Which Southern City Feels Less Southern? (skyscrapers, beach, skyline, beautiful)

[atlantaATL]

There is Nothing Southern about Miami, Miami primary language now is spanish what other southern city you know has another primary language outside of English. Miami looks like a South american city. Theres not enough Southern people there, too many CArribean and hispanics there for it to be considered Southern

^^^I agree. Even native-born white people from Miami(like Lee Corso on college football gameday) dont have a southern accent.

Strangely enough, the Miami of 50 years ago felt very Southern. My great-uncle and aunt lived in Coral Gables, and they and their neighbors felt very similar to the people I knew in Atlanta.
That, of course, has completely gone away.

Miami

Huntsville

Maybe I got you grading system confused, did you mean the ones with highest number mean more southern or less southern?

I'm starting out with the least Southern feeling city to the most del sud or sureno feeling city. I also don't get how Miami can't add to Southern culture.

Miami, it might be even the least "American" city.

Lol @ Miami being mostly hispanic and white...you ever been there?

The typical stereotype of Miami is that the WHOLE CITY is hispanic, yes there is a large hispanic community but there is also non-hispanic whites, blacks, asians, and arabs as well especially if you include the whole metro area..

MIA is the only plausible answer.
