    St. Louis, MO
    Lincoln, NE
    Toledo, OH
    Fort Wayne, IN
    Laredo, TX

    This is of course not the same as being a non-suburb: St. Paul and Winston-Salem are not considered suburbs of their larger neighbors (thanks commenters) and conversely Hamilton, NJ is generally considered to be a suburb of Trenton despite having more people. However, the above is easy to check, while somewhere being a suburb is more subjective.

      ​@Lucas Armitage San Jose is the 10th largest city in America. It's bigger than 173 (95%) of the 182 cities he named. In fact, if the makers of this map game updated its population data, they'd have to expand the list of cities over 1 million from 9 to 10 specifically to include San Jose. It is home to Cisco, PayPal, eBay, and Adobe, some of the most influential tech companies in the world.
      I would describe "headquarters of the companies that make the Internet work" as extremely relevant to basically everyone. Certainly everyone who uses TH-cam. This comment probably passed through a hundred discrete pieces of Cisco equipment on its way from my keyboard to your screen, for example. By any definition of relevance that could plausibly exclude San Jose, _every_ city is irrelevant to most people.
