Northeast Memphis has an area called Raleigh, I'm unsure if its officially incorporated though - but its a probably got some 20-30,000 people.

Raleigh, TN, was never incorporated and was annexed by Memphis 25 years ago. It's now become a suburban slum.

Ron,

heard there was a cardgame between two Yankee traders out there to determine what dudes hometown would have its name adopted by that outpost. Always wondered if this was true or not. Lucky for us the Maine man won, Boston Oregon would be a little strange, Portland the big CITY is always oregon, while Maine has the smaller town of Portland, two large Bostons on both coasts (as well as in England) would be a little confusing. ;)

Pittsburg would have been a good name for the settlement, but alas a town in Oregon already wanted to be like us :D wonder if that involved a cardgame with someone from Cleveland? :lol:
