1. Counting major metropolitian cities only:
Edited on Fri Aug-07-09 09:10 AM by Tommy_Carcetti
That means cities with major league sports teams and/or large airports:

Baltimore
Washington, DC
Richmond
Norfolk
Jacksonville
Miami
Orlando
Tampa
St. Petersburg
Philadelphia
Pittsburgh
Louisville
Las Vegas
Montreal
Toronto
Raleigh
Fort Lauderdale
West Palm Beach

I've been to the airports in Atlanta and Dallas but haven't explored those cities. Are either of those airports within city limits?

Still haven't set foot within New York City limits. I've been to Westchester County several times, and I've driven past and through parts of New York City (the Bronx) but haven't gotten out of the car or walked around. Was supposed to go last month but my plans got screwed up.

7. Yeah I didn't notice "US Cities" until after the fact.....
....I guess you could consider Nassau, Bahamas if you are including international cities. That's the extent of my world travels. Canada and the Bahamas.
