Most similar: Winston Salem, Greensboro, Chattanooga.

Least similar: Grand Rapids, Milwaukee, Minneapolis/St. Paul

Makes sense, I fricking loathe the accents from up there. Nothing worse than a hot broad with that awful accent.

Kind of creepy.

Most similar is Ft. Worth. I grew up in Dallas, so this seems plausible.
