If I said I was moving to Philadelphia, would you ask if I meant Pennsylvania or one of the other more obscure Philadelphias?
BTW, I lived in an apartment in Louisville, TN (which is just south of Knoxville and is pronounced Lewis-ville to the surprise of every telemarketer who called) for a couple of years and even I read the OP's question and immediately thought of Kentucky.
Likewise, if the OP had said Columbus, I would've assumed Ohio (even though my home is in Columbus -- in WI).
Well, maybe if *I* say I'm moving to Philadelphia, you should ask.
