Step one:?ÿ Which states have a city in their own state such as: Texas City, TX; Oklahoma City, OK; Kansas City, KS; Nebraska City, NE; Iowa City, IA?
Step two:?ÿ Which states have a city that sounds like it should be in a different state: Virginia City, NV: Michigan City, IN; Arkansas City, KS?
I like that Pennsylvania has an Indiana and a California, both with confusing college names.?ÿ
Manhattan KS
Las Vegas NM
?ÿ
Oregon City, OR
Dallas, OR
St. Louis, OR
If we drop off the City part of the city name there are many examples.?ÿ I was thinking of New York City, NY but no New Hampshire City, NH (guessing).?ÿ Is there a Vermont City, VT??ÿ The ghost town of Delaware City, KS did exist.
Wyoming is in Michigan.?ÿ Kansas is in Oklahoma near the Arkansas border. Nevada (pronounced differently) is in Missouri.?ÿ?ÿ
FYI there are five other states besides Ohio with a town named Cincinnati.
There was a Denver, OK.?ÿ Now it lays at the bottom of a reservoir.?ÿ Nothing left but a cemetery and a gas station that bears the name.
Lizaard Lick sounds like it should be in .................., well, .........., North Carolina, I guess.
One of the communities I work around frequently is Gotebo, OK.?ÿ It's pronounced GO'-te-BO'.?ÿ As far as I can tell it is the only Gotebo in the entire world.
As a side note, Gotebo is a good example of how temporary our marks and sticks are upon the earth.?ÿ Here's a photo of the grand opening of Wedel's Big Department Store in Gotebo about 100 years ago:
Here's the same building as it looked the other day:
The prairie is really a hard place.?ÿ It's kind of fitting that a band called Kansas recorded the song "Dust in the Wind".
Georgia has Berlin (pronounced Ber lun), Athens, Rome, and Vienna (pronounced VI anna).

@andy-bruner
You probably wouldn??t recognize Leesburg-Tavares-Mt.Dora area today. It is still beautiful but what were once thousands of acres of Orange groves are now thousands of acres of production housing. Only place to smell Orange blossoms today, other than your back yard, is on south SR27. ?????ÿ
