What little cities do you think are interesting that aren't very well known or attractive to everyone else? What are some underated smaller cities that you think will be much better off 10 years from now? Don't break out the heavy stats just your personal opinions.
My votes goes to the city of New London, CT. Its small, dense, gritty & historic. Its got a working waterfront and scenic ocean front where the Thames River meets Long Island Sound. Downtown has a lot more going on over the past few years and seems less run-down. Great historic neighborhoods, US Coast Guard Acadamy, Naval Base and submarine facility across the river. Midway (roughly) between Boston and New York.
Pfizer's new headquarters are here (even though their location is the result of some serious eminent domain). The nearby casinos are bringing more people to the area. New Acela high speed rail stops here. It does have a gritty, industrial image, especially from afar, and its got some really ugly highway commerical stuff near the highway. Its sort of a rougher, more industrial Portsmouth, NH, with lots of potential for improvement.
Hard to find good pictures.
