A visit to Wikipedia, prompted by rockinrichard above (thanks!), shows me that the New York town of Hempstead (not all that far from me) would be one of the most populous cities in the entire country ... if it weren't a town. Interesting (if true)!

In 1980, they merged their two police forces together and called it the "Twin Cities Police Dept." But my town was and is officially a "city" and the other one a "town."

"If there was no Indiana," he said, "Ohio and Illinois would collapse into the earth." We spent more time in Indiana (southern Indiana, anyway) picking on Kentuckians instead of Buckeyes. I'm not sure if it was because the Kentuckians were an easier target or a greater challenge...

Previously, Anderson directed Cooper and Charlton Heston in THE WRECK OF THE MARY DEARE. WRECK is not entirely good but it shows the actors in good form and has flair to spare.WRECK was to be made by Alfred Hitchcock but he left after not being able to resolve the storyline to his liking. When or if you see the movie, you'll see why Alfred made NORTH BY NORTHWEST instead. Still, I think we missed out on seeing Cooper or Heston in a Hitchcock movie. Hitch knew how to direct Movie Stars. If you like Gary Cooper, he made some of his best Westerns in the 1950s. I'd check out VERE CRUZ, MAN OF THE WEST, SPRINGFIELD RIFLE and GARDEN OF EVIL.

Although Fort Worth is a city (pop. 736,200), it is fairly easy to get around in and you can usually get almost anywhere you want to be in about 15 minutes. Also, you are always meeting people who either know, personally, someone you know or who know about someone you know. I think of Fort Worth as a city that feels like a town. In contrast is Dallas (pop. 1,316,350) just 30 miles away where it can take an hour to drive a few miles and no one seems to know anyone else. Dallas is a city that feels like a metropolis.
