In Ohio, the largest city without a Broadway is Parma (7th largest city).

Canton (8th largest) has a Broadway wholly outside its city limits, but it is close enough to be in the Canton mailing address.

Hamilton (10th largest) is the largest non-suburb that unambiguously does not have a Broadway. (I guess that might depend on whether you consider Hamilton a suburb of Cincinnati, which I don't.)

Four of the Top Ten cities in West Virginia have at least one Broadway.  Charleston (#1) and Huntington (#2) don't.  But Parkersburg (#3) makes up for them by having four of them:  Broadway Avenue, Broadway Extension,  Broadway Circle, and the infamous Broadway Alley.

5. Waterbury - yes (Broadway St.)

Each of the five NYC boroughs has a Broadway. The Manhattan one extends into the Bronx (and all the way to Sleepy Hollow). The other three are separate, all significant thoroughfares.

In Wisconsin, Kenosha is the largest city without a Broadway; Milwaukee, Madison, and Green Bay all have them (though the Madison one is mostly in neighboring Monona). You can probably count the number of non-numeric street names in Kenosha on one hand, though.

Yea, Green Bay's Broadway is a major street in their downtown area, running southward into the suburban hinterland.  Appleton's Broadway (Dr) is a fairly important rural section line road, a portion of which was annexed into a city over the past couple of decades.

Jesus, I couldn't have screwed this up any worse if I had been trying to.

In NJ:
Cities with population over 100,000:
Newark - yes
Jersey City - yes, but it's very short and mostly unimportant
Paterson - yes, and it even crosses into Fair Lawn
Elizabeth - yes, but it's two blocks long. Broad Street is the large one

Other important cities
Trenton (capital) - sort of. Google labels one of the walkways of Cadwalader Park as Broadway. Broad Street is the large one
Atlantic City (biggest shore city) - no, but there is a Broad Street
Vineland (largest by area) - yes, but it's one block long
Union City (highest population density) - yes
Camden (biggest in South Jersey) - yes, and it continues into Gloucester City and Brooklawn (as New Broadway)

Would Off Broadway Street count as a Broadway? The other three largest cities in Alabama all contain straight Broadway names (Broadway Streets in Birmingham and Montgomery, Broadway Drive in Mobile).
It's all fun & games until someone summons Cthulhu and brings about the end of the world.

I also collect traffic lights, road signs, fans, and railroad crossing equipment.
