I don't know what those weird rings are around city A, but I don't want any of it.

I'm fairly confident that it's going to be City B, but do you happen to have a better zoomed in shot of City A? I can't really see what's going on there.

After a little fancy internetting, I know what the two cities are.  Obviously A is the "better" city, but I still think I'd rather chose B.

Yeah, it wasn't too difficult to determine what City B is. It took a little more creativity to determine what City A was, though. Anyway, I agree with your assessment, A is the better city, but I'd rather live in B.

I instantly knew A but I can't seem to put a finger on B. Regardless, A is much more appealing for a number of reasons.

So it is between Minneapolis (City A) and Phoenix (City B)?  I'll choose Minneapolis, then.

That is NOT Minneapolis, but now that I know city B is what it is I wish I did create all those false accounts for Vermont against New Hampshire that I threatened so I could use them against one of my least favorite cities of all time.

Me too....well, sort of.  My first assumption was actually the right one, then I convinced myself it wasn't right.

I knew city A from sight, and didn't know city B, but suspected it was one of those mid-sized metroploisises in the US sunbelt, so...voted for A.

Correct decision.

I've never had any trouble getting around Amsterdam. I just don't recommend driving into...

Who the hell wants to live in Phoenix ? Or in a desert in general ? You have to be mad.

Therefore A) for Amsterdam.

Yes. That would be obvious - at least, obvious as an option -  to anyone who knows anything about Amsterdam (besides "they have weed and hookers", I mean).

I voted city A before reading the thread. Quite happy with my choice. I wasn't sure if B was Denver or Phoenix, so I decided to take the gamble. If I knew that B was Denver I wouldn't come to a definite conclusion.
