I think Oregon probably has the most cities named after other cities.

Unfortunately, there's no Las Vegas Oregon. :(
Wait. You pronounce "Oregon" the same as "Maine", "Massachsuetts", "New York" AND "Michigan"?:confused:

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. :D

John Prine and Iris Dement tune

By a fountain back in Rome
I fell in love with you
In a small cafe in Athens
You said you loved me too

And it was April in Paris
When I first held you close to me

Rome, Georgia
Athens, Texas
And Paris, Tennessee

No we're not the jet set
We're the old Chevrolet set
There's no Riviera
In Festus, Missouri

And you won't find Onasis
In Mullinville, Kansas
No, we're not the jet set
We're the old Chevrolet set
But ain't we got love?

Diebler is old news. Right now, it's all about the Jimmer.

The Jimmer should be grateful to the Dieb for letting him have all the spotlight this year.

Do you pronounce the capital of Kentucky LOUIS-ville, or LOUIE-ville?

Of course you are forgetting Gouverneur ... the booming metropolis between the two & and home of the lifesaver.

Growing up in Watertown, and going to school at Clarkson, had me travelling US 11 more times than I can count (of course, the fans know that I can't count higher than 2). I was never stopped along route 11, other than the random border patrol stop.

And home of Kinney Drugs. I did not forget Gouverneur, but I never got a ticket there, either. Malone, Potsdam, Canton, Gouverneur, darkness, Watertown. Dang that trip to Batavia was long.
