Did you count Salem? I thought that came from (Jeru)- which would make it overt religious propaganda too :p

I got San Bernadino from the Frank Zappa song("Oh Bobby! I'm really sorry you've got a head like potato.") and Sioux Falls from watching the second season of Fargo.

Missed Shreveport. Got the Phoenix suburb thanks to South Park, the goth kids named it as the worst place on Earth I think.
