Dundee in Scotland! Famous for Jute, Jam and Journalism - jute, a huge trade for the city at the time of the industrial revolution - the jam refers to marmalade which was supposedly invented in the city. Actually recipes exist from centuries earlier, but Keiller's of Dundee were the first to mass market it. Journalism - refers to the publishing firm DC Thomson which remains a big employer at the present day.

Evanston Illinois! Home of Northwestern University and beside Lake Michigan.

Evanston was "dry" until 1972 so all the college students had to "cross the border" into the neighboring city of Chicago if they wanted booze.

(And a town I would love to live in!)

Norman, Oklahoma....nice college town, home to the University of Oklahoma...not far from the capital of Oklahoma City.

I was stationed in Norman exactly 50 years ago when the Navy had an Electronics prep school there. I remember going to Okie City on Liberty when it was the wet-est dry city in America. The Black Hotel sold more hard stuff than any other single place in America at the time. The only legal stuff
was 3/2 beer.

This was not a result of you being stationed there, was it?

Innsbruck is a state capital city in Austria and hosted the 1976 Winter Olympics. There really is a river called Inn! So the city gets its name from the German words for the bridge over the Inn. It is famous for winter sports but also for hiking in the mountains.

Here's a beautiful picture from Wikipedia.
