What are some mid-sized cities/metros that are impressive for their size in your opinion.? Doesn't matter what, could be their economy, how safe they are, density, etc or it could be multiple factors?

Reason: Please read the rules. Skyline discussions are not allowed.
Metro pop is officially around 500k, but will increase to about 600k when a neighboring parish is rightly added.
It's the third largest in the state with absolutely great food, a lax atmosphere, the states second university (University of Louisiana), and the heart of Cajun Country. The nations largest swamp lies within the metro area, The Atchafalaya Basin. It has a nice downtown with many nightlife options, more residential is on the way.
Wilmington, Delaware anchors a metro of over 500,000. It is home to a couple of Fortune 500 companies, a symphony and opera company, a couple of resident theatre companies, a fine art and children's museums, an IMAX, a minor league baseball team, and is a stop on the hourly northeast Amtrak trains running between DC and NYC. It is a major US banking center hosting the headquarters of the credit card operations of Bank of America, Chase Card Services and Barclays Bank. In addition to several Delaware banks, the Dutch banking company ING and UK banking company HBSC chose to place their US headquarters in Wilmington. Further, Delaware's "Chancery Court" is thought to be the most sophisticated court for adjudicating US corporate legal matters, given over 60% of the Fortune 500 companies choose to incorporate in Delaware. Finally, it is only about 45 minutes from Center City Philadelphia when folks want to dip into "big city" offerings.
