What would you consider the prototypical Northeastern, Southeastern, Gulf Coast, Great Lakes, Great Plains, Southwestern, and West Coast cities?
Northeast: NYC (a good argument could also be made for Philly)
Southeast: I'm leaning towards Atlanta, here
Gulf Coast: I've only been to New Orleans, Houston (I think it counts) and Corpus Christi. I suspect that none are good choices
Great Lakes: I'm thinking Cleveland, though I've never visited Detroit.
Great Plains: not a clue
Southwest: very limited experience here. I recuse myself.
West Coast: LA
I would break up the Northeast into two regions, New England and Northeast. The Southeast should probably be two as well, Middle Atlantic and Deep South. The Great Lakes should probably be the Midwest and South Central US. Then The Plains, Rockies, Desert Southwest and Pacific Northwest. Florida and California are stand alones in my opinion.

And this is where it gets tricky.
Technically, you can break the Southeast up into four subregions; Mid-Atlantic, Deep South, Piedmont, and South Florida.
I'll do it two ways, once with the regions as posted, and once broken down more
Northeast: NYC
Southeast: Charlotte
Gulf Coast: Houston I guess (no great choices)
Great Lakes: Cleveland
Great Plains: Omaha (arguably KC if you count it as Great Plains)
Southwest: Tucson
West Coast: SF
-----Second grouping
New England: Providence
Mid-Atlantic: NYC (Philly is a close #2)
Less Deep South: Charlotte
Deep South: Memphis
Great Lakes: Cleveland
Lower Midwest: Cincinnati
Great Plains: Omaha
Southwest: Tucson
Cali (not counting rest of West Coast): LA
West Coast (counting whole thing): SF
Northeast: NYC(I almost selected philly but I feel like NYC would be better due to the vast range of diff housing styles in New York(High rise, mid rise, row homes, sfh, victorian ect))
New England: Boston (First city that comes to mind when I hear New England)
Mid - Atlantic: Baltimore (When I think of Mid Atlantic I think of Row Homes, Colonial Architecture and Crabs)
Appalachia: Charleston, WV
Southeast: Atlanta/Charlotte
Upper South: Louisville/Richmond (areas that are the beginning of the south/ ending of the North)
Deep South: Memphis
Great Lakes: Detroit
Great Plains: I'm not sure
South West: Albuquerque
West Coast: LA
Pacific NW: Seattle
