I protest and damn this thread to hell for leaving America's finest city off of the list. San Diego is the best.

I understand though... There are so many great cities in California and you can't include them all without making the other states feel jealous.

Houstin, St. Louis, Minnieapolis, Pittsburgh, Cleaveland, andNashville can easily be taken off the list. Well, atleast Nashville has claim to the redneck hall of fame but the rest...

Houstin has some cute girls (my almost wife but now ex-girlfriend came from there) but the smog is terrible there. Then there is the near total lack of interesting architecture and the absence of historical buildings. Toss in red tide and the dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico and you have the makings of a loser city.

Nashville was fun and they had nice honky talk bars. that's why I said they might have a case (remember the red neck...er.... I mean country music hal of fame comment). Pittsburgh has no case though. They are an also ran who deserves nothing more then a footnote in a contest like this.

There seems to be two horrible mistakes.

You forgot Memphis, home of the Blues, Elvis (that's important to some!), and great BBQ, among other things. It stands with Atlanta as the greatest of South Eastern cities.

And you, for some inexplicable reason, included Baltimore...

1. Minneapolis
2. Bemidji, Northern MN
3. San Francisco
4. Seattle
5. Philly

The fall color of Bemidji is AWSOME with all the Sugar Maples, Red maples, and Beech Trees in the area; and the pines are HUGE. Bemidji also has a life-size statue of Paul Bunyan and Babe the blue ox. DON'T forget about the snowmobiling in winter (they were invented in Minnesota, afterall).

Having lived in the DC area, I can confirm that Baltimore SUCKS!

It's like the Gary Indiana of the mid-atlantic.

1) Incredibly high murder and violent crime rate
2) Incredibly high level of poverty and drug use
3) Syphilis capital of the U.S.! Woo!
4) Downtown, with the exception Charles Street, is exceedingly ugly. The Inner Harbor is manufactured and doesn't fool anyone into thinking its really some sort of culture
5) Speaking of culture, there is virtually none. The best thing culturally about Baltimore is the proximity of so many colleges and Universities, wherein culture is imported via their student bodies.

Baltimore has a few great institutions: The Peabody Conservatory, Johns Hopkins, and Morgan State in terms of schools, the Baltimore Symphony in terms of culture...hmmm, that's kinda it.

If it weren't for the 16 years of Mayor Schmoke, Baltimore might be a good place. As is, it's a rundown shithole which is in desperate need of cleaning up.

but Syphilis is the STD of royalty - perspective, man!

My Urban Studies teacher was from Gary Indiana, and although I liked him dearly - it now seems to go well with why everyone else in the class coined him "Boring Byron"
