I will think bright. High median house hold income of $93k, nice growth rate of 14%. I find it a very attractive city with decent density without feeling overwhelmed like NYC or Boston.
Columbia Mo
Bright.
Missouri's boomtown. Great college town. good location half way between KC and SL.

Tulsa, Oklahoma.
I'd say bright. Except for the 2010 Census(where the city of Tulsa population only fell 0.3%), it's grown at about 2% or more each of the last several decades. And it has a lot of the more desirable grocery stores and retail chains, to already build stores there(i.e. Trader Joe's, etc).

Stillwater, OK
Bright.
I read that it has a diverse economy including *aerospace, agribusiness, biotechnology, optoelectronics, printing and publishing, and software and standard manufacturing. And its **home to the main campus of Oklahoma State University. Also, the state in general is a growth state.

Charleston, SC
Bright. The area's experiencing growth. Temple TX?

Temple should have a bright future, as it is convenient to Austin via I-35 with drastically more affordable housing. One of the country's largest army bases is also nearby and a reliable source of growth.

Never heard of it before, but based on it's proximity to Austin I'd say it most likely has a bright future. It does appear to be located near Fort Hood and from my experience military base towns can be a mixed bag. But I could see people getting priced out of Austin moving up there.

Greensboro, NC
Bright! I’d wager the low cost of living, central but accessible location in NC and charming downtown will continue to attract people and businesses at a modest, sustainable rate.
Bleak. Even with the safe downtown Detroit still struggles with violent crime, and there is still a good amount of abandoned neighborhoods in the city.
Milwaukee.

Milwaukee.
Bright. I lived in Milwaukee for a month last August. I see the rougher neighborhoods as a plus—they can’t get much worse. All the vacant lots are opportunities for denser housing or gardens. Mlwke is a great as an affordable alternative to Chicago. Maybe the locals prefer to not have so many F.I.B.s moving there and I’m glad to have left since I was getting too comfortable enjoying the bike trails, parks, and lakefront. It’s still a pretty big city and there’s plenty of urban exploration to be had with room for improvement in the music and art scenes. I think it will be more exciting and lively there in five years or so

Independence, MO
I'd say bright. Still experiencing job growth and low crime rate. Lincoln NB?
