quote:Bham (metro) is growing as a great food and entertainment scene. It is definitely a popular place to be. Mobile is an old french, spanish, and creole town that celebrates the arts and Mardi Gras and is different than the rest of the state. No two cities are identical, but Mobile would be closest to New Orleans.
Mobile is not a mini version of NOLA, nor is Birmingham a “vibrant” city. Huntsville, on the other hand, has great potential and will probably end up being the best mid/large-sized city in the Gump state.

Oh man I thought for sure I would be the first one to mention Marfa and Alpine.
That's a good one

Singapore and Johor, Malaysia. Actually everything else around Singapore is vastly different
Hong Kong - Shenzhen
I can’t believe ppl really think St Franciscille and New Roads are that different.
Maybe Natchez and Vidalia

that's a good one.
in a way, I'd say Asheville v. Greenville (60 miles apart and their super-suburbs sort of converge), but they are starting to meet in the young hipster middle culturally too.
Columbia and Charleston maybe? Charleston has its fratastic Costa-wearing semi-seersucker baws, but overall the coastal and old-world feel makes for a pretty big difference v. Columbia.
Athens - Atlanta is another one, or Atlanta v. most any of its burb "cities" (Marietta for e.g.). I guess that doesn't really count.
Atlanta v. Decatur used to be pretty different. I guess it still is. I moved right to the Decatur city line after a couple years in Atlanta, and I always loved passing the sign "Leaving City of Atlanta," on my way home (in unincorporated DeKalb County between the two)

Savannah and Jacksonville
i don't consider those particularly close to one another. 2 hour drive without the inevitable 95 nightmare.
but yes. very different.
Tybee isn't really a city (but does have its own government, post office, city hall, etc)-- it is like a different world v. Savannah.

yep. i lived in Mountain View and worked in Palo Alto. The "EPA" people I met were ROUGH. Having just finished a 3-year stint in New Orleans, I wasn't fazed, but still sketchy as hell.

Eh, it’s closwr than a lot of cities mentioned and that stretch of 95 is actually pretty great. It’s quicker than 2 hours. I’ve driven that route many, many, many times.

Once they finished the lane expansion, that trip became really easy. South Carolina needs to pick up the lane expansion from the GA/SC state line to 26. That's a fricking awful stretch of highway during holiday season.

It was absolutely traumatic.
3 or 4 years ago after Christmas , we had to drive back through South Carolina.
We averaged 10 frickING MPH for 3 hours.
As soon as back in georgia, all the traffic disappeared. Because I-95 is a real highway in Georgia

I use that stretch of 95 every time I drive to Dad's house for Christmas. That stretch of 95 usually determines if the drive takes 11 hours or 13.

Metairie and Nola.
Harry Lee legacy vs Nomo Lee legacy
Morning Call vs Cafe du Monde
Veterans Blvd vs Canal Street
Fat City (RIP) vs French Quarter
Argus vs Rex
Well maybe they are more alike than either is willing to say.
