If you strip off all features that make an American big city unique which would be the most archetipical one? Which one is the 'real America'?

>>2895003Columbus Ohio is considered to be the most representative and ordinary American city. Companies test shit there because of how it's the archetypical american city
>>2895003Houston Texas
America doesn't have unique cities, they're all the same copy-pasted strip malls, chain fast food stores, and zombie hordes of drug addicts and fatties. The only variation in American cities is what % of the population are nigs.
>>2895003East St. Louis, Illinois.
Williamsburg>inb4 "city" means +1million people only
>>2895017That goes for all of Ohio really. Whenever I drive through I think about how this must be exactly how foreigners imagine the US to be like.
>>2895003Dallas or Indianapolis
>>2895018At the surface level, but it's considerably more quirky and vibrant in practice than most cities. You see sprawl, but it's significantly more international that it looks and very lenient zoning gives it a different street character than other sprawly American cities.I'm not from Houston, but I lived there for several years, and while it's not a good place for tourism, it has a lot more going on than the typical sprawling, vaguely midwestern places people imagine as a typical American city.

If you had to do something to fit what you want OP which more or less is a stereotype. It would be hands down Lubbock>college parties>everyone in town knows when the football game is>BBQ BEER BEEF everywhere>large church going or Christian adjacent population>more or less all 4 season>everyone will bump into everyone or you're 3 people away from knowing someone>US holidays or Christian holidays will shut down most the town>farms in every direction outside city limits>somehow manages to have most every ethnic group in some representation even if small

>>2899362Lubbock is a city of workers from the oil field, oil processing, CDL, University town, and some other things. Closest "city" is Amarillo 2 hours away, and Metro area is 4hours or so to DFW. Nothing else around much.It's good if you want to live cheap, you grab a house here in Lubbock for ~80k homestead it and pay 100/mo in taxes. Tech is big coming up so if you just wanted somewhere stable as long as tech, college, and oil is needed Lubbock isn't going anywhere.>there's no real people there, are there?Everyone is real, just everyone will ask why the fuck you moved there if you don't say trucking, teaching(at the university), or oil.
