In your opinion, what best represent your city or town? (You don't need to limit it to man made structures)
For me (Chicago) it would be the Sears Tower and the Water Tower on Michigan Avenue (it is one of the only surviving structures of the Great Chicago Fire)
For the town I live in, it would be this building....
for san diego, i would say its current 70 degree temperature under sunny/clear skies with its gentle off shore breeze and low humidity... yeah, that represents san diego pretty well if you ask me! don't hate!

I think palm trees and the beach fits San Diego more, but thats just my opinion.

i think you're right. but people might think of miami or LA or honolulu too. isn't san diego most known for its supposed perfect weather? or its overpriced zoo? june gloom (overcast) is coming
And, of course, University of Tennessee sports. Here's a picture of downtown Knoxville dominated by Thompson-Boling Arena (24,000 seats) and Neyland Stadium (104,000).

Yeah, sorta. For me, when I picture Miami, I see bright blue art-deco buildings, palm trees and a Cuban walking around with a Cuban stogie in his mouth. LA? Smog and movie stars (hey, just stating what first comes to mind). Honolulu? Volcanoes and hula-girls.
I didn't respond to this at first b/c I really couldn't think of what represents San Diego uniquely. The first thing that came to my mind was a sunny beach with palm trees, but that could be other cities as well. I don't think there is anything architecturally in SD that would make it stand out, maybe the Hotel Del Coronado since it's on the beach with palm trees and is a really nice looking building, although it's not in the city of SD.
Or a Panda I guess......Shamu maybe but SA and Orlando have that too. (also if you think the Zoo is overpriced go to SeaWorld, even the free beer doesn't make that place reasonable)
The weather is probably something that represents the city well but not sure how you show sunny and 70 b/c on a photo it looks no different than sunny and 90.
So I guess I'll go with the Hotel Del to represent San Diego since it has the beach, palm trees, a nice beach hotel, and the weather looks good in this shot:
sav, yes, i too have a hard time placing san diego into its own unique category. i have to admit that i immediately thought of hotel del coronado too. it's close enough to the city that i consider it a part of the city as well.
i mentioned the sd zoo as being overpriced because ive been to some pretty amazing zoos around the usa that are free. i was just at the st. louis zoo last week and was blown away. san diego is an overpriced but admittingly a stunningly beautiful tourist trap. i could never leave this place, but like i said, definitely expensive. i wish our awesome city had an image like so many of america's other great cities currently have! hey sav, wanna help me build the worlds tallest sand castle in mission beach and pour a permanent cohesive lamenation over it?
It's hard to come up with the one thing that best represents Atlanta, besides a low cost of living or healthy job market, which are the main reasons why a lot of people are moving there. I wanted to think of something more original and unique that Atlanta could brag about. It could be the Southern culture and charm, and the outward politeness of the people. It also has architectural beauty with all the post-modern skycrapers and a variety of different neighborhoods which are each like their own cities or towns. Also, how the city is surrounded by trees and forests may be also be one of the best things about ATL.
Since I live just outside of Tokyo now, I like to to think of it as my city also. The thing that best represents Tokyo is the energy and vibe that the city puts out, and the variety of smaller cities within the metropolis and the post-modern architecture. I also like all the neon lights, big screen TV's, and loud speakers everywhere, and the advanced technology.
