People should really check out KC. Great beer, great food, a (now) booming night life, low CoL, the best art/music scene in the Midwest (since everyone from Omaha finally just moved to KC) and lots of young people moving here for work.

Inside KC proper, Missouri. Outside of the city, in the metro/suburban area the Kansas side is better

How can you hate Chicago or Milwaukee

good people there, basically unobjectionable

I mean you're not gonna fall in love or anything but... they're nice




LA is the biggest urban sprawl I've ever seen

feels like I kept driving by the same poo poo for an hour, it's like one of those lovely sandbox video games where they re-use model assets and you can't tell where you are

Like I assume there's cool stuff there but it's just a loving huge city

good cities in the south:

new orleans: owns bones. tons of culture. rips you off with a smile. impossible to be sober here
atlanta: so sprawling it's easy to ignore the parts of town where assholes hang out. trees everywhere
charlotte: i guess? baby atlanta. less traffic
tampa: small enough, most tolerable city in florida

ok cities in the south:

memphis: good food and music but super poor and depressing
nashville: kind of cool, still in tennessee
knoxville: nashville in the mountains. old hippies go here to die
houston: atlanta in a swamp
dallas: atlanta with zero charm
austin: not really the south
richmond: meh. salt lake city east of the mississippi river
charleston: very pretty, but probably sucks if you're not a wealthy white person
louisville: too old money. too close to indiana

bad cities in the south:

anywhere in the following states otherwise not mentioned: arkansas, alabama, florida, georgia, kentucky, mississippi, north carolina, south carolina, tennessee, virginia, west virginia
st. louis: awful, record breaking levels of racism, nothing to do
orlando: the rear end in a top hat of america
miami: overrated, plus not really the south

The funny thing is you only get really good smog viewing on clear days. There's often a lot of marine layer that comes in but when it's really clear you can see the NO2 bubble over the city. That only goes away after a good winter rain like twice a year.

I imagine that Nashville is the type of place where there is a lot of stuff to see in the music scene, but beyond that, it is kind of a mix of Midwestern and Southern boring. Basically a tourist town that once you are out of tourist stuff, there isn't much going on?

Yeah basically it's a big tourist trap but at least in the last decade became a bit more interesting due to big infusion of people from other states. Plus it doesn't have things that make city bearable like good mass transit and has lots of traffic problems.

It's also a strong blue area in the South.

My serious reason for not dismissing Atlanta into the bad list was that Atlanta is probably the center of African-American culture in the south, and it would be a bit problematic of me to dismiss it out of hand.
