One of the things I've noticed on here is a lot of stats and details get thrown around, but as we all know this is only half the story when it comes to living in a city.

What I haven't seen much of is the second half of that equation - the people.

So if you could explain the vibe and a celebrity that most embodies your typical person from a particular city what would they be?

Here's my list. Feel free to add your own.

Portland
Chicago

Austin
Denver
Boston
Providence

Baltimore
Minneapolis
Philadelphia
Sacramento

Columbus
Pittsburgh
Ann Arbor
Richmond

While, I agree that cities have "vibes" I disagree that I could give " a celebrity that most embodies your typical person" from that city.
It would be easy to say:

Los Angeles, Snoop Dogg
San Francisco, Yoko Ono
Charleston, Paula Dean
Tucson, John Wayne
New York City, John Belushi
West Palm Beach, Maury Povich

But all of those are wrong. Most people in LA are not like Snoop Dogg, or Katy Perry, or Gwen Stefani, or Cher or anyone else. American people can't be classified, stereotyped, put into a box, or reduced to an adjective. We are the most diverse country in the world, and that's why I'm happy to live here.

Where would his career have gone if DNA paternity testing had never been invented?

You simply cannot get more Chicago than John Belushi.
