Game time! Like the old show, Name that Tune....and some people were able to say "I can name that tune in one note", I offer you the Name That City game.
How is it played? Simple. I came up with a list of major US cities and tried to come up with one word (usually an adjective) to describe each one.
I will list the descriptive words below. Your job (I'll make it like another t.v. show, Mission Impossible, ands "if you chose to accept it"),is to figure out which city I'm trying to describe.
Disclaimer here: it is virtually impossible to come up with just one word to describe a city so this list is purely my own and you could easily think the adjective(s) I chose were wrong or ambiguous or whatever.
So I guess you can call it "Read my mind"...but, it's all in good fun. I did the best I could (even though, I admit, others could do a lot better), so if you feel like giving it a shot, I'll offer it below.
No city can appear more than once.
One more thing: Today being Tuesday.....I'll wait until Friday and give the answers. So here goes (nothing?)

04 cultured: Boston
15 showy: Dallas

11 sudsy: Milwaukee
21 religious: Salt Lake City
Thus with only 5 people responding, 14 out of 22 correct answers have been identified. And in my book, that is about 2/3 and darned impressive. GO TEAM C/D!!!!!!
No one has gotten the following correct:
02 eclectic
06 exotic
07 rambunctious
16 pristine
17 tropical
18 huckster
20 brawny
(the 8 above can now be used as the new, reduced list. Remember: no city can be listed twice, so the correct answers given up above are off limits.
