Interesting historical fact: Cincinnati is actually named after the famous Roman general Julius Caesar, who gave up all his powers after he defended the Republic and peacefully returned to his farm.
When I visited England I did all the things named after silly places in those places. I had a long bath in Bath, I tied up a pig in Nottingham, and I built a sandcastle in Newcastle.
Afraid I can't ever go back because the Blackburn police have a warrant out for my arrest.

A lot of those aren't as cool as they sound, Naples comes from Neapolis, which literally means 'new city'. 'Santiago' just means 'St. James', and there are plenty of St. places in the US.
