re: What was the most Iconic city in America in the 1990s?

Im decided Im going to argue that Austin in the 90's was the start of a cultural phenomenon

Bush was gonna be the next President,, Austin hippies weidness thing .. they figured out how to make money HUGE money in development

Austin is the new Rome

Woolmarket, MS

Los Angeles

I think the 90's were definitely New York. As mentioned before it was a revitalized city and had a 10 year run that was fantastic. Amazing time to be there. Energy on the streets all the time.


I would say Los Angeles had the 70s. Houston was never a cultural point of energy EVER. Oil is all it has ever had going for it as a culture driver.

Houston is the right answer for the 70’s. Plus you had the oilers in late 70’s take the country by storm

Not sure it counts, but Silicon Valley

I would say NYC but using the MVP criteria, I would say Seattle because of the first half of the decade.

I will say this, NY was kickin in the 50’s. Yanks, dodgers, and giants is all that needs to be said.
