i.e. sorry omaha
Sorry Austin, too -- I think that's the largest U.S. city without a major sports franchise.

OK I live in the 25th largest metro area in the US apparently, but I voted no b/c of the original topic of the poll - that is, it doesn't really have much of an independent film/arts scene. But I guess by my definition there's only like 4 major US cities.

in DC we don't count the Nationals as a major league franchise but we do count Obama as one.

Major city = wouldn't sound laughably out of place name dropped in Alex Gopher's "Party People."

Look, Ben, movie distribution does not have anything to do with whether a city is "major" or not.

lol, heated
― Reggiano Jackson (gabbneb), Tuesday, 26 May 2009 19:08 (fifteen years ago) link
if yr city is not on one of those lists, it's not a major city for purposes of the original discussion
the original discussion was about women directing films and not whether they lived in major cities iirc.

a city is a major city if it has both a brewery and a folk art museum, end of discussion.
