I can see that but people there would argue their identity is rooted in agriculture. “Breadbasket of the World”

Tons of cities like that though. I'd have a hard time describing someone from Fresno.

Biloxi is a few steps above Shreveport. Perhaps even a different dimension.

Fresno is literally the largest city in the country not to be served by the US Interstate system.

Drive through there and you wouldn't know the difference. You'd seriously have to be told that 99 wasn't an interstate because it looks and operates exactly like one. Never driven the I-5 south of Tracy (at least until LA), and I guarantee that the 99 gets more traffic than the I-5 in that general area.

1. Houston Texas
Houston is literally the energy capital of the world and is home to the world's largest and most prestigious medical center. It's also one of the top food scenes in the country.
While Houston most certainly is not an amazing place to visit, it is a great place to live. It is not dull by any means and is one of the most diverse cities in America.

Agreed.

I would seriously dispute these two. They are two of the more low-key distinct cities culturally in the country.

Maybe. The entire South Bay would be one giant soulless suburb other than being the center of Silicon Valley. I can never get over seeing what would be $500K houses in other places on the market for like $4M in those towns along with the traffic, strip malls, etc.
But it is the beating heart of the greatest center of innovation and economic growth in the entire world, so it definitely has a strong identity. Can't take that away from them.

Eh, for mid- or small-sized Western cities Fresno has a decently strong identity behind it. It's the de facto capital of the Central Valley, strong agricultural roots, etc.
If we want to talk soulless landscapes in California, that list begins and ends with the Riverside/San Bernardino (Inland Empire) area. It's like a 4 million person metro all on its own and is just one giant arse sprawling suburb.

Fresno isn’t good but there are definitely worse. Bakersfield and Stockton are dogshit.
I drove through Fresno and Bakersfield a couple years back. I started a thread on here asking why those cities have as many residents as they do. I read up a bit on them, and it just seems like they don’t have a reason for being that populous.

The Alamo is a nearly 200 year old mission in the heart of downtown of one of nation’s largest cities. It was the site of one of the most pivotal battles in Texas Independence. I mean...Gettysburg may not be an impressive sight either.
The Riverwalk is what you make it. Some nice dining near a man made tributary below street level. Think of it as the French Quarter with less debauchery...and you probably won’t get mugged.
The city has a pretty strong military presence. It has some of the best TexMex/Mexican food you’ll ever eat. But you won’t find that near the Riverwalk.

Think that's where the deepest water port on the San Joaquin River is.
