Oddly the only one I havn’t been to is the Capitol, Lansing.
I have actually lived or worked in 10 of the top 25
20 cities down the list in Utah gets you pretty darned small.
Salt Lake City - 186440
West Valley City - 129480
Provo - 112488
West Jordan - 103712
Orem - 88328
Sandy - 87461
Ogden - 82825
St. George - 72897
Layton - 67311
Taylorsville - 58652
South Jordan - 50418
Logan - 48174
Lehi - 47407
Murray - 46746
Bountiful - 42552
Draper - 42274
Riverton - 38753
Roy - 36884
Spanish Fork - 34691
And I’ve been to all twenty. With the exceptions of Logan and St. George, they’re all within at most an hour’s drive of each other, clustered closely in three main metro areas.
I don’t even live in Oregon but I broke down in Gresham once,

This last one surprises me greatly because I now live there and it’s not really all that big.
Wisconsin. I had fun with this. I’ve been to all of the top 20; the first one I can’t be sure of is Franklin (a Milwaukee suburb), coming in at 22nd. So much fun, I decided to check all cities above 10,000. Of these 85 cities, I have been to all but 7. Not bad for a California transplant.

I haven’t lived in Pennsylvania in decades and I have been to every one of those 20 cities. Good lord.
Oh and by the way, if Hialeah really is the sixth - largest city in Florida they must be counting warehouses as people. I see more of those than anything else there.
I won’t bore you with the list but I had to go down to the 48th city in Oklahoma. (Sallisaw - population 8,880)
Nah. Cicero has a reputation, but it’s not that bad. I used to go to it regularly when the restaurant Xni-Pec was there, but there’s still several eating and drinking establishments that are worth visiting, especially Freddy’s, and I’m a big fan of the Czech scene at Klas. I find myself more often next door at Berwyn these days, but Cicero still has some things worth visiting. Cicero’s crime rate isn’t all that bad–certainly much better than Chicago’s, and better than a few nearby suburbs like North Riverside, Forest View, Forest Park, etc.
Arizona for me, been here on and off most of my life.
All of them except #18 and #20, both of those being retirement enclaves off the path.
Lived in Idaho for three years, and have all but Chubbuck
Ammon, 18 out of 20 there.
Lived in Washington 8 years, and looks like I have 19 out of 20 there.
-Whew- I’m out of states.
