1. New York
2. Washington DC
3. Los Angeles
4. Chicago
5. Dallas

I think the top four are going to be some ranking of NY, LA, DC, and/or Chicago no matter what.

I put Atlanta that because its a major financial center and probably the most important city in the South. Its also home of major companies like CNN (and its mass media importance) plus Coca Cola. Financially Atlanta is extremely important, I think more so than Houston or Dallas which are also important.

For the people who say that Walmart completely destroyed America, it is headquartered in Bentonville, Arkansas!!!!!
