What is the easternmost western city? The westernmost eastern city?

[Tom Lennox 70]

I think Kansas City is still more of an eastern than a western city. Once you get to Denver and Colorado Springs it clearly feels western.

Further south, I'd say Fort Worth is a western city while Dallas is an eastern city.

Western =
concrete streets, low density public housing, wood housing stock, less high rise warehouses, modern downtown, concrete curbs, less dense city proper, able to expand city boundries to this day, boomed after WWII.

Of course, not all eastern or western cites adhere to each of these criteria.

I agree with some of this...
Tulsa seems somewhat western and OKC a bit more.
Kansas City has some western aspects but not recently.
St. Louis is certainly eastern.
Omaha seems more eastern than western.
Minneapolis? Can't judge.


So maybe Tulsa is the easternmost western city and Omaha is the westernmost eastern city. Both are essentially Midwestern and are almost on the same longitude (-95.9 E).
