Can you name a 3rd and 4th city in ANY state besides California or Texas? Or are you stumped after Omaha or Birmingham plus their capitals? Quid, name four cities in Kentucky.

Yeah. Kentucky is a tough one. Louisville, Lexington, Frankfort and then I draw a blank.
But I think naming four cities in New York would be easy for most people: New York, Buffalo, Syracuse, West Point. Almost everyone would know those four.
It's kind of interesting how Washington and Oregon are different in this respect, even though they're both Northwestern states with a similar western/eastern dynamic. There seems to be much more of a pan-Oregonian identity, whereas both residents and outsiders of Washington will specifically talk about Seattle, Spokane, the Olympic Peninsula, etc. if that's what they mean.
I think Colorado deals with the same thing. People generally think of Colorado as either Denver or mountains and skiing where in fact half of the state is essentially Kansas.

As an outsider, I think NY has a thing going for it. To me it's New York or Upstate.
At least that differentiates it. To me when someone says they're from New York, in my mind that is NYC.

The first 3, yes. West Point, ehhh not so sure about. Now if you replace WP with Niagara Falls then I think it's a no brainer.

I would replace West Point with Rochester or Albany.
I think that poster was referring to in-state cities (Boston for MA, Wilmington for DE).
NJ though, off the top of my head I can name Newark, Edison, Hackensack, Morristown, Jersey City, Fort Lee, Palisades Park, Trenton, Orange, Cherry Hill, Camden, Paramus, Montclair etc. and I've only been to Jersey once in my whole life.

Easy. Birmingham, Mobile, Huntsville, Montgomery, and the various suburbs that go along...
I think I could name 3 or 4 cities in more than half the states.
