Do cities have personalities?

[RealDems]

Okay, so we have some posts on liberal vs. conservative cities... but get more in depth than that. What are the stereotypes of certain cities?

I'll give it a go from my perspective:

New York: sophisticated, cynical, brash, fast. (those were obvious)

Boston: quaint, working-class, cohesive, well-educated (Even though I lived in Boston for a year, my main image comes mostly from Good Will Hunting)

Baltimore: quirky, blue-collar, classic-old-port-city, gritty (my hometown)

DC: a city filled with outsiders, very well educated, political, ambitious, topical, self-aware (my other hometown)

Now onto cities I know less about...

Chicago: help me out here -- no obvious stereotypes come to mind...

San Francisco: laid back, progressive, young, wealthy, optimistic

Seattle: trendy, young, educated, innovative

L.A.: invented, low sense of community, flashy (wow... that sounds bad... I actually like L.A.)

Dallas: conservative, rich, arrogant, showy

Atlanta: Never been to Atlanta... feel free to comment on this one...

Well, I'll stop there, but feel free to add your own or correct me on my stereotypes...
