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.
