Adding a category:  Cities that are EXACTLY like you expect them to be:

1) Toledo - small, dying city that is putting up a fight against its decline and doesn't completely suck, but I would not want to live there nor do I plan on returning for work anytime soon.

2) Detroit - I was struck more by the emptiness than it being a scalitohole.  It is like Waterbury but 20x the size.  The suburbs are still really nice and really affordable for high end suburbs of a major metro area.  You can buy 6000 sq. feet on the lake in Grosse Point for just over $1MM.

3) Dallas - Generica with a tiny bit of Texas flavor on a massive scale.  Everything is a little overpriced and the place is a pain in the butt to get around because there is not really a downtown.

4) Austin - If you take the arrogance of Silicon Valley and multiplied it with Texans certainty that their state is the best and everywhere else sucks, you get Austin.  I like the music and food, and the economy is incredible, but the people are a little much.

5) Oklahoma City - A third tier city in every way imaginable.
