Poll question: What city do you live closest to, part 2

I shook up the options, including other cities.

I'm closest to D.C. in this poll.

Phoenix: 386.24
San Francisco: 372.90

4. Hi, huskerlaw

It's a neat way to discover things like that.. hope you enjoyed the polls. There will only be 2 parts.

[huskerlaw]

5. Hi!

I knew they were both about 6-7 hours by car. I didn't know it was only about 10 miles different though...geesh!

:hi:

[nickgutierrez]

2. Miami

Almost exactly a two-hour drive. I had to drive there and back last Friday, and sitting down hasn't felt right since. x(

[Maraya1969]

17. I'm in Fort Myers where are you?

[nickgutierrez]

29. Naples. n/t

[SalmonChantedEvening]

3. Philadelphia

So close I can smell the really good cheesesteaks.

:)

[greendog]

6. Portland's only 588 miles from here.

Salt Lake City is 634.

[GOPisEvil]

7. In that poll? Portland, OR.

[fizzgig]

8. in this one, slc

another place i've never visited, but i share the dwarves' view on it

[krispos42]

9. First Minneapolis vote here n/t

[KitchenWitch]

10. No love for San Diego!

:rofl:

Just kidding.

I am 35 miles from Los Angeles.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

27. San Diego is a "shadow city" due to its proximity to LA

Hence, it doesn't come up on National Weather maps. Just like Baltimore often gets ignored between Philadelphia and Traffic Circle Hell, DC.

[Broken_Hero]

11. ST. Louis in this one, about 4hrs away...nt

[Starry Messenger]

12. San Francisco.

Oddly enough I could see it better when I lived in Oakland. I miss the view! At least its a shorter drive, now.

[pokerfan]

13. I'm closer to Seattle than Portland

but there was no Seattle in the poll so...

[Adsos Letter]

14. No Laramie, Wyoming?

:wtf:



:hi:

[fizzgig]

30. i think i'd be one of only a few here who'd pick that option

;)

doesn't seem to be a whole lot of us in my neck of the woods

[Scooter24]

15. New Orleans for me...

I live in the DFW area and it's just over 500 miles to New Orleans. The next closest city would be St. Louis which is about 625 miles away.

[Lucian]

16. Minneapolis.

It's only a two hour drive from here.

[bluesbassman]

18. San Francisco. About 35 miles as the crow flies.

About 2 hours as the car drives on a bad commute day.:(

Fortunately I rarely have to do that.:)

[grace0418]

19. No Chicago? I refuse to put St. Louis as my choice. No offense to St. Louis but I live

*in* Chicago. Not near it, in it.

[bluesbassman]

21. Chicago is in the first poll further down the page. n/t

[JohnnyLib2]

20. You've got my curiousity WAY up.

:kick:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

22. TWENTY cities and NO Houston???

For some reason Houston gets ignored a lot in national surveys.

It's the FOURTH largest city in the U.S.

2.5 million people in the city limits.

4 million people in the Metro area.

Right behind NYC, Chicago and L.A.

Why they ignore it, I don't know. :shrug:

[cleveramerican]

23. no Boston?

lots of good DU dems up here.

[jeff30997]

24. Boston is in part 1:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=8634718&mesg_id=8634718

That's the nearest American city,in the 2 polls,from where I live.

[surrealAmerican]

25. I could hop barefoot to Chicago...

... so I put St. Louis.

[Shell Beau]

26. New Orleans is about a 3 hour drive from here!

[geardaddy]

28. I'm in Mpls.

Born and bred. Live here. Work here.

[SacredCow]

31. About 45 minutes from N'awlins.....

give or take- depending on traffic and how quick I'm trying to get there!

[GreenPartyVoter]

32. Major city? Boston, I guess, if 5-6 hours away is "close".

[KamaAina]

33. San Francisco is a mere 2400 miles from the sacred 'aina

oddly, L.A. isn't up there, but it's slightly farther, despite being farther south, because of the way the coast cuts eastward around Santa Barbara.
