Perhaps not, but Milwaukee is a "Genuine American City".

I was thinking the same thing. In any picture of Atlanta's skyline you see more trees than buildings. When you're walking around, there are trees everywhere.
I mean, unless you're living under a rock, the most dense tree canopy in the country is clearly in what I think of as the Inland Piedmont Region (Atlanta to Greenville and Charlotte and Raleigh) all the way up the Appalachian Ridge to New England.
The only place along the East Coast north of Georgia where tree canopy is not very dense is immediately near the coast, and even that is not necessarily the case. Southern New Jersey stands out in my mind as a place that is lacking super dense tree canopy in this corridor...but it's the exception.
