I have seen other posts like these such as the one on countries and decided to start my own. I am starting a short series of posts in which Atlas decides on their favorite city in each region of the US. Each poll will contain all medium-sized and large cities (population over 200,000) in a certain region. Every state will have at least one city in the poll, so if a state does not have any cities with over 200,000 people, that state will just use its largest city. To avoid clutter (there are over 100 US cities with a population greater than 200,000), the maximum number of cities that a state can have is five.

The first poll lasts for about two days. After that, a runoff vote is held between the top two contenders for a day.

The four regions that I am using are the Northeast, South, Midwest, and West. Here are their boundaries.



The Northeast poll is now open!

Plenty of these cities are great, but it's hard to beat New York.

Didn't realize DC was Washington and voted Baltimore. Pretend Washington has one more vote then it does.

Still should have a four way run-off

the maximum number of cities that a state can have is five.

That's rather arbitrary.  In New England you could have 30 cities in an area smaller than Montana, but Montana would still only be allowed 5 cities.  (and in fact probably only gets one due to the population restraint.)

I voted for Boston.  Mostly because it is the one with which I'm most familiar among those.  I lived in Boston five years, in New York one, and only visited or passed through the rest.  I have been to Philadelphia enough times to know that if you had a least-favorite choice it would get my vote.

Can I just say this is the correct way to define the regions (if you only use four), and anyone who disagrees is wrong? Smiley
