If you could give up one city in your state and pick up a city in an adjacent state

What would it be? Let’s try and keep it so it somewhat works geographically. For example, Austin would be a bit of a stretch for Louisiana. As a Louisiana resident, I’d gladly give New Orleans to Mississippi and take Houston from Texas. Houston doesn’t offer anything aesthetically or from a tourist standpoint, but would be a good addition due to the corporate headquarters located there.

And yes I am bored, but this question beats posting a question about potential new SEC teams for the millionth time on secrant.

Edit - let’s also say cities need to be of equal importance. Monroe for Houston wouldn’t qualify.

I'd give up monroe for Houston.

Makes way more sense than giving up NOLA.

You could trade Nola and Houston and those companies would be located in New Orleans, Texas within a year.

Ferriday would blend right into the Delta.

Why wouldn't it? Monroe is home to the only Fortune 500 company in Louisiana.

Trading the two corporate centers of each state.

Yep, decided to make a spin off thread. I’ve lived in north Louisiana, but now live in Baton Rouge. I have plenty of Louisiana culture here and don’t see the appeal of the cesspool called New Orleans. Giving away Shreveport would be my second choice.

Montgomery for Tallahassee (which I’ve never been to, assume is a shithole, and will trade sight unseen for Montgomery).

I'd give up Memphis.

Nothing needed in return.

If you could pick a list of the dumbest questions ever posed by a post would this make the list?

And I would give up Lake Providence and take Lahaina.
