Closed Nashville to Norway

[Jacqueline Hyde]

I'm thinking of an American city (by which I mean a city in the United States). No, it is not actually Nashville. (Nor Oahu.)

Rules, stolen from @Chase (that's what we VILEs do, you know):

• You have 11 questions (in total, not each).
• They must all be yes/no questions.
• First correct answer closes the game.
• If the game hits 11 questions with no correct answer, the game also closes.

Reminders, also stolen from @Chase:

• Anyone can make a guessing game. When posting, change the 'thread' type to 'question'
• If you already have points, try asking questions to help other players
