Anyone else agree this is a good liberal vs. conservative test of a city?
Yeah, but not really a good Democrat vs. Republican test. Norfolk is heavily Democrat, but we have more gun shops(if we're including pawn shops and sporting good stores, which has a lot to do with the demographics of the city). We still have quite a few strip clubs in the area though. Again, we have the largest Navy base in the world, so that throws everything out of whack.
I think Florida might be a place where the test really runs into trouble actually...
Also, as I said earlier, Durham, NC (which is liberal) appears to have more gun stores than strip clubs.
