@SheilaDeBonis Tallahassee Florida is the same way. The big population centers are around Miami, Tampa, and Orlando. The oldest cities are St. Augustine and Pensacola.

Even our state capitals in the US often aren't the richest cities in the state. Often they are a city just dedicated to the state government.

@yaush_ True. Same in California, Sacramento compared to LA and SF. In Florida, Tallahassee is small town in North Florida compared to the greater Miami, Orlando, and Tampa areas.

@davinnicode Yeah, I don't know much about Pennsylvania, but poor city management is definitely not uncommon. Heck we have large cities like Detroit that pretty much fell apart after the manufacturing sector moved, and when they built the Interstate Hwy system about 70 years ago whole small towns just disappeared because they where bypassed by the new road system. There are multiple ghost towns in my part of the country, that are nothing but a few old building out in the middle of the forrest.

 @archivesincomplete I was born in North Florida in '85, and the south has been overdeveloped to the point of being unrecognizable imo.

@archivesincomplete Yeah, but many of the small towns I grew up frequenting have exploded in growth. I now have to drive about 100 miles, compared to 20 when I was a kid, to get to the real country, that doesn't have pre planned levittowns around every bend of the hwy. Many of the farms I grew up hunting on and working with horses and cows are now in the middle of town.

@archivesincomplete The little farm I hunt on in Pace, FL is now completely surrounded on all side by subdivisions and houses stacked on top of each other. Still lots of deer though, I just have to use a crossbow. Some of the places I go in Alabama are still pretty rural, but it depends on the county.

 @bodo887 I thought it was the biggest city in the world.
