Which Southern U.S. city downtowns have the best amenities (such as variety of skyscrapers, possible water features including waterfronts, shops, bookstores, etc.), and why?
The ones who call others trolls, make these kinda threads, are the most annoying trolls of all. Some people take these threads to heart, they must be missing something in their lives. I vote for New Orleans.

Downtown Chattanooga is awesome. Movie theaters, IMAX theater, a river, mountains, huge aquarium, museums, minor league baseball, fountains, public docks, waterfront concerts, groovy condos, cool old buildings.
Really not many cities in the US that can compare with Miami. Atlanta,Houston,Dallas and Miami are in a list of their own compared to the others. Even though Miami is not exactly "Southern"
Downtown Atlanta has a lot, too: true skyscrapers (including the tallest in America outside of NY and Chicago), parks, subway stations, museums, the world's largest aquarium, movie theaters, IKEA, department stores, the world's largest drive-in, a couple of large universities, major league sports, ritzy neighborhoods, and lots of apartments and condo towers.

...all that and water features too!
