Cities which don't fit in with the states they are located in (dangerous, wealthy)

Prescott Valley, AZ



Grand Junction, CO



Flagstaff, AZ



Durango, CO

Gorgeous. Just love the southwest.

I just read that comment somewhere. Oh, it was before the Pitt- Penn State game this past weekend. I read an article about there rivalry and one of the people interviewed for it - a former Pitt player, said the same thing.

No. That's definitely true. Well mostly true. It's Kentucky, not Alabama.

Good thread. I'd say Atlanta, NYC, Chicago

NOVA is nothing like the rest of VA

[OptimusPrime69]

Miami is nothing like the rest of FL.

I feel like every state has a city or area that's unlike the rest of the state.

El Paso, Texas should be in New Mexico.

Chicago, nothing like the rest of Illinois.

NYC, nothing like the rest of New York State.

Although conventional wisdom will say Austin, it just feels more "Texan" than Dallas IMO. There is definitely a degree of generic American culture in Dallas, but even the unique areas don't feel very Texan. The music history of Deep Ellum is not your stereotypical Texas country music. It was a blues neighborhood, which is what most people wouldn't associate with Texas IMO.

I never think of NYC as part of the State of New York. NYC is more a global/world city than belonging to any state. This of course from an individual that just "lives" in Manhattan about 2 weeks a year. Maybe the outer boroughs are different? But in Manhattan I hear other languages spoken as much or more than English. Love the food!

Chicago to Illinois
NYC to NY State
Cleveland to Ohio
Atlanta to Georgia
New Orleans to Louisiana
St. Louis to Missouri
Milwaukee to Wisconsin

And for those who know what it is, Rapid City to South Dakota.
