| I realize 'small' and 'nearby' are relative terms, but really... 8 of these 'small' cities have populations of at least 100,000. 4 are among the 100 largest US Cities, with populations exceeding 250,000. As indicated above, Albany is not 'nearby' NYC; and Ann Arbor is roughly 45 miles from Detroit (or, if you prefer, "Ann Arbour" is 75 km away from Detroit). |
