I don't know exactly...

I'm four hours from Albuquerque, and Oklahoma City, and like six or seven hours away from Dallas/Fort Worth.

Within a couple hours of driving from Dallas.

There are a lot of ATOTers from CA and Northeast areas.

I guess 250 miles from Chicago, since none of the cities in Iowa count (Des Moines = 200,000, Iowa City = 75,000)? I'm sure most people have heard of these cities though?

Toronto, but I suppose the next closest major city would be, Buffalo? Is that considered a major city? Ottawa, Detroit would be next up on the list.

In order of proximity:

West Palm, then Orlando, then Miami and then Tampa.

But that's if you consider the surrounding area/suburbs. None of those cities are over 400,000 themselves.

....damn I miss living in Denver.

I live in the burbs of Minneapolis, so 0 miles of the Metro area, 25 miles from the city center proper.
