I am not sure if this has been tried in the past but I thought I would give it a go. It would be neat to see how many of us are within close proximity.

So, what city are you from?

Me. Pittsburgh, PA.

Solon, Maine. Hardly a city. It has a few houses around a crossroads and two small stores, one of which survives mainly on the revenue from fuel sales, since they carry nothing but fast-food items.
