For arguments sake, let’s say big city = 1 million people or more. Whats the most average and middle of the road city of this size that you’ve been to? A place that is just really mid in everything. Maybe some good food but cuisine is just ok. A few attractions but nothing mind blowing or amazing. Safe enough but neither too crimeridden nor super safe. Public transit is serviceable. It’s kinda walkable. People are somewhat friendly and welcoming.
