Matching the decade to its corresponding city

[captain_slinky]

I have no idea why, but it suddenly seemed VERY important to me that I match as many cities to the decade that I associate them with as possible. Like, if I could travel back in time and spend a passed decade somewhere, *this* is the city I would like to spend that decade in. Maybe it's a sign from Our Alien Overloards that I'll be starting some Time Travel experiments soon! Anywho, the list:

• 1990's - Seattle, WA
  
• 1980's - Los Angeles, CA
  
• 1970's - New York, NY
  
• 1960's - San Francisco, CA
  
• 1950's - Millwaukee, WI
  
• 1940's - Cleveland, OH
  
• 1930's - Topeka, KS
  
• 1920's - Chicago, IL

And that's as far back as my Decade/City Association goes. For some reason, this list just feels not only *right*, but IMPORTANT. And of course I have no idea why.

Ok, you do realize that the Cunningham's, Fonzie, Laverne & Shirley did not actually exist and live in Milwaukee in the 50's. Right?

So do you have a better city for the 50's, then?

[bghsmith.livejournal.com]

Memphis! Sun City Studios. Yeah, baby.

Hmmmmmm...

Nope! I'll stick with middle America, thanks! Enjoy the 50's in the Heart Land!

You know, I would have bet on you picking Miami, FL for the 1980s ;)

Y'know, that's the weird thing about this list. It wasn't just TV, it wasn't just music, it wasn't just style... it was a combo of *everything*. And in the end, LA beat out Miami for the 80's.

90's... my favorite....

I think grunge, plaid & rain were the REAL reasons why the UW beat out UC Berkley when I was deciding where I was escaping the island to...

I can't imagine you as a Berkley chick. You are a TOTAL Seattle Girl!

What a good meme! I even posted my version of these. :D

I saw! I didn't even think of it as a meme at the time, but yeah!
