Which city has the most unique vibe to you?
I must rep one of my favorite cities: MEMPHIS! Cities that strike me the most are the ones that "vibe out". Memphis has vibe! I was pleasantly surprised when I went to Memphis for the first time. I had no idea that it was/ is a chocolate city. I hope that the term does not offend. The city just embraced me with its Southern charm. Memphis feels festive. However, MEMPHIS IS GRITTY! I dig that too.

St. Louis is also a city that vibes out. It has a great air! Good eats adds to the feel. Perhaps, growing up in the Midwest adds to my appreciation of St. Louis.

I'm going to lump Beeville, Tx, Houston, Corpus Christi, and San Antonio in the same category. I spent a summer in Texas in my youth. All of the said cities embraced me and had a totally different vibe from what I was accustomed to. I saw palm trees for the first time in my life. I was in the South. However, it felt nothing like the little town outside of Jackson, Ms that we would frequent in my youth.

Although my time in Philly was brief; the city made an indelible impression on me. My first trip out East. I felt like I was in a hip hop video! Cool ass big city vibe!

I'll never forget the first time I went to DC. I caught the same vibe that I caught in Philly. It felt great!

I live in Atlanta now. I would like to read what Atlanta felt like prior to the "invasion." For sure, it feels good to be out with the family on a Saturday. Especially in the summer. I certainly pick up on the energy. However, it's different. As much as people speak negatively about Riverdale; that place vibes!

As a suburbanite, I use to HATE going to Chicago as a child. My cousins would not stop. Be it slap boxing, signifying, etc. However, the ENERGY was incredible! As I got older, I was enveloped by the energy. I just love the way that we use to get down. Music was good back then. It has this wonderful big city vibe. It has a wonderful Midwestern vibe. It has this crazy festive vibe! It feels dangerous. It feels inviting, etc.

I'm looking forward to feeling L.A. one day.

I can't say which one felt most unique.

NYC: 24/7

Seattle: Haven't been.

Miami: Latina Americana

San Diego: Midwest on the beach

NOLA: Overrated.

LA: Laid back yet still fast paced

Philadelphia: Grey

Houston: Under the radar on purpose

Dallas: The embodiment of Texas

Austin: Austitude, the delusional belief of thinking your city is more than it is. The art of wearing rose tinted glasses that convince you the place is an unfathomable paradise. Still is my 11th favorite city though but the people are some of the most delusional on Earth. They think they're living in San Francisco junior. Hahaha what a laugh.

San Antonio: I love the under the radar city for Latins.

Chicago: The city of broad shoulders casts a massive shadow over much of America. Power, it's what I feel everytime I'm in Chicago. From a little kid all the way up to now.

Minneapolis: I haven't been to make judgment calls.

Pittsburgh: Another city I haven't been to before.

Charlotte: I haven't been there before either.

Tampa: Old people central & midwest on the beach part II

Orlando: Mickey & Minnie Mouse, the Shamu (Jesus how many seaworlds claim to have the real deal? I've been to the San Antonio, San Diego, & Orlando ones and every single freakin one of them claim that they have the original "Shamu". Jeeez, WHAT THE F.

San Francisco: Lovely Pacifico.

Atlanta: I went in 1999 but all I remember are the suburbs my cousins used to live in surrounded by trees & then went through it in 2010 summer on an eastern seaboard trip with friends but only got the chance to eat in Atlanta. I'm still pending on this because I still want to go back to see the city sometime in the near future.

DC: Half of my favorite cities in America & the other half is New York. Home. Liberal. Lovely. Professional. Fast "push comes to shove" paced. It's an amazing city.

Cleveland: Ehhh, I don't know. I haven't been but I'm trying to see all 50 states & major cities at some point before the next 5 years are up. So it's up there to see.

Detroit: The comeback kid. Also the most DREDD style city in America.

Denver: Denvah! Who cant love Denver? It's location near the Rockies cant be beat!

Salt Lake City: I haven't ever been but again it's on the list of places to see.

Las Vegas: I haven't been here either. It's at the top of my must visit list though.
