ITT: name real-life cities that could be considered rivals.

I'll start with the obvious: New York vs. Boston. To a lesser extent, New York vs. Los Angeles.

Seattle vs. Portland

Fuck you, Portland.

Madrid v. Barcelona

Singapore v. Vegas

Toronto to Vancouver: Who can suck up the most immigrants to counter our old shrived population.
Or alternatively, Calgary and Ottawa: Who tries harder to pretend not to love oil.

Chicago v. Every other big city in the United States

Sydney vs Melbourne

Not sure where you're living but the main rival of Calgary is Edmonton. Fuck Edmonton.

And on the other side of the country we have St. John's vs. Saint John (yes, one is possessive and yes one has the entire word Saint spelled out. They're very specific about that).

There's many saints name John, are they named after the same dude?

I'm pretty sure they are. Saint John is in New Brunswick and St. John's is in Newfoundland so they're pretty close to each other.

Boston vs. everyone

Oh, here's another one: Dallas vs. Fort Worth. This is why Six Flags Over Texas, AT&T Stadium, and the Rangers' ballpark are in Arlington. Same thing with Minneapolis vs. St. Paul and how all their teams start with Minnesota, regardless of the side of the river they play on (though the Wild are the only ones to play in St. Paul).

Southampton vs Portsmouth

Baltimore vs Ferguson

Liverpool vs Manchester

We're not racist, we only hate Mancs.

Detroit vs. Flint vs. Saginaw.

Competition for the worst city in the United States, clearly and they're all in michigan oh joy

Maribor vs Ljubljana

Two of the biggest cities in Slovenia and they compete in football/soccer. Some of the people in Maribor call people of Ljubljana "Žabarji" (some insult that relates to frogs).

Praia vs Mindelo

Paris vs. Marseille.

From a local, that's basically it.

but it's mostly Boston vs. The Weather.

Saint Louis vs. Chicago (Fuck you Chicago.)
Phoenix vs. San Francisco (I dunno it seems to work.)
Philadelphia vs. Detroit
Palmyra vs. Everyone Else (Everyone Else isn't stupidly boring and filled with hillbillies.)

Los Angeles vs. New York
Los Angeles vs. San Francisco
Los Angeles vs. Anaheim

Gary City, Indiana vs. Ashtown, Dublin

Rome vs Carthage

Dallas vs. Houston vs. San Antonio (especially when it comes to NBA teams)

Bangkok vs Pattaya vs Phuket

Tourism war
