To dispel any misperception that I’ve traveled little I’ve been to Washington DC, Boston, Seattle, St. Louis, and New Orleans. The first three strike me as being more “big cities” than Austin, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, or El Paso. :dubious: None of the latter have big-city transit systems to remotely rival the Boston T or DC Metrorail, for example. RTFirefly’s list of metro areas bears me out.

Ok, now is the time for the big confession: I’ve actually been twice in Bielefeld. First time, of all events, for a Santana concert. Second time, accompanying a friend checking out a Mercedes Benz like this for sale. The concert happened, the sale didn’t (mostly for matters of rust).
So naturally I think I travelled twice into another dimension.
Crapped up the link for the Mercedes above, here it is: https://www.tw-sportsoft.de/TW_OnlineNennung/ADAC_KATHREIN_Rallye_2013/teilnehmer_images/FAHRZEUG_BILD_58999645_Hiemer_Groote_MercedesBenz_W110190DCHeckflosse.JPG
14/20 of the original US list, 18/20 of the CSBAs (missing Seattle and Houston)
5/20 of the Canadian list.
9/20 of the English list.
5/20 of the Scotland list.
The only other lists I could get are 2/20 for Spain and 1/20 for France (unless Parisian suburbs count as cities)
Hmm. I guess I’ve been to Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, and may have passed through San Jose. Outside of California (I’ve lived in Washington for 47 years), the biggest cities I’ve been to have been Portland, OR and Seattle.
Same here.
Also, 9 of Canada’s.
Nine of ten largest in Portugal.
Seven of France.
Five of Spain.
