Major cities?

There are only a handful of "major cities"

The huge 3:
New York
Chicago
Los Angeles

Other large cities/metro areas from east to west:
Boston
Philadelphia
Washington, DC/Baltimore, MD
Atlanta
Miami/Ft. Lauderdale
Detroit
Minneapolis/St. Paul
St. Louis
Houston
Dallas/Ft. Worth
Denver
Phoenix
San Diego/Orange County
San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose
Seattle

Honorable mention: Pittsburgh and Cleveland could make the list by MSA population.

Memphis, Cincy, Nashville, New Orleans, Orlando, Tampa, Austin, San Antonio, Kansas City, Columbus, Charlotte, Raleigh, Buffalo, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Portland, Oklahoma City, Pittsburgh, Cleveland are NOT major cities.

Maybe I'm naive, but I don't see how a list of major cities in the country doesn't include Houston or Dallas.

They are 4 and 5 in largest metro areas right behind those places though. I just don't cap my huge cities at 3 I guess.

It's common knowledge that after Chicago, New York, and L.A. there's a huge dropoff.
