U.S. Cities Bigger than their Capital

There are quite a lot U.S. cities that are bigger than their state capital. How many can you name?
Inspired by Jiaozira's Quiz
Those with less than 50,000 inhabitants are marked in red, those with less than 20,000 you get for free
Kentuckians, Missourians and especially Washingtonians may have a small advantage :)
NJ Townships aren't included!
