Charleston is way too fancy and stuck up though. It’s also much more of a beach town.

I lived in New Orleans for the last decade and agree. Gritty old port cities that have been decimated from deindustrialization, are super friendly, love seafood, and have weird accents.

reminds me of this tweet saying basically how dc and nyc are cousins, and philly and baltimore are cousins have only been around tourism philly but i feel like they’ve nicer up there, not a coincidence that every polite person/group i’ve met working in dc ends up being from philly

The correct answer is Pittsburgh. Both ethnic cities made up of neighborhoods. Both got the shit kicked out of them by de-industrialization. Sports towns. Funny accents. Pittsburgh is better on race, Baltimore is more culturally progressive.
However, Pgh reinvented itself in the 70s and is booming.
Pittsburgh is the Wes Moore we just elected.
Baltimore is the other Wes Moore.

Baltimore could be a "big city" if the county and city were to formally merge and create some more cohesive urban form between the two. I think you could do this by focusing more growth/development on the former arterial corridors like York Road, Edmondson Ave, Harford Road. I mean, you're looking at over 1.4 million people who live within the city limits AND within the County's Urban/rural demarcation line. If that's not a "big city" I don't what is. I can't think of another place in the Western world where that wouldn't be considered such.

Whenever I am in Philly I feel at home. It’s just bigger. But it’s always love in that city

Harbor East feels comparably wealthy to Rittenhouse

If you really live in / are from Philly, it’s also a big town.

The answers Philly…. However the #2 closest comparison you don’t have listed. Take out the weather and Charleston and Baltimore remind me a lot of each other.

To be fair we were a slave state in the union and south of the Mason Dixon line kinda makes sense our culture is a bastard hybridization of both

I always say NOLA has a lot of similarities if you don’t consider the attractions of the Quarter and the hub of music.
Both are inland ports, both have a similar inner city culture, both are run by highly suspect politicians and when shit hit the fan (riots an d floods) both got mocked nationally, both are seafood dining destinations both have iconic symbols (our flag and the Fluer De Lis)

Pittsburgh architecture is waaaaay more disjointed and the roads are way weirder tho. Love that city.

I think you’re confusing topside with the bygone. The revival is not that tall of a building to see past the downtown high rises.

Having grown up in Richmond, it feels like Richmond’s love child with Boston

Definitely Philly. They have a similar industrial past.
