the state
- Norfolk/Hampton ROads/Virginia Beach never is mentioned much despite being a large metro area
- never hear much about Albuquerque, San Jose, El Paso, Richmond or Columbia SC.
I can't speak for the rest of the country but I don't know of any Texans who think Fort Worth is a Dallas suburb.
I like Ft Worth; nice downtown area and some good steaks I just try to avoid it in July and August
I admit to mostly just driving through Ft. Worth and spending all my time in Dallas. I have only spent a whole day Philadelphia but their city hall building is magnificent it sure caught my eye the first time I saw it and took plenty of pictures.
i also feel as if wichita is forgotten tho being the largest city in kansas. Larger than st. louis and cinncinati and pitsburgh in city size of course not the metro sizes. Wichita is just under 400,000.
Grand Rapids, Michigan (http://www.visitgrandrapids.org/visit-overview.php - broken link).
Always gets brushed aside behind Detroit, Ann Arbor, Lansing, Saginaw, Flint. Even though most wouldn't know off hand, it is the second largest city in Michigan. Under the radar and quite a nice city that isn't doing too badly, even in this economy.
