What? I would put both of these among the highest that would feel like America in the country.


You should do some more traveling.

Miami and it's not even close. Los Angeles is filled with gringos. Miami is Latin America.


In my experience, This.

Yeah, but I've had better luck doggie-styling CA sorostitute snow bunnies while snorting lines off the back of their neck in Vail than I have in Switzerland. Definitely more of an American feel.

San Francisco.

The architecture, the people, the politics, the neighborhoods - It's so much of a beachy, Pacific, and Asian culture that I felt like I had entered another country when I went.

he correct answer is Dearborn, MI. Or maybe Hamtramck, MI, where the city government broadcasts the Islamic call to prayer five times per day. I doubt there's any other city in the western hemisphere that does this.



Is this for real? How is that even legal, where are the anti Christian fricks all up in arms over this.

Another reason why that whole area needs to be bull dozed and giving back to nature.

Because that would be racist, bigoted and discrimination.

Downtown Los Angeles looked a lot like Cozumel Mexico to me. Same shops and signage.

The only answer is Miami.

LOL @ people who say New Orleans. I rarely hear anyone speak anything other than English in NO, and most of the people there are born and raised in America. I mean, there's a large influx of Mexicans after Katrina, but still..

Oklahoma doesn't seem to be very American because of all the Indian heritage and such. Sure, they may be called "Natives," but they all came over from Mongolia via the Bering Strait during the last ice age, so that place has a very Mongolian feel to it.
