I would definitely have to say an Ohio city. Not Columbus either. I cant just pick one, so I will say St Louis, and Cleveland/ Cincinnati. Those three cities carried more than their weight, and I think they are probably the most deserving out of most cities in the country. Ohioans can fix Detroit, if we had a powerhouse city to feed off of. We could fix Pittsburgh too. We know grit, grime, and if we have the resources we can fix ANYTHING. Detroit wouldn't be a terrible task, it would be a creative outlet. Ohioans could have made Ford a hundred thousand times better than it is too. Should have let us help out with Ford a long time ago. It would have been innovative and it would be THE car company in the States. Plus it would have branched out in to mass transit, and experimental transit. Carving out a badly needed area of the market, where transit is almost nonexistent, but very practical.
I'll argue Philly. They find too many bodies buried underneath houses when they're building things there. Seems the city has a very violent history. If there isn't a collective form of communication that can reach people on a real level, and help stop some of the ridiculous amounts of organized and unorganized crime, then the city doesn't deserve extra benefits. Most of the time its the opposite, there is a collective gang mentality. It certainly has the smarts, but it isn't trustworthy if you ask me. That's my thought.

I do love Buffalo though. Great pick.
thanks . yea I would love to see that whole are Buffalo-Rochester-Syracuse reach it's full potential, I just hope it dosen't become one big megalopolis
Yea I just noticed this recently. The Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse areas are all in a horizontal line from one another. They look fairly close on a map. From my standpoint that looks prime for new opportunity. Is the area mountainous too? Ive really never understood why New Yorkers think so little of upstate. Its a gorgeous pace with four season and mountains. Great soft natural grass, and nice lakes and camping. They need to take some money from the monopoly center NYC and hook upstate up nicely. There is a lot of quality in their smaller cities and people up there too. Then they need to help their wildlife thrive in upstate. Ive considered moving there a few times. And a lot of people don't actually mind the cold enough to be everlastingly bitter about winter. Seasons change.
The thing I am wondering about some of these rustbelt or Northeast cities is that, didn't they kind of reach their potential back in the 1950's and 1960's then decline from there on? Some of those places seemed like they were great back before they started losing people and jobs. I don't really know b/c I wasn't around back then. It just seems some of these cities had their moment and reached their potential but then declined.
Buffalo? its to fuggin cold to reach any potential
that's funny.....considering Quebec and Montreal and Toronto all reached their potential, and they are all colder than Buffalo, same can be said about Minnepolis....
