And I can't believe no one mentioned Hollywood, FL.
There's also Hollywood, AL, which I can't believe I forgot because it has the only 2t22 siren in my area.

True there is a Hollywood, CA and Hollywood, FL

there are 2 Brentwood, CA's One as a Los Angeles District where UCLA is Located and  Brentwood Contra Costa County.


I feel like I should also mention that Hollywood, AL was also the first town to bear the name "Hollywood" in the US.

Seems there's a "Greenville" in several states: South Carolina's is the largest, by far. Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, Virginia, Texas, Ohio, Illinois, and Kentucky each have one as well.

Nobody mentioned Boston, PA and Boston, MA?  Shame.  SHAME!

There's one in Georgia, too.

There is also a Greenville, IN, along with a Greenwood, Greencastle, Greenfield, and a Greensburg, none of which are in Greene County.

Well, because Hollywood, CA isn't a city.   :D
Yeah just like Staten Island is not a city, but given their size and popularity in many people's mind they are both independent places.  I think we can let this one pass.
Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

If you really want to have fun, how about Interstate or US routes that pass through cities with the same name in different states -- not counting border towns like Kansas City, Bristol or Texarkana:

-  US-50 passes through both Delta, Colorado and Delta, Utah (a distance of 317 miles between the two towns).

Others???

I-91 passes through Springfield, MA and Springfield, VT. They're 81 air miles apart. Springfield, VT only has 9,373 people though (the other has 153,060).

P.S. It almost happens a second time. I-91 passes through both Wethersfield, CT and Weathersfield, VT.

Something that amuses me is the number of places in Kentucky and West Virginia that share names with their mother state, Virginia.

Lexington, Danville and Ashland are three that I can readily think of in Kentucky. There's also a Roanoke in West Virginia.

West Virginia and Virginia share a Bluefield (quasi-twin cities), a Williamsburg (the WV one is a wide spot in the road in Greenbrier County), a Chesapeake (the WV one is a suburb of Charleston, named for the C&O Railroad, as is the Huntington suburb of Huntington, Chesapeake, Ohio), a Franklin, a Danville, a Salem (the WV one is home to one of the multiple Salem Colleges around the country, near Clarksburg), a Petersburg (the WV one is in Corridor H country) and a Herndon (the WV one is a nearly dead coal camp in Wyoming County).  There is also a New Richmond in Wyoming County and a New Martinsville in Wetzel County).   WV also has an Oak Hill, while Virginia has an Oak Hill Academy which is one of those military schools that kids get sent to. 

Off topic, but confusingly  there is a Blue Ridge Community College in Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina.  All unrelated.  Virginia also has a Southwest Virginia CC, while WV has Southern West Virginia CC.
