What's the closest major city to where you live that you have never been to?

For me I live in the Indy metro area and I've never been to Cincinnati before, Cincy is only 2 hrs away from me. I've been to the northern burbs, but never to the city proper. This will change this weekend because I have to go there to pick up a package. What are some of you guys example?

[Max Rockatansky]

Somehow I've never been to Eugene despite being all over Oregon.

[ozarkman417]

What would "major" mean in this scenario? Anyway, my answer is probably Memphis.

[Scott5114]

I've never been to Texarkana (227 miles), Shreveport (280 miles), or Houston (395 miles).

[hotdogPi]

Probably Montreal for me.

[thspfc]

St. Louis.

[Ned Weasel]

New Orleans.  Closest I ever got was Laplace, LA.

[CoreySamson]

I've never been to Dallas even though I live in Houston.

[formulanone]

Springfield, Illinois would be the closest city to me which is also over 100K people.

Tuscon, Arizona is the largest and closest US city/metro area which I haven't been to.

Havana, Cuba is a little closer and even bigger, but driving to there is a bit of a nuisance.

[US 89]

Somehow I have never been to Las Vegas, despite having lived in Salt Lake City for the vast majority of my life.

[EpicRoadways]

The closest metro area that I've never been to is La Crosse, WI (230 miles). If that doesn't count as a "major city" then the answer would probably be Des Moines at 310 miles.

Honorable mention goes to Fargo. I've been to neighboring Moorhead, MN several times and finally decided to cross the border just for fun a couple weeks ago.

Overall: Winnipeg

US only: Columbus

What would "major" mean in this scenario? Anyway, my answer is probably Memphis.

This is just my take but I consider anything over 100,000 residents to be a major community.

[corco]

If 100,000 is the threshold then Visalia, California (719 miles - though I have possibly clipped the city limits on SR 99), but I'll be there in three and a half weeks. Once that's done, probably Regina Sask. (1,010 miles).

[dlsterner]

For me (living in central Maryland) the closest "major" city that I have never visited would be Atlantic City NJ.  About 170 miles away, give or take.

(Even though the city itself falls short of the suggested 100,000 population threshold, the metro area is well above that mark, plus it's well known for many reasons)

[Bruce]

Overall: Victoria, BC (60 miles as the crow flies, 100 miles by road and ferry)

US only: Eugene, OR (325 miles)

US major major cities only: San Francisco, CA (850 miles)

[Rothman]

Toronto, just going by distance (I am in Central NY; biggest city in NY I haven't been to is Islip). 

But staying in Lower 48...Winston-Salem, NC.  After that, Decatur or Springfield IL.

[Some one]

Beaumont and Austin.

[idk]

Probably Reno, Nevada 412.73 miles as the crow flies

[sparker]

At 127K as of the last census, Kelowna, BC would be the closest city that would meet the stated criteria.  Been around it via TCH, but never actually made it to that particular town. 

[epzik8]

I think Raleigh, North Carolina.

[DandyDan]

I have never been to Duluth. I have also missed the whole complex of cities from Fond Du Lac to Green Bay (is there a name for that?). When I lived in Omaha, the closest city I missed was Wichita.

[tdindy88]

Charlotte, NC is the closest big city to me I've never been to. Omaha, NE is the next closest.

[NWI_Irish96]

Not sure how you define major city so here are a few options (populations are 2019 est.)

Closest city > 500k: Boston, 963 miles

Closest city > 250k: Cleveland, 325 miles

Closest city > 100k: Peoria, 154 miles

[STLmapboy]

St. Louis.

Hi! 
For me it's Indianapolis, ~225 miles.
