Name a city or town in the U.S. or Canada and any fact about it. Could be a nickname, a building, street, highway, river, famous resident, historical fact - anything that it is known for or is in it.
Note - Q, X and Z - for these letters you may use the name of a city that has one of these letters in it or skip that letter.
I'll start with:
