Denver: 5280 ft

There is only one mile high city and thats Denver. Exactly 5,280 ft - that is one mile. A city isnt mile high because its over a mile...

Anyway, it looks like Knoxville is around 900 feet. I want to say our thermometer/weather station at home says something like 975 feet, but I'm not exactly sure.

My former place of residence (Los Alamos, NM) was at about 7500 feet, but my house was on a mesa, so I was probably living at something like 7800 feet.

Sure they can. I just thought your post was petty in nature.
