OK, now on to the topic.......
Albuquerque
Anchorage
Birmingham
Houston
Indianapolis
Milwaukee
Portland
Salt Lake City
Seattle
Tucson

Winnipeg would have deserved to be on this list a year and a half ago even tho its not in the US.
Apologies, I know I missed some place(s) that is(are) truly deserving (as in "why Tucson?")
