Solidify Cities to Visit 🏙️

[nickumia]

Places to research:

• [x] Capitals
• [x] Largest City
• [ ] "Representative" small city

Total should be ~144 cities (3 per state). Capital is important because,

• There is a reason why these cities were chosen as the capital.
• They hold some secret as to how and why the state operates the way it does
• It will highlight the struggle between the government and the people. The government should be of the people, but since there's little to no trust, it's the government vs. the people.
• Show the government side of why technology/infrastructure/culture is the way it is.

Largest city (by population) is important because,

• These are the main hubs that drive America
• The foundation of the melting pot that is America
• Show the most modern areas of the country

Small city is important because,

• It's the contrast to the big city
• It shows the lower-end of America, almost the underbelly or unfiltered part of America
• Should be 1-2% of the largest city per state
• Show the separate identity/experience from the big city mentality.

Consider economic "size" of city

The small city might not be so strategically chosen. I'll probably just choose some city that's on the way while I'm driving between states.
