Birmingham Alabama has an insane music scene and arts scene. They have a massive film festival annually in August

Artists live where the cost of living is low. That’s how they afford to make art and hone their craft.

The cultural range of, like, NYC or LA is undeniably way larger than can exists throughout, like, small city Middle America. I have to disagree with what you’re suggesting.

Detroit also has an excellent food scene - and I'm not only talking about fancy restaurants.

Arkansas (specifically Little Rock) has a crazy good alt music scene. Talking dozens of bands/several shows a week in a metro area of <750k. Hell, my town of 20k has like 7 active punk/metal/core bands and who knows how many of other genres. If you put in the effort to find it, you can find “culture” stuff anywhere.

I hate the politics of this state, but Florida cities has a ton of vibrant mid-sized cities. Jax, Tally, Pensacola, Gainesville, Orlando, DeLand, Tampa/St. Pete, Sarasota, etc are all dope

You guys are sleeping on Houston honestly. It has an amazing culinary scene, the music scene is diverse, the arts scene is underrated and people overlook how educated that city is. I know it’s in Texas but it really is an amazing city.

Akron, OH has an insane jazz scene. Not only for a city of its size- those guys can hang with the best of them from anywhere

I think southerners are so creative because we grew up bored. We didn't even have a Target in my town until I was like 12. My siblings and cousins and I used to write plays and do improv to pass the time.
