Tell us the favorite city you've ever visited or lived in and why you love it.

Aside from my beloved Chicago, I loved Portland the best. Why? Ever seen Portlandia?? It's exaggerated, of course, but it really is a hippy, artsy, coffee house cool place...with great food and culture. Also, I am a fan of rainy days.
PS. Friend me if you like.

    lol while it is one of the finest places on earth, it's hardly the ONLY good one. New Yorkers often have this type of arrogance. Cracks me up.

    it's not arrogance if it's true.
  • I love Chicago and Charlotte. Chicago just has a great vibe, great food, and the architecture is nice. Charlotte is super-clean, friendly, and also has a great vibe.

    I love cities. I am an Urban Planner and Urban Designer. I live in Seattle because it is where I fell in love with cities. I love the hills and water. I like the concentrated downtown. I love the green trees and the nice neighborhoods and unique districts. However there are other great cities out there. Vancouver BC is beautiful and exciting as of course is San Franciso. Boston is a favorite and I love NYC. I have been to some European cities and loved them but didn't spend enough time to feel like I knew them. I lived in Houston and it was depressing for me I felt like there wasn't any environment. I like Austen and San Antonio though. There are some great areas in Houston but when I look out my window now in Seattle I can feel the developed city within its natural environment. In Houston where I lived it was just all developed environment. If you had lots of money great you could live on a lushly landscaped lot with a pool etc. but in Seattle there are the evergreen trees, the hills, the water the environment is lived within not bulldozed over. I love that. I love the juxtaposition of Pike Place Market and the view of Elliot Bay. I love the Ferries crossing the sound. I love walking/running around Greenlake, not to mention all the other parks. I like that if I want to I can choose anyone of a number of neighborhood shopping districts to go to too that are each unique. The traffic is terrible and we are behind with public transportation although our buses have always been pretty good. But lately I think that has gone backwards in some ways.

    NYC is definitely by far the best US city. i havent spent enough time in a single international city long enough to compare it against fairly.
  • Chicago and Philladelphia =):wink:

    Seattle. For the culture, the food, the music, and everything KeriA said. Now if we could somehow control the lack of sunshine....

    Besides Buffalo (which where I am from), my favorite city would be Boston because of the food, the history and it's culture!!
  • Chicago! Where you can talk to people (least snobby city) & the garbage is not laying on the sidewalk ( we have alleys for that). Sorry new Yorkers! We also have some of the best recreational sports leagues and running paths! We have great beaches so we can show off our hot bods!

    I have barely been anywhere, so it's hard to say, but i gotta put my love in for Chicago. There is a vibe to the city unlike anywhere i've ever been. I also love Denver.
