I nominate Bellevue, Washington: population 126,626.

Hopefully I can find a better picture soon.

That is an excellent picture but Bellevue's metro area has more than 4 million people being a part of the Seattle metro.

Ah, see, I was somewhat confused. I assumed Regina's city population was 190,000, with the metro being bigger (looks bigger than it is, anyway). Never mind, we can eliminate Bellevue from the running.

sorry, I've fixed my post, now it shows regina city and metro population.

Manitopiaaa · January 16th, 2011, 01:16 AM

So Regina's Metro is practically Regina

this seaside city must have lots of tourists everyday! the numbers of the condo buildings would easily accommodate a million of visitors.

ThatDarnSacramentan · January 16th, 2011, 08:04 AM

This one might be cheating, but how about Monaco (population 33,000 roughly)?

this one is cheating too! Tons of tourists and foreigners come to this tiny city/state for its casinos and tax haven.

Manitopiaaa · January 17th, 2011, 09:57 PM

Isn't Monaco also in Nice's metro area which has 900k+

Myouzke · January 17th, 2011, 10:25 PM

Malé (population 103,693)

If you can have Benidorm in this thread, Monaco can be in this thread, and last I checked, it wasn't part of Nice's metro area.

I'm closing this thread temperary until we figure out what cities are eligible for this contest.
