Well, I'm slightly more than 1000 miles (I live in Ottawa 
Canada), and the only one on your list that I've heard of 
is the Golden Gate Bridge.

The City itself is famous as the "City of Love".  I suspect 
that every city calls itself the ___ city or the city of ___.

The only US cities that I can give even that much info on 
is LA and the Big Apple.

Silicon Valley is certainly famous enough, but I work in 
high Tech, and I can't even list which major companies are
Headquartered there.

The big problem with Cliomancy, as I see it, is that the 
whole "famous" issue is VERY subjective (and more than a 
little American-centric).

I doubt that there is a single site in Canada that an 
average man-on-the-street in the US could successfully 
identify.
