Salt Lake because I’m from there.
With – if I understand rightly – it being accepted and often done, that almost any settlement in the US may be called a “city”: I’m going for Monroeville, Alabama. The real-life “Maycomb” of Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird and its prequel / sequel / whatever, both of which I’ve recently been reading.
Bangor, Maine, a city about 45 minutes from home, and the closest “real” city with city-like amenities (malls, box stores, and the like). Thanks to Roger Miller, it is probably the most mispronounced city in the U.S.A.
Maybe the list should be alphabetical?
Minneapolis, MN.
Buffalo, since New York was in the question.
Ever since I’ve was a wee WOOK reading Stephen King I’ve pronounced it in my head as BANGor. Is the accent supposed to be on the second syllable or are they just singing it that way to make it fit the song? How else would one pronounce it?
Same here; the first city I experienced. I still use it as my *yardstick *when visiting other places on that list, however silly that may be.
Colorado Springs, CO.
I lived there for 2 years when I was a teenager.
Atlanta, because I live there. Next up was chattanooga, since that’s where I am at the moment.
Washington, DC, of course, since it’s the capital. After that, probably Chicago, LA, and Houston, and maybe Philadelphia, just by virtue of their size. Only after the biggies would I name my hometown of Cleveland.
This is probably influenced by Civ games, even though I never play as America.
Orlando FL. I don’t know why. Haven’t been there in many years, but that’s what popped in my mind.
Bangor?
I didn’t even kiss 'er.
(Yeah, you knew SOMEONE was going to say it)
Do you live in Ellsworth, or on MDI? I am SO envious!
My brain wasn’t cooperating with the thread premise so it came up with Manchester, the UK one. I don’t know if y’all have a Manchester but I do know there’s a Birmingham, Alabama so there it was 
Most of us pronounce it with the accent on the first syllable.
I don’t live in that area, but I can get to either Ellsworth or Bangor in around 40 to 50 minutes. There’s certainly no need to be envious. My car’s thermometer registered 18° Fahrenheit on my way home from work tonight. Brr!
I live in the DC area, so according to logic I probably should have chosen Washington, DC. I chose Philadelphia. No idea why.
I live in central Jersey, smack between two big cities: NY and Philadelphia.
So Philly it is.
Atlanta, GA as the one time I went to the US was to work there for two months on a project.
Orlando
There’s Manchester’s all over the place in America, including the largest city in New Hampshire apparently.
They’re in order of population size, to see if there’s any correlation between size and memorability.
