What are the four major cities in the United States?
Chicago, New York and Los Angeles seem like sure bets.
And according to one gentleman on a Barstool Sports Instagram reel, he’s adding Sheboygan.
Why? Well, because of “Home Alone,” of course.
He’s a big fan of John Candy’s character and Kenosha Kickers polka band member — they’re big in Sheboygan, you know.
This isn’t the first time Sheboygan has made an appearance in popular culture of late after being referenced several times on Stephen Colbert’s late-night show and in a State Farm commercial with Caitlin Clark.
The area even got a mention on Jimmy Kimmel.
And back in the 1990s, Sheboygan was even mentioned on the popular medical drama “ER,” with doctor Mark Greene’s in-laws living in Sheboygan.
Other cities mentioned as possibilities included Las Vegas; Austin, Texas; Minneapolis; and Miami.
They just happened to add the “Malibu of the Midwest.”
