What US cities are small population-wise (for whatever reason--geography, decline, just starting out growth, etc.), but look & feel much larger than they actually are?
I have several that are just outside of the NYC area, but I'd like to know opinions of others' on this topic.
*White Plains, NY: pop 60,000. Has an exciting and vibrant downtown. Feels like a city with 400,000 people.
*New Rochelle, NY: pop 75,000. Has towers and downtown vibrancy similar to cities 3 or 4 times its size.
*Stamford, CT: pop 120,000. Has a very dense downtown with many major corporations located there. The downtown feels like cities with 500-600k+.
What other cities have that "bigger-than-they are" feeling?
I don't know if it feels bigger, but a lot of people think that Youngstown is a lot bigger than it really is. Currently, there are only about 82k living there.
What are you complaining about? Looks pretty typical.
