They might be more vibrant than another town of similar size but wouldn't be confused with the terms
"urban, vibrant or with a cool factor" which was your original criteria. If they were we wouldn't have to go looking for them, word tends to get out.
Totally get what you are saying.
I am not looking for completely unknown areas, just lesser known, ones I might not have heard of. Most people think cities can't have ANY urbanity or vibrancy if they are under 500k population and would say NONE of these cities fit my description, lol.
And these cities DON'T in comparison to bigger well known cities... but La Crosse, WI is more urban and vibrant than Dodge City, KS. That is kinda what I am attempting (maybe poorly) to stab at.
Ashville does fit the description quite well, it has a huge metro area for its size too. I think that is from being so close Greenville, Charlotte, Knoxville, etc... If it were more isolated it would be, by far, the king of this conversation.
This thread is really so I can find out about cities I didn't know of, under the radar types. Although I do think Ashville is a wonderful city, it is pretty far from low-key these days.
Oh please....
Asheville is NOT a suburb of any of those cities and is completely independent.
At 62.3 miles of mountainous driving, Greenville is the closest next city. Both Knoxville and Charlotte are well over 100 miles away.
Are we just going to keep hearing new criteria until you hear the name of the city that this thread is intended to yield? That's what it's beginning to sound like to me.
