What are all the cities? I can point out some on a map easily, but not others.

I see Seattle, Portland, New York City, Boston, and Chicago for sure. Possibly Pittsburgh, Ann Arbor, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Washington DC, and maybe Springfield Illinois? A bunch of them are hard to tell without the state borders.

Here's an article with a little more detailed plot : LINK

A bunch of of them are college towns, the one in in Illinois is probably due to UIUC, also Penn State in the middle of PA.
