I hear the cliche that Torontonians have kind of a "Seattle freeze" demeanor. Also hear comments from men that Toronto women are difficult to approach. Not sure if the Canadian gestalt generally resembles the PNW, or if it's more a Toronto-specific thing.

At least among the young affluent demo, I see strong similarities between Boston and DC.

Re. Philly/Detroit, I think the built form and cultural framework is too different. Philly is (for U.S. standards) ancient, tiny streets, no metro grid, parochial, extroverted, Detroit is a relatively new metro with gigantic streets, vast metro grid, introverted, slightly passive aggressive.
