Greatest American city

[JVS]

If you don't like the options, fuck you!

[DODI]

1. You left Hartford off.

[JVS]

2. Just didn't make the cut

[rucky]

29. And the entire Western US for that matter.

From whose ass were these nominees pulled?

[fameless]

64. I was going to make that joke.

[benddem]

3. What about Chicago

What about Portland OR...Lousy list

[JVS]

4. See the initial post

[Sequoia]

5. All those cities are boring

boring, bo, oh oring...zzzzz.

But San Francisco, Los Angeles, and yep Boston will do just fine.

[JVS]

6. What could be boring about Wilmington Delaware?

or Detroit?

[LynneSin]

9. Thank you

:loveya:

You just wanted to impress me didn't you??

:loveya:

LynneSin
Proud Citizen of Wilmington, Delaware!!

[JVS]

11. With your presence, even a rest stop on the turnpike would not lack beauty

[POed_Ex_Repub]

58. Wilmington Rulz

And I'm not just saying that because I live ten minutes away.. :D

[LynneSin]

63. Other Delawarean here

I'm sure we've met

[POed_Ex_Repub]

66. In a state this small.. we probably have... lol

:toast:

[Chovexani]

7. Cleveland is on this list?!

It has a Hellmouth ya know.

[JVS]

8. What's a Hellmouth?

All I know is that Cleveland is home of the famous steamers

[Chovexani]

15. I was just being nerdy.

On Buffy the Vampire Slayer, a Hellmouth is like a vortex of evil. Sunnydale (where the show took place) sat on top of one and that's why it had so many vampires, demon, creepy crawlies, etc. There was a running joke on the show that Cleveland was on top of a Hellmouth too. :p

[NightTrain]

10. Where the fuck is New York?

Greatest city on the whole damned planet, baby!!!

[Chovexani]

16. Exactly!

I mean, duh. :)

[slutticus]

20. Dude.....East St. Louis is so much better

Don't knock it 'till you've tried it...

[JVS]

21. Yeah

[Trajan]

12. New York, New York .....

New York, New York .....

New York, New York ..... New York, New York ..... New York, New York ..... New York, New York ..... New York, New York ..... New York, New York ..... New York, New York ..... New York, New York ..... New York, New York ..... New York, New York ..... New York, New York ..... New York, New York ..... New York, New York ..... New York, New York ..... New York, New York .....

Catch the wave: New York, New York .....

and oh yeah: Fuck you ...

Chuckles ...

[JVS]

14. Crowded hellhole

[Trajan]

19. The Word 'City' means 'crowded' ....

New York is full of life, a vital pulse rumbles beneath it's skyscrapers, it is the very heart of the world ....

I dont care WHAT blight exists there: it is the center of the universe .....

It is THE City ....

[JVS]

43. That vital pulse is just gas

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

30. Its a hell of a town - The Bronx is up and the Battery's down

The people ride through a hole in the ground

NEW YORK NEW YORK

IT'S A HELL OF A TOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WoodrowFan]

13. no Washington DC

center of the universe. OK, so the city government is corrupt and incompetent, but hey, WE HAVE THE SMITHSONIAN!

[Bertha Venation]

39. The Smithsonian is the only thing worth going to DC for!

signed,

Ssomeone whose 1.5 hour one-way commute would be half that if she didn't have to get to Georgetown from Southern Maryland.

[WoodrowFan]

44. and.....

Dupont Circle area, the Library of Congress, Red, Hot n Blue (ribs), Kalorama, Adams-Morgan, the Kennedy Center, etc, etc.

[Bertha Venation]

49. I am a Philistine.

All of those things are worthies, of course. Dupont Circle has the first Baja Fresh I encountered after moving from So. Cal.! And we have a friend in Adams-Morgan. Fortunately, we have a Red Hot & Blue down here in Waldorf. :9

I don't know what Kalorama is, though . . . will you enlighten a Philistine?

[slutticus]

17. This is a Hannity Style poll....

:evilgrin:

[JVS]

18. Other cities have disqualified.

Being too far West or South is a disqualifier. So is having too many of those horrible beasts known as people.

[slutticus]

24. LOL..

....OK... What about Tullahoma Tennessee, the town I grew up in?

Not many beasts there! (lots of freepers tho)

[JVS]

38. Too far south

[jsw_81]

22. Pittsburgh is the only one on the list that's even close to greatness

If you want to see really great American cities, visit NYC, LA, SF etc.

[DODI]

36. I am very negative on Pittsburgh. Our dark overload parent company

is out of Pittsburgh -- blah!

[Magrittes Pipe]

23. Anyone who doesn't vote for Cleveland is a fascist Freeper FUCK!!!

:P

[fishnfla]

31. I voted for duluth and you are a commie fink bastard

"reds" even your baseball team is commie :(

[Magrittes Pipe]

33. Damn right, you Nazi!

;)

[fishnfla]

34. Comrade:

Cardinals of St Louis (a true blue(?) american team): 8
Reds of Cincinati (pinko commie traitors, should be in the AL):1

5th inning :)

of course, cardinal is a shade of red too.

