Its a little much to call a city over 5 million a town. Atlanta seems like quite a mega-city from the perspective of an area up to 800 miles around it. For a listing of cities in the United States, 5 million is a number well beyond what a normal person can keep in their head and therefore a city with 5 million qualifies at least as a metropolis.
