58 Cities in by my count. Originally I said I had 61, but I counted Philadelphia twice by mistake and included two neighborhoods.
*In the Rolling Stones' version of Route 66, Mick Jagger omits "Joplin, Missouri" and instead sing "Down to Missouri." It's also questionable if Jagger actually articulated the cities of Winona and Kingman.
** Collinwood is not a city but a neighborhood on the Cleveland's east side, so by technicality we have to exclude it from the count total.
*** Waikiki is also a neighborhood and not a city.
**** Nome, Alaska did not make the initial tally until after the broadcast.
