How many have you been to?

[Mik]

23. Missed El Paso and Seattle. Only one of those is on my list of musts. You guess which one.

[jon-nyc]

Yeah I figured I’d get to three of my missing 4, San Diego perhaps this spring.

The 4th being El Paso.

But I’ve never actually been to a border town. Maybe it would be interesting to see.

[George K]

I'm ashamed, only 9 (plus Portland).

If you expand the list, however, it grows to about 12 -13 (Madison, New Orleans, Milwaukee, St. Paul...)

[Jolly]

I'm not as well-traveled as y'all.

[George K]

(Does breakfast while sitting on a train in Memphis count?)

7. I'm even worse.

I travel plenty I think—just not usually to the largest cities.

Used to be some custom boot shops down in El Paso. Nothing like a pair of bespoke boots.

OTOH, it's been so long since I've been there, they've probably moved the city.

[89th]

Makes you appreciate the population of cities like Tokyo with nearly 40 million.

10 btw. Only like 5 of the top 10 too

[LuFins Dad]

I think Metro Area Population would be a better comparison. Take Columbus, for instance. It ranks #15 on your list, well ahead of even Washington, DC, but it’s only the 3rd largest metro area in it’s state, behind Cleveland and Cincinnati…
