Boise. People want to move to the Northwest without the prices of Portland and Seattle.
Kansas City is also already a good size, but another one that is growing fast especially is tech

It is one thing to have a sustainable population and economy without experiencing crazy population growth.
The rust belt cities had unsustainable economies that led to significant loss in population.
At the time, the manufacturing jobs in the Rust Belt were considered to be some of the most sustainable jobs of all time. Then innovation happened. Hindsight 20/20 thing.

It will be a conservative state will business friendly taxes and good schools, so that leaves out Louisiana.

Chattanooga have both seen lots of growth in the last 5 years.
Again, not necessarily true. We have gained ~5.5% since 2010. Booming cities are gaining that yearly.
Like pecker said Chattanooga is geographically limited. There has been a bit of urban revival going on that is making the city nicer, but the population isn't booming. There isn't the economic climate to support it.

Downtown Pensacola has come a long way the past 10-15 years

I'm not sure how to qualify "small city" (or "boom" for that matter--Austin's growth is just insane--and insanely annoying imo--there are many levels of boom), but areas that I not that long ago considered very small that are blowing up are (maybe this is off-topic, as they will never be Austins or Nashvilles, but most everything else named just seemed kind of obvious):
Bozeman, MT current MSA around 200K. Tech, tourism, and lots of people escaping CA and Seattle. (just don't come to Missoula, please--another similar town that is doing well)
Augusta, Ga - another 200K MSA that is getting some huge gov contracts, business, medical community, and is nicely situated between columbia and atlanta.
Coeur d'Alene, ID (it sort of melds with Spokane, but is far enough away to be distinct--it's also in a different state)--it's a lot smaller than the previous two, but is growing into a bigger-town feel.
a lot of towns people have mentioned in this thread are already well on their way to being not-so-small any more. For example: Greenville, Asheville, Charleston, Knoxville, and RDCH Triangle are either around a million MSA or rapidly approaching it (Raleigh-Durham is already 2X that). For ref, Nashville MSA is under 2 mill and Austin is right at it.

Boise
that's a good call. In the mtn west, all the "boomtown" projections are compared to SLC. I've heard Boise named the "next SLC." I much prefer Boise.

I'm sure no one will agree but, Birmingham.
I’d like to agree but Birmingham needs a large industry to invest in the city. It’s on a really good track revitalizing the downtown area but there hasn’t been a true economic boom in job growth. Part of the issue is that politicians - both urban and suburban - don’t like the idea of expanding infrastructure that plans for the long term.

too black
To identify these cities, you gotta find the ones that are extremely white. Liberals love to talk about diversity but don't like to live in it.

Des Moines and Omaha have shite weather. Gets in the 90s in the summer and then they get brutal winters.

Huntsville is on track to pass Birmingham within a decade in population for many reasons.

you'd better go update wiki.

Knoxville is the principal city of the Knoxville Metropolitan Statistical Area, which, in 2016, was 868,546, up 0.9 percent, or 7,377 people, from to 2015. The KMSA is, in turn, the central component of the Knoxville-Sevierville-La Follette Combined Statistical Area, which, in 2013, had a population of 1,096,961.

Greenville is the largest city in the Greenville-Anderson-Mauldin Metropolitan Statistical Area. The MSA had a population of 895,923 in 2017, making it the largest in South Carolina and the third largest in The Carolinas.

Charleston is part of the Charleston-North Charleston-Summerville Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), which comprises Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester counties. The Charleston MSA has a population estimated at 713,000, which makes it the 76th largest MSA in the country.
Asheville is the only one of these with a significantly smaller MSA, but this was 2010--it is limited by mountains, but when you consider Hendersonville, Flat Rock, and Travelers Rest, you're knocking on Greenville's door for a major combined MSA

The city's population was 89,121 according to the 2016 estimates. It is the principal city in the four-county Asheville metropolitan area, with a population of 424,858 in 2010.

Yeah, Charlotte already borders on Atlanta traffic at times. It's gotten crazy and housing prices are out of control there.
