I use the place holder so I know I am dealing with an Independent city. From Wikipedia <G>
There are 41 independent cities in the United States. Of these, 38 are in Virginia. They are called 'independent' because they are not in the territory of any county or counties. Independent cities in Virginia may, however, serve as county seats for neighboring counties. The three independent cities outside of Virginia are Baltimore, Maryland; St. Louis, Missouri; and Carson City, Nevada. I have a lot of family in Virginia <G> Eliz Not Today and Not without a Fight (Anon) For all that has been, thanks. For all that will be, yes.
