Where can I get the latitude and longitude of my city?

On great place is over at the US Geological Survey GNIS Online Geographic Data Base. If you type in your city name, and the state, it will return with the number of hits that it finds with the same name in your state including landmarks, mountains, rivers etc. It's a lot of fun to use!
