Hi there,
I'm looking for a list of major USA cities, coastal and non-touristic.

If I could even just get a list of the major cities it would be great,
the catch, it has to come from a reputable source (aka. gov site,
university, journal...).

benefitsbenefits-ga,

What more reputable source than the official US Census Bureau?


Here is a site where you can download a list of all major US cities,
ranked by population:


http://www.census.gov/popest/cities/


In the pull-down menu that says "Choose a popular table", just select
the table for "Places over 100,000..." and you'll have your list of
all US cities with a population of 100,000 or more.


I trust that's what you needed.  

But if I misconstrued your question at all, just let me know by
posting a Request for Clarification, and I'll be happy to assist you
further.

Cheers,

do you know where I could find names of non-touristic cities (or
cities that are not major tourist attractions)?  I guess all cities
thrive for tourism in some way...not sure if it's even possible to
find this kind of list...

bb-ga,

Here's the same list as before, except that I've marked cities with an
asterisk (*) if -- from my experience -- I would consider them to be
substantial tourist cities.  Of course, other opinions may differ, but
for the most part, the un-asterisked cities are the ones you're
looking for.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you,
