To be fair, do you ever see anything from Kentucky in the news? Besides college basketball

I would bet frankfort is one of the most missed jeopardy questions there is. Seems like i have seen it several times.
However, at 25,000 people it doesnt qualify for this thread

I felt the same way driving through upstate NY last summer. We went through Albany, Schenectady, Syracuse, Utica, Rome, Rochester, and Buffalo.
Buffalo being about the most famous one of those but I thought it really strange. Those combined cities span across the entire upstate portion of NY and are surprisingly lage, and it’s almost as if they don’t exist...

If you told people to list the top 5 US cities by population not many would list Phoenix.
Of course city population is different than metro population. I like going by metro population because you get a better feel of how many people really live there.

I havent been there, but my uncle has lived in that area for 30 years. He was in town last weekend and was bitching about the growth since he moved there.

Tampa-St Pete-Clearwater - 3.03 million people
Has to be the largest place that nobody thinks about as a big city.

Good list, had no idea milwaukee had 1.6M in the area. Only other city I can think of besides the ones you mentioned is Columbus OH at 860K

Houston is a bigger city but Dallas has a bigger metro population. Nice rivalry there.
Houston will most likely pass Chicago in the next decade and become the 3rd largest city.

City pop is dumb. Not a good metric
Metro gives the bigger picture.
Example: shreveport, 200K
Metro 375K
And the demographics improve 10 fold.

Norfolk/Virginia Beach metro has over 1.5M

That’s actually really surprising. Would not have figured that.

Same as baton rougeish?
If this question was asked on an ohio state forum, i bet baton rouge would make the list.

San Antonio is the 7th largest city and 24th largest metro in the nation. People in this thread suggest that’s ‘not very big?’ It’s in one of the fastest growing areas of the country.
El Paso shouldn’t really be a secret. It’s always been a massive international crossing.
Austin is talked about, but to think it’s the 11th largest city in the country now is insane. Go back to the 1970 census and see that it’s smaller than Akron, Tulsa, Birmingham, Rochester, Honolulu. Crazy.
To answer OP. Fort Worth isn’t really a common city brought up, and it’s 16th largest in the nation at around 850k.