Cripes, McCarthy was right!

[greatauntoftriplets]

25. Oklahoma City.

My sweetie lives there.

:loveya:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

26. I've only driven through Pittsburgh

but I voted for it, because there's so much I'd like to see there. The Carnegie Museums, the Pittsburgh Symphony, their zoo, Fort Pitt...and dozens of things I haven't mentioned.

[SmileyBoy]

27. FARGO!!!

;)

[baldguy]

28. Buffalo

We've even got a sign that sez so!

[Fone Book]

32. Where Philly at motherfucker?

PHI Nigga!

[JVS]

37. Is that somewhere in the greater Wilmington area?

;-)

[LynneSin]

72. Yep!

:bounce:

[Jack Rabbit]

35. San Francisco

[Bertha Venation]

41. Instant homesickness. Just add sunset on the bay.

Well, shit.

[TheCentepedeShoes]

54. Most beautiful city I've ever visited/eom

[DoctorBombay]

40. So all the nominess (save Wilmington) are from the same area?

How about renaming the poll "Greatest American City West of the Alleghenys, East of the Mississippi River and North of the Ohio River. And Wilmington."

[JVS]

42. Pittsburgh is not north of the Ohio River

It is directly east of the river

West St. Louis is to the west of the Miss. River as well

[DoctorBombay]

46. Pittsburgh is right where the Ohio starts

Jeebus, the confluence is right by Heinz Stadium and PNC Park. It's right on the freaking river. It's not south of it.

[JVS]

47. It's east of the river. It is south of the Allegheny and north of the...

Monongahela. But definitely not north of the Ohio river.

[Norbert]

45. Crawford, Texas

Because...

Well! Because their idiot doesn't live there on a full time basis.

[JVS]

48. Where is the love for (West) Saint Louis?

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

50. Buffalo, hell yeah

Not because it's an attractive city, just because it's so... unique. And the Goo Goo Dolls are from Buffalo.

[worksux]

51. "If you don't like the options, fuck you!"

what are you Dick Cheney???
anybody ever consider a city west of the Mississippi?

[JVS]

53. Where do you think (West) St. Louis is?

[Radical Activist]

52. Where da fuck is Chicago?

Hands down best city.

[LSU_Subversive]

55. Oh, come now. Where's San Francisco?

Fascist.

[JVS]

57. It's in California

And I'm no fascist.

[LSU_Subversive]

59. You're right. I should have said fascist pig.

Man, I'm kidding. Thicken the skin already.
Peace bro.

[Nevernose]

60. Ever been there?

I see you're at LSU, so I'm assuming you're not from CA. Neither am I, but I would kill to live there. Ever been to San Francisco? It's the shit. Beautiful, laid back and exciting at the same time, more "cultural" stuff than most places I've been to, and the people there are exceedingly mellow. My kind of town.

[LSU_Subversive]

61. Actually, I'm from Nevada City, CA

Which is a short distance from San Francisco and another freakin beautiful city. Come to think of it, I should have said Nevada City, CA but nobody would know what the hell I'm talking about (it's a small town).

I've been treated very well in Louisiana and made some lifelong friends. Louisiana has a lot of really wonderful things to offer the rest of the nation. But when it comes down to it, I'm a West Coast chica and that's all there is to it. If you ever have a chance to travel Northern Calif, check out Nevada City. Seriously, you won't regret it.

[LSU_Subversive]

62. BTW, I love your avatar

I used it as my wallpaper for quite some time.

[name not needed]

56. New Fuckin York

[sir_captain]

65. well put

[JVS]

67. kick for the AM crew

[non sociopath skin]

68. I guess I'm going to have to go for Fuck You.

The Skin

[lil-petunia]

69. NO chicago?

for shame!

[Bridget Burke]

70. The great city of Buffalo, NY

Featured in Michael Moore's Canadian Bacon. Not that great a film, but parts are really good--a mainstay on the Comedy Channel.

[69KV]

71. I voted for Duluth

but a poll like this just has to include:
Spokane
Worcester
Cincinnati
Chattanooga
Bismarck
Grand Forks
Fargo
Little Rock
Bethlehem/Allentown
North Platte
and the entire state of West Virginia :)

[GOPisEvil]

73. Woohoo!!! E. St. Louis, my dad's home town!

Looks perpetually like a war zone! A great place to live!

[MissMillie]

74. You can divide St. Louis into east and west...

but you left BOSTON off the list?????

[GOPisEvil]

75. Actually...for reference sake...

There is St. Louis, MO and East St. Louis, IL, spearated by the Mississippi River. Two wholly separate places.

</geography lesson>

[Dying Eagle]

76. GREEN BAY, WI

Home of the greatest football team!!!!!!!!!!
