Ohio248, Ohio people are one of the nicest people I've met and the most social. I really like Ohio. Ohio is only 8 hours from New York City. It's nicely located and easily accessible to Indianapolis, Chicago and Pittsburgh. Ohio rules! Ofcourse, you may be just like Max's Kansas city Steak house of the late 70's that had nothing to do with Kansas City. New Yorkers are characters and interesting. You may be a New Yorker who just psychologically put Ohio name for yourself just like many other New Yorkers do. They may call themselves Ottawa even though it has nothing to do with Ottawa. New Yorkers can be wierd at times and funny. So, "go and fly a kite!" as they say sometimes in New York. No, I'm not your Fairy Godmother.
Manhattan248, yeah, San Francisco is a suburb of San Jose, according to the U.S. census. Manhattan is vertical suburb, and San Jose is a city with a real downtown. Sorry. I don't like suburbs! I'm a downtown person.
afonega1, San Jose is better than Savannah, Miami, and Atlanta. Chicago, New Orleans, Montreal and San Francisco are better than San Jose. Even New York, without a downtown, is better than San Jose only because the media feels this way and its 8,400,000 population. I also like its energy and different neighborhoods. People in New york are nice and helpful. By the way, New York is much more urban with its 8,246 highrises. It just that San Jose has a nice, defined downtown which New York doesn't. The food is only ok. Seattle is a tie with San Jose. LA, with its crappy downtown, is better than San Jose because of its population, climate, beaches, attractions and Hollywood. If I had to choose between New York and LA, I'd definitely choose LA for sure because LA has better weather, more fun things to to and more cool neighborhoods like Melrose, Silverlake, Grove, Hollywood, West Hollywood, Santa Monica's 3rd st, walk. Rodeo Drive and Robertson Blvd. I didn't even touch base about Disneyland and Universal Studio.

Ok Now I can rest and just move on because when apparently you are sitting outside with your helmet on waiting for the "short bus".
See I was kinda looking forward to seeing San Jose but now I have no desire what so ever because your over the top claims lets me see that your idea of what makes a great city is way off from what 95 percent of the world thinks.So with that,i'm gonna just let you talk.
From the list I think there already is a buzz around Pittsburgh and Providence, and certainly Portland is "known" by now.
I've actually lived in Sacramento and Louisville, and have visited Baltimore and Pittsburgh. Baltimore is pretty interesting...I can see it as a "sleeper", underrated. Pittsburgh is great. I'd move there in an instant. Is it really still underrated?
Sacramento is probably underrated since its overshadowed by the other large California urban centers..the SF/Oakland Bay Area, LA, and of course San Diego....people probably think "...eh, Sacramento, a bigger Bakersfield or Fresno....", but ithe place is fairly large, sort of a little LA or (maybe) Phoenix, and its on a river. Since Sacto is so sprawly whats "old" is very precious, so the older parts of town have undergone quite a bit of gentrification. The parks and tree-lined streets make the place softer than one would expect.
Louisville is probably underrated since its not that big of a metro area, yet there is a lot going on in town, when it comes to a foodie scene, arts/galleries, maybe the music scene (not too sure about that). Yeah, sure, every place of any size has all this. But that its happening to the degree that it is in a smaller, relatively "weak-market" metro area is what's unexepcted. The place also has some nice urban parks and older neighborhoods with quality architecture (depending on the neighborhood) and those somewhat unique 'courts', pedestrian streets.
For the others on the list, can't say, havn't been.
Location: I live in the Seattle neighborhood of Belltown. I live in a nice building called Mosler Lofts.
