Ok, I get it... Menphis, Tenesee is bigger than Miami both in landmass and population, I understand that. Just like Jacksonville, FL is bigger than Los Angeles, Chicago and New York and more populated than San Francisco, Boston and Washington DC.

Miami is a pathetic little player compared to big names like Kansas City, Colorado Springs and Mesa (Arizona). I hate it when someone from Louisville - that's in Kentucky, a state of the USA - comes to Miami with a pretentious big city air attitude and decides to make us feel inferior for being rural people from the swamps. Who the hell he thinks he is? It's not like he is from the big city of Nashville, Tennessee or something.



MIAMI MIGHT BE SMALL, BUT IT HAS A BIG CITY SOUL.

How do u guys deal with pretentious big city people?

I haven't had that experience. But my guess is people are desperately trying to pass for a "native" if they are imitating the same negative attributes that are so prevasive here. Miami certainly has big city attitude regardless of it's population in sheet numbers.

Most miami people are more pretentious, rude and unfriendly than new Yorkers who are famous for those attributes.

I think it is a case of "small man's syndrome" - like the short guy at a bar who acts tougher than the real tough men to prove himself. These pretentious fools in Miami are the short guys trying to prove that it is tough

Is this a joke? Who cares about city limits metro size is what matters. You really think Jacksonville or Kansas City or even Omaha which has the same population if Miami feel bigger than Miami?

I am pretty sure this is sarcasm.

I remember when I first arrived to Charlotte, NC... I felt so small. The big city was bringing me down to my knees, and felt embarrassed for being from a small town. I just wanted to go back to Miami cuz I couldn't take the over 700,000 people and 297.678 sq miles of Charlotte.

That may be true by city wise, but no one in there right mind would think Memphis or Louisville would ever compare to Miami population. The metro itself is more than the entire state of Kentucky.
