I interpret "Boutique Cities" as the sort of places where there are few real jobs, it is expensive to live, and people travel there to "Oooh.. ahhh.." at the city's beauty. Usually a place with lots of old, unique homes and buildings, and various business establisments that feed off those tourists.

Perhaps because that is the sort of place I live. I nominate Wilmington, NC as a boutique city. I also would agree with an earlier poster that Charlottesville, VA is a candidate.

But then when Seattle, Baltimore, San Antonion, Boston, San Francisco, New Orleans are added to the list.. I don't know what the hell is being described.

However, if in fact we're talking about small cities that are cozy, artsy, or just basically have that vaguely defined characteristic you know when you see it known as "charm," then I'd add Portland, ME, and Santa Fe to the list. Some maybes would be Annapolis, Portsmouth (NH), Ithaca, Fayetteville (AR), and Charlottesville.

Good choices. Under this definition, I would add Charleston, SC and Burlington, VT.
