etalian posted:lmao according to rich dad magazine Forbes: Holy gently caress. Like, if they were just staying with money and they were like "these are the best places to move because no taxes" then yes, they might have a point. But as "cool" cities...this last makes no sense. Uncool people are a lot like ghosts though, they never though they are uncool. It is kind of a tragedy.

Every Forbes list is basically "which city's chamber of commerce gives the best blowjobs"?

I lolled at how Houston was number 1 even though it's basically a hideous must have a car sprawl that's close to piles of pollution producing energy refining sites. Orange County/Colorado Springs own in that they serve as the spock's beard places to LA/Denver. etalian fucked around with this message at 01:06 on Oct 20, 2014 |

That list is pretty much "best cities to live in when you're rich as gently caress" anyway.

New york is like a river, you can just jump in and it'll take you somewhere exciting. Los angeles is like a big lake, you can sit there and relax and maybe it'll suck, but if you put in some effort and paddle around you can find rad hidden places.

I agree with everything said about boston in this thread. It's neither cool nor uncool, very academic and knowledgey, but also quaint, elitist, and a little racist. I would add provincial and a bit conservative compared to the wild west (remnants of frontier culture). And it's my home

And it's my home I went from New York to Boston, and after five days in New York, I was kind of used to things being really fast-paced and no-nonsense. When I came to the bus counter (to get a bus ticket to Maine), the two guys behind it were just chatting, and didn't notice me for, 15, 20 seconds. After NYC, that was a bit annoying. One thing I realized about NYC is that the people there aren't rude...they just show politeness by being really prompt. People in Portland or other parts of the west show politeness by being personal. In Boston, people were neither prompt nor personal.

Hey guys, I spent less than a day in a bunch of cities and am now fully qualified to rate their coolness. OP is the most touristy tourist. Probably spent his time in NYC dicking around Times Square and looking for Famous Ray's

San Diego has over 100 microbreweries and top notch burritos. I'm not sure where I would rate it after living here for a year.

Actually cliquish (edit : an even better word is insular) describes more bostonians than elitist to amend to what I said. It's true people don't feel obligated to be all buddy buddy or to wait on you. If you want something you have to speak up I guess. Its an as little eye contact as possible in public type place. I miss that whenever im out west, out there it feels like even the bus driver has to be my friend. Ive been here too long to defend the place too much, thats also the provincialism. If you dont like it, leave, people think. We aren't comparing ourself to any other city, as far as anyone cares they don't exist. NYC is just a place to go for the weekend occasionally. I don't care about the red sox/yankees thing but that's another story. Ok I just wanted to clarify, carry on the worst thing is fucked around with this message at 03:17 on Oct 20, 2014 |

Philadelphia should be at the top of the list. It's the only American city that has the Liberty Bell. It also has the best sitcoms like Fresh Prince, and It's Always Sunny. Yeah, NYC is really large, but so are certain kinds of tumors. I think when people look back on the United States in a thousand years, they will realize that Philadelphia was really the best city around.

I've noticed that Philadelphia seems really dirty and trashy, but is surprisingly erudite, cultured, and respectful; while Boston seems really erudite, cultured, and respectful, but is really just dirty and trashy.

LA is pretty trashy. I found it worse than NYC (garbage on the sidewalk aside). LA is weird in general, I hated it the first time I went there. I was there in June this year as a stopover before Brazil and I had a much better time this time around, but it still doesn't grab me as a city. Went to the outlets/venice/santa monica/hollywood and drank a shitload of booze, I heard the museum is pretty kick rear end with the shuttle they got there and I'm sure there's plenty of other things to do - what should I be doing next time?

glowing-fish posted:Over the past month, I took a 30 day, 38-state tour of the US, visiting every region of the country and seeing most of America's big cities. During this trip, I learned a lot of things about America: mostly some areas of America are way more cool than others. From this, I decided to look at a tier system for America's city, coolness wise. There is a top tier of cities that are really cool and people who live in them become cool, just by osmosis. Then there are a host of cities that are not that cool, but that might have some cool parts, and that a cool person will actually remain cool in. Then there are a few benighted American cities that are just totally uncool and sap coolness out of people who visit them.

So Miami is like a New Orleans for uncool people, that becomes so spectacularly tacky that it has some kitsch value? That would almost be cool, if only it WASN'T IN FLORIDA.

also austin was a sleepy college town / one-time confederate state capital like baton rouge or columbia that happened to blow up real big. which explains the identity crisis the city is eternally trapped in. it's a cool city. all the cities are cool!
