what are some underrated cities?

Went to Portland, ME last year and loved it. Of course, it was July.

Dublin, Ireland. Had fun there.

Cusco Peru

Quite frankly I’m disgusted by this thread. How has wi gotten this much positive attention. Literally anywhere in Minnesota is better. Sconnie is full of drunks and one of the grossest places I’ve ever been too. And the fact that Milwaukee has beened lauded to the degree it has has solidified my opinion that this forum is full of dong smugglers. In conclusion Minnesota is simply the best place on earth.

Agreed. Minnesota rocks. And I am a dyed in the wool coastie.

How has no one mentioned Richmond, VA? Incredible historic running city close to the mountains, beach and DC.

Kansas City is where it's at! Plenty of places to run, clean and friendly, best BBQ in the world, Chiefs are on fire, etc.

Not to mention it's the frottage capital of the world.

Do you have a citation for this? I need one before I can pitch this for marketing.

New Haven, CT

Providence, RI

Charleston, SC

Lisbon, Portugal

I’ve never understood people’s fascination with living in big crowded cities. Give me a small town any day. Places like Sitka, AK, Red Lodge, MT, Palisade, CO, New Braunfels, TX, Taos, NM, Jackson, WY, Coer d’lene, ID, Anacordes, OR, Bellingham, WA, Marthas Vineyard, MA, etc. You all can have your cities.

Dubuque, Iowa is a gem

England is my city wrote:

El Paso, Texas.

Must be a great place, given all the new illegal residents this week.

Monroe, LA

Great running trails, great food, great beer, very affordable

Small towns are great, I'll take Taos, Bellingham, Martha's Vineyard any day, but the thread is about underrated cities.

Bend, Oregon may be very nice but it is not a city.

Nothing in Oklahoma is any good at all, certainly not Oklahoma City

Milwaukee is the only city in which I became extremely depressed simply because it was so boring.

I was thinking that the guy who mentioned New Haven and Providence (and Lisbon) might be me under another name because I was going to mention them and, you know, maybe I'd forgotten I'd already done so.

How did you get bored in Milwaukee? I lived there 5 years & was never bored. What are you hobbies? Milwaukee may be a lot of things, but it's certainly not boring. It's supposedly the new Portland.

Philadelphia is a party. I think it has a reputation for being a dump, and while it certainly more crappy areas than other cities, it's still a great town. Despite being the sixth most populous city in the country, it seems to get forgotten by being between NYC and DC.

Rosepine, Louisiana.

Nome, Alaska. ?

Huh?

OKC rocks dude!

And have you seen the beautiful Univ of Oklahoma campus? Beautiful in more ways than one...if you know what I mean. ?

Philly and New Orleans. I live in SF now but I could see myself living in one of those two. In NOLA I’d want to do a reverse snowbird, Live there 9 months out of the year and head north in the summer to get away from the heat and bugs.

Russian cities?
