Cities mentioned in Prince songs

Let's get this list going... and let us know if your city has been mentioned. I live in Boston now, which has never been mentioned in a Prince track (AFAIK), but I used to live in:

Glasgow - "We just got back from Glasgow", The Good Life (Big City Remix)

Your turn. City, quote, song title.

Minnapolis-

Undisputed (Moneyapolis Mix)-

"Who's that brushin' they teeth in the bathroom,
slender, fine and black? Never she mind what U do, in Moneyapolis I'm the MACK."

Rock N' Roll is Alive! (And it lives in Minnapolis)


Days of Wild (Live Crystal Ball version)-

"Minneapolis, can U do me a favor?
I need 2 hear your voices 2night
I wanna check my choir
I want everybody in this whole building
'Free the slave' "

1+1+1=3-

"But should I keep this party going? (Brotha, U know that)

Moneyapolis, sing: Rainbow Children, raise your hand
If we can't do it, nobody can!"

Everlasting Now (ONA:live)-

"Hit me band! E-ver-las-ting now!
I'm from Minneapolis, I don't play that.."


I'm sure there is more....
