That's more than enough of New Orleans, IMHO. Memphis and Jackson are trying to compete with New Orleans for Worst City in the South(tm) honors.

Beautiful city*, but I would recommend Medellin if you were to visit Colombia.
A) For the purposes of this thread, Cartagena has some parallel similarities to NOLA. Medellin has no NOLA-ish feel to it. From a historical and cultural perspective, if you had to visit one place or the other, Cartagena is a 10/10, Medellin is not. Plus the inventory of women in Cartagena is to lose a career over.
B) The best three correct answers to the OP are, in alphabetical order-
Charleston SC
Mobile
Savannah
Key West was close to being on the shortlist but is at best a cousin more than a sibling.

I see people discussing politics, crime, etc. I took the OP's question is which cities are like NO in terms of what gives me the feeling of being in the Old South and strategic economies in the early ages of our country. And to me you're spot on here.
Charleston - Old South, was a top economic powerhouse in the 17-1800's much like NO, port economy
Mobile - Old South, heavily French influenced, was the capital of French Louisiana, similar architecture, port economy
Savannah - Old South, port economy

Spot on. Been to both multiple times. And both are cleaner! A lot cleaner!
Charleston is for sure. Savannah's riverwalk and downtown area are definitely cleaner, but you dont want to stray too far out of that area really.
i love both towns.
