Lisbon: Just Not the One You’re Thinking About

I just went to Lisbon, the one you are thinking about.

I walked the narrow streets, climbed the endless hills, and took in the striking views.

I strolled along the River Tagus, ate pastel de nata, and choked down sardines.

Along the way, I learned a tiny bit of Portuguese.

Unfortunately, upon my return to the US, I looked at my damn blog and realized it clearly says I write about the US.

To make matters worse, on the About page, it indicates that I obsess about no-name locales.

As such, I’m left with no choice but to tell you about the places called Lisbon in the US. (Plus I might have accidentally just talked about the actual Lisbon in another blog post.)

Anyway, we’ll make it quick, with no guarantees that this list is comprehensive. Many of these spots were named after the one in Portugal. If meaningful information could be found, it is included.
