LOL, I don't think Minnesota even has that many cities.

Do boroughs count? If I thought long enough, I can probably rip off close to 50 just in Allegheny County since Pittsburgh has something like 100 of those small boroughs between 500 to 5,000 people. If it's strictly based on a "city" classifications, gets tougher but I probably can still do it if I sat down and thought about it for awhile.

For other bordering states to Ohio, I could do Michigan as well if I thought about it (again, probably knock out 25 in metro Detroit/SE Michigan). I'm sure I could think of 25 others after that.

Indiana, I probably could do 25 to 30 if I thought (Indy doesn't have many suburbs you can use as a cheat code, lol). No way could I do Kentucky or West Virginia, though I can probably still name 10 to 15 in each.

I haven't looked at the entire thread, but I don't think suburbs should count...just the main city itself. An MSA should be as one, maybe? Or, in the case of Minnesota...two, one city for Minneapolis and one for St. Paul.

GA is a little bigger than VA, so here goes...

Atlanta Covington Newnan St. Marys Carnesville
Savannah Gainesville Americus Cordele Dawsonville
Macon Tifton Canton Woodbine Jefferson
Columbus Dahlonega Milledgeville Pooler Livonia
Valdosta Athens Statesboro Tybee Island Martinez
Augusta Warner Robins Wrightsville St. Simons Island Carrollton
Brunswick Toccoa Elberton Cleveland Hartwell
Rome Waycross Blue Ridge Cumming Ellijay
Dalton Kingsland Cartersville Hinesville LaGrange
Albany Jesup Darien Perry Donalsonville

Did it!

Positives
- I knew 50! I've been through GA a few times (family in Gainesville, spent time in JAX, drives on 75, 85, and 95, so I'm not a newbie to the state

Negatives
-tried to come up with 50 without suburbs (I cheated a little, Martinez and Pooler) and I did have to toss in a few exurbs as well. Impressed that I finished with 50 without the ATL burbs though, I maybe could've gotten to 60 or 70 with those...
- not sure if all these are actually cities, I didn't look any of them up...

Louisiana-
Natchitoches
Lake Charles
Lafayette
Alexandria
Slidell
Metaire
Kenner
Shreveport
East Shreveport????
Orange, LA ???
New Orleans
Houma
East Baton Rouge???
couldn't even come close to 50... 13 is more like it.

Edit- all 3 of the ones with??? marks don't exist, if I had thought about it a little more would have gotten Covington, LA. Maybe Bossier City and Mandeville would be a stretch as well as Monroe, Louisiana. Was thinking of Angola but could only come up with Anaconda because of the Prison.

I believe Long Island only has 2 cities ... Glen Cove & Long Beach.

NY is complicated because you have towns, hamlets, village, cities etc ... not everywhere is a 'city'
