Most abrupt change between suburban and urban environment (hotel, restaurant)

Atlanta does this perfectly.

I adore this about Atlanta. A unique characteristic--and so damn beautiful.

I don't know if it is still like that because it's been a few years since I have been to Las Vegas but on and off the strip was very striking.

People are mentioning ATL but the change in ATL is not unlike other Sunbelt cities. Vegas however felt like rapid change over a few blocks.

I can't believe anyone has not mentioned the line between Detroit and Grosse Pointe. That is one of the most stark and shocking divides I have ever seen between urban and suburban, poor and affluent. All in one block.

Yes. Very true.

The parts of Detroit next to the Grosse Pointes are only urban if you use the Michigander euphamism where urban just means poor, run-down, and black. In physical form that part of Detroit is suburban SFH. That area of Detroit had somewhat smaller lots and homes than the adjacent Grosse Pointes, but otherwise wasn't that diffetent in form or density. That part of Detroit is very car dependent. Now large swathes are empty lots reverting to an almost rural feel on the Detroit side. Grosse Pointe is the more urban now as far as density goes, since many blocks on the Detroit side only have a couple of houses left.

Spin around 360 degrees in that spot. Dense/urban looking towards Boston with an abrupt transition to single family homes. in the other direction.

Lots of streets in Brookline fit the bill, especially off Beacon.

78-STORY TOWER GETS FINAL APPROVAL TO REPLACE BRICKELL BURGER KING

Miami’s Planning & Zoning Department has granted final approval for the proposed 18 tower in Brickell.
If built, the 960 foot tall / 78-story tower would have 392 residential units along with retail space, replacing a strip mall that includes Burger King across from Brickell City Centre.

That's kinda sad. I mean, it may just be a Burger King, but BK is a Miami staple and idk how old that one is but I have a feeling its been there for quite some time.
