Coolest City Names

This weekend my friend and I debated (demolished) someone's argument that Houston was a cooler city name than Brooklyn.

Brooklyn might be the coolest city name in the world (well, it's a "borough" I guess but screw it, it gets a pass). Possibly the known universe, and I dare say even the unknown universe. It's Brooklyn. It sounds cool and tough and all other manner of positive adjectives. On top of that, it's a part of New York, which runs a very, very close second.

Houston sounds like the last name of a football coach who still runs a wishbone offense. It's not even close.

What say you?

Climax Minnesota is pretty cool. It's near Cummings

Oh dear God... that easily cracks the top 5. Outstanding...

Although natives who leave either city surely must endure the same jokes when they tell anyone where they're from.

"I'm from Cummings/Climax."
"Aren't we all?"

Well, since you broke the seal, I'll go ahead and include Compton, California.

Naturally...
