Many people don't ever ask you this question on CD, at least not straight up they don't, but I want too ask everyone who cares to respond.
People make threads all the time to compare cities, and basically it turns into a thread where people bash each other and their respective cities.
This is what my thread is all about;
What are your top 10 favorite cities?
Based solely on your opinion, and please give a reason why the number one city on your list is your favorite and why the number 10 city on your list is last.
Do NOT bash other people for their opinions on here, I don't want to see another North Vs. South thread, Northeast Vs. West Coast thread, or Northeast Vs. Midwest thread.
Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, please don't bash any cities on here.
cant really elaborate since I am at the airport typing this on my iphone
1. NYC - Greatest city in the world, imo
2. Chicago - my Home town
3. Philadelphia - Just love this city for some reason
4. DC - My home for the last year
5. Boston - lots of family there
6. Miami - South Beach!
7. SF - Dont know the city too well, but love what I have seen
8. LA - Really under rated on CD, but a great city
9. Minneapolis - Brutal winters, but some of the best summers in the US
10. Baltimore - Really lives in DC's shadow, but is a awesome city!
1 Philadelpha - (Home town but really do like it and have lived in other cities; and is a great city plus my home and my family is here)
2 Chicago - Big Brash and even a little bit friendly - just feels like America to me
3 NYC - is what it is
4 Boston - Philly-like and great bay setting and neighborhoods
5 San Fran - see Boston but think west coast and closer to Tuscany
6 Charleston SC - small yet comfortable - a little southern charm and great architecture and core
7 New Orleans - Food music culture, most unique US city
8 San Diego - Ground hog day for pefect weather and La Jolla too
9 DC - Really dot to know the city and love it when I lived there
10 Seattle - but its really Vancouver so this was my US choice - great city too
on my list; sans Chicago and i could make a case for Chicago all coastal cities; just my preferance
1) Krakow, Poland
2) Paris
3) NYC
4) Chicago
5) Vienna
6) Kiev, Ukraine
7) Ljubljana, Slovenia
8) Mexico City
9) San Fran
10) Prague
I went to Krakow in '95 while travelling around Europe (while it was still fresh out of communism and not a tourism hotspot) and fell in love with the city. So much that I returned a couple years later, got a job and an apartment, and stayed there for 5 years.
As for the number 10 city, I guess Prague and Krakow have a lot in common. I really like the vibe of central European cities with their beautiful main squares, great beer, castles close to downtown, and gorgeous women.
1) Santa Fe, New Mexico - best all-around climate in US (for 4 seasons), amazing outdoor opportunities, unique culture and funky vibe...great restaurants
2) Boulder, Colorado - same as Santa Fe but a little colder and too close to Denver for my #1
3) Austin, Texas - much bigger than #1 or #2 but great city with lots to offer culturally and outdoors (for Texas), climate is ok for 7 months or so.
4) Flagstaff, Arizona - beautiful smaller city set against the San Francisco mountains and only 1 1/2 hours from Grand Canyon...unlimited outdoor options, great 4 season climate, college town atmosphere
5) Fort Worth, Texas - another great Texas city...funky western vibe, vibrant, walkable downtown
6) Shiner, Texas - my favorite small (less than 10k people) town in Texas. Shiner beer is brewed here..quaint small town with restored downtown, surprisingly good restaurants and old school soda fountains set in rolling hills of the south texas coastal plain
7) Port Aransas, Texas
8) Taos, New Mexico
9) La Grange, Texas
10) Bishop, California
This is what my thread is all about;
What are your top 10 favorite cities?
Sorry, but if you read the sticky at the top of the forum, you should do a search beforehand to make sure there aren't other threads that are the same (or close) before starting a new one.
First, your title "the big question" is misleading as to the nature of the topic, and once someone opens it, you are asking for people's top 10 favorite cities. You list no specific criteria to compare, plus this topic has been covered in multiple variations before. Please read up on the room sticky for the posting guidelines for clarification: //www.city-data.com/forum/city-...e-posting.html
