List your cities or regions consulates!

[PghUSA]

Urbanguy's Great Idea! was to make a listing of the Consulates and Sister Cities of your region(Post ones of the lower 48 or in other nations in general discussion though).

I thought it was a very cool idea! I am interested in seeing the geographic spread of what nations have representatives where and what cities pair with each other for "sisterdom". So post what you find out here, I'm looking forward to learning lots from this thread and I hope its educational for everyone!

BTW If your from NYC, DC, Ottawa, Toronto, London, Sydney, or Canberra you dont have to post hehe cause each countries capital and leading city basically have just about all of them.

[PghUSA]

Honolulu isn't America's leading city? It should be!

[urbanguy]

^haha well for a city its size it does have a lot but no where near as much as DC with all the embassies and NYC with embassies and the UN as well as many country capitals and largest cities. I think NYC has over a 100 maybe something like a 130 something i did it once but its been a while and Toronto has over 90 not sure about other leading cities.

[Evergrey]

What is a Pittsburgh foreign consulate?

[urbanguy]

^Well its for the foreign consulates in Pittsburgh

[TravisNC]

PghUSA, where did you find this list? I looked at the Embassy/Consulate web sites for Australia, Austria, Canada, France, Germany, and Mexico and I didn't see Pittsburgh on any of them.

--------------

Though I haven't checked many sites the consulates that I know of in North Carolina are:

Canada: Raleigh

Mexico: Raleigh & Charlotte

[PghUSA]

http://www.globalpittsburgh.org/globalbiz/...781070313305138 for the consulates (not ALL of them are listed there) I compiled this list for a site I was building over a year ago just combed through google for "Pittsburgh Consulate" until I found (almost) every one.

Sister Cities are easy for any region (but may not be COMPLETE):

http://www.sister-cities.org/sci/directory/USA/PA

looking forward to seeing the reach of other regions (again save NYC or DC or SF or Philly or Chicago or Miami--your welcome to post them but I'd be more surprised with those cities on listing the ones you have yet to get )

[urbanguy]

TravisNC, those sites dont always show that stuff and a lot time its outdated sometimes you have to search there are many for Honolulu that i found by searching thru different sources and i just recently found out about Morocco being added...

I'm not sure about that. I think the most up to date and accurate info for consulates is their own web sites. If anyone knows whether one of their own consulates exists I'm sure they do.

[PghUSA]

you'd think so, did you ever notice how most cities (especially the smaller ones) don't even list the current mayor?!? Most of these governmental agencies aren't in the technology business, and when people are here traveling abroad the local travelers aid office knows the local consulate, and the embassy # on their passport once called would locate them. It's just that some of these Embassies dont think posting every consulate or every honorary consulate (which there are several dozen) is a top priority. Shame. But what can you do.

Again if anyone has there region to add I'd love to see the lists and thanks for all the contributions!

[ShowMeKC]

Well, KC's website is always updated kcmo.org

they have recordings of council meetings etc... along with all the ordinances ever passed. They meet every thursday and I try to watch the council meeting on the cpu when I'm at home.

[urbanguy]

I just edited my originaly post to add Honolulu's sister cities & friendship cities!

BTW do other cities have friendship cities too? It seems to be a new thing because most of the friendship cities started in 2003 up to 2004 and frankly i dont know what its all about but it had a list of mayors from those other cities.
