There are quite a few, including foreign cities such as Warsaw, but the two most prominent ones in the U.S. are Phoenix AZ and Atlanta GA, both residing on the 33rd parallel. Are you familiar with the double-headed phoenix of Scottish Rite Freemasonry, with one head looking westward towards Arizona, the other eastward toward Atlanta, Georgia?
This is the cover of Morals and Dogma by Albert Pike.

Note the pyramid/triangle with the 33 inside it, and the rays emanating. Phoenix AZ is dubbed the "valley of the sun". The phoenix bird is associated with Ra, the sun god of the Egyptians, whose cult was centered in Heliopolis, the "city of the sun," where there was a temple dedicated in his honor.
Notice also where it says in Latin: "Order out of Chaos". This is the motto of the New World Order. Build their "Novus Ordo Seclorum" (inscribed beneath the pyramid on the back of the dollar bill) upon the ashes of the old. This was all laid out ritually at the closing ceremonies of the London 2012 games, where the actors on stage built a pyramid, bowing down to it, concluding the ceremony with the immolation of a 70-foot wide phoenix as the band "Take That" sang their song entitled: Rule the World.

Other phoenix cities:
San Francisco, CA
Portland, ME
Phoenixville, PA
Springfield, U.S.A. (from The Simpsons cartoon show)
and a host of smaller, relatively unknown towns.
