There is a very defensible alternative major city (google is your friend here). But sometimes you just have to go with the reasonable-solver constraint.

Solved both. But no nudges needed on this one. Thanks, Matt for an extra puzzle this week.

Very nice reveal, @Bird Lives! I solved this one, but didn't notice until I saw Matt's reveal and now yours that the ARCHes symmetrically form an ARCH over the GATEWAY. A very nice touch.
