Many cities that have received that award seem like they are "homogenous and overrun by crime and illegals" too. I mean New Haven.....? I think the award is geared towards cities that are trying hard, so many of them are still struggling. But I thought it was weird you would cite that link when trying to represent mid-sized safe cities.

Look, does it matter? It's my opinion. THey are geographically central and are Northern cities with a Southern tint to them. That's why I picked them. I'd also I guess pick Kansas City, ST. Louis, and even Louisville (which is a southern city with a Northern tint).

Columbus, Ohio. It's a big test market for new products, and with good reason.

So are Knoxville, Nashville, Kansas City, and Salt Lake City. And I'm sure there are others.

Ohh: "Will it play in Peoria?"

I think you need two cities, one large city to show America's power and a small town to show it's values.

I have to say that hot dogs and Chicago go together better.
