Has never been to Atlanta obviously. Great, beautiful city. Great food town, also.

Not sure why this keeps getting mentioned. It has a very distinct identity.

I'd argue that Atlanta is more bland than Houston.

Shreveport is the #1 city in America for syphilis. Just wanted to throw that fact out there

San Antonio is the city that always sleeps.

That's my hometown, so yes I'm a little partial. Great people in Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh is one of my favorite US cities, and I say that as the son of a man from Cleveland that hates everything Pittsburgh.

It’s way too big now and way too spread out. I liked it better when Marietta was the suburbs. Now it’s all the way to pretty much Chattanooga.
Now this is a true statement. It definitely stretches to pretty much the Bama line to the west and halfway to Macon and to the base of the Smokies and Blue Ridge in the north and NE.
It also is pushing 7MIL in population now.

I have a hard time picking because I haven't spent a lot of time in other cities lately. Everywhere I have been has something going for it, especially 1 mil+ metros.
That being said I don't like DFW as much as when I moved here. They keep building the same suburb with the same strip centers over and over. Dallas itself is too packed with people I don't like. I hardly go there. It seems soulless
Where I live is nice but it is interchangeable.

Speaking of, Hotel Emma at the old Pearl Brewery might be my favorite building in the state.

Not sure how Denver and Nashville made your list. Try harder.
Posted on 12/15/20 at 4:32 pm to 3deadtrolls
Would not put Denver, but agree with OP on Nashville.
Also surprised at the lack of attention Birmingham is getting. Montgomery is just a run down place...but Birmingham is really dull.

List is shite... Omaha and KC have a lot going for them and have very clear identities.
Tulsa and Indy are certainly not bottom 5, and Cleveland at least has an identity of being a cursed sports city

nearly half a million people have taken a Sporcle quiz that asks them to name the 100 most populous U.S. cities. Sporcle is a leading provider of brain teasers for procrastinators: Name the 50 states in 10 minutes (a quiz taken more than 15 million times) or the 47 countries of Europe in eight minutes (taken nearly 11 million times).

More than 99 percent of quiz takers name New York as one of the 100 most populous cities, more than any other city. About 90 percent name San Francisco and San Diego. But just two out of three remember San Jose before the allotted 12 minutes is up. That makes it the least named city of any of the 10 most populous ones.1 And people are more likely to remember much smaller cities, such as Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Cincinnati. “I always miss San Jose in these quizzes!” one commenter lamented.

No way they know the way there either

Massive city but no one knows anything about it other that O&G.
Admittedly, we have a terrible case of suburban sprawl. But no identity? Though only used with stupid references,for the most part, "Houston, we have a problem." is still iconic and symbolic of the cities space/nasa identity. Also the largest medical center and some of the best facilities in the world for treatment and research. But that may not appeal and be easily recognizable to many outside the industry. Until you end up with cancer. Then you'll be here.

Memphis style bbq, elvis, the blues, beale street, the pyramid, mud island, st. Jude, etc. That’s a lot more identity than most cities, let alone most cities its size.
It may be run down, dangerous, and poor, but it has a clear sense of identity. When people hear “Memphis” there’s a clear picture in their minds. The same isn’t true for when someone says “Houston”, “Cleveland”, or Sacramento.
