What do you believe are the most misspelled cities in the U.S.?

Among other things that annoy me, it really annoys me when people misspell cities like Tucson and Phoenix.

I'd have to say Kissimmee, Florida. I frequently misspell it like "Kissimee" or "Kissime". Basically, it sounds like kiss me.

I can't find the link, but the U.S. Postal Service confirmed that "Pittsburgh" is the most frequently-misspelled major city name in the United States. ("Tucson" was second.)
