Do you still really consider Maryland to be southern? This isn't the era of having 13 colonies.

Miami
Not at all representative of the south.

Austin
San Antonio
Just because cities are big Texas cities does not make them representative of the south.
quote:
Kansas City, MO
Missouri is borderline southern

Louisville
lol, no.

Orlando
Again, doesn't really represent the south.

Atlanta, easily
Tennessee shouldn’t be in the conversation, so Nashville is out.

Then you go on to name Nashville?
Nashville seems to have more of a southern vibe than Atlanta.

Memphis is about as Southern of a city as you can get. Not necessarily a great trait, but it is true. It has that old, dirty, riverboat Southern town feel to it.

Austin
San Antonio
Miami
Orlando
Kansas City, MO
Louisville
Baltimore
One of those places.

So Atlanta?
Way too many Northern and Western migrants to be considered a culturally Southern City
This is the dumbest thing Ive read on here so far. The south is a geographical region in this discussion. If we are judging by culcha it's definitely New Orleans and Atlanta
ETA: I retract my statement calling this the dumbest thing Ive read all day. The other reply listing Baltimore as a southern city takes the cake.

I have. It reminded me of New Orleans. Not as fun. Probably safer though

You included Austin and San Antonio, but not Dallas or Houston. This makes zero sense. You included a city in MARYLAND?! Missouri is the midwest. You have no mention of Atlanta which swamps any of the few legit southern cities you mentioned.
TLDR: Your opinion is invalid.

Atlanta.
If not Atlanta then New Orleans.

Where is the SEC headquartered? I'm going with that option
Posted on 2/26/19 at 11:56 am to weagle99
I hate to say this, but Atlanta. It is centrally located and the largest Metro in what we call the South.
Posted on 2/26/19 at 11:57 am to weagle99
Atlanta

Atlanta isn't the "most southern" city in the South but it's the biggest, most important city in the region by a fair margin. It's also near the top in almost every other category (historic significance, nationwide influence, sports, music, cuisine, etc.). You can reasonably argue is the only truly major city in the "true south" (not Miami, Texas cities, etc.).
Charlotte says hi.

Charlotte can’t hold a flame to Atlanta boss.
Posted on 2/26/19 at 12:01 pm to MintBerry Crunch
I never said that, boss, but Charlotte is a major city now whether you like it nor not.

Which city should be considered the Capital of the South?
When I see a question posed this way, I approach it from which city best reflects the characteristics known to be "Southern"
Regional borders are defined as the line between two geographical areas where the cultural norms shift/are different.
Why did we draw the culturally defined Northern/Southern border, Mason-Dixon line between MD and PA? Because the two states were culturally different.
One shared the norms that were defined as culturally "Northern" and the other was culturally "Southern"
Why is it "the 2nd dumbest thing you've read all day" that some people use a different metric than you to answer a hypothetical question?
