As far as I know, the city I live in, Round Rock, Texas has Adelaide, South Australia (where a dear friend of mine lives), as a sister city, not sure about Austin though, or if RR has more than the one?

Antibes-Juan Les Pins is twinned with a few cities, but the only one I can remember off hand is Newport Beach, California. There's one in Germany as well.

Quoting AR1300 (Reply 1): I think I saw some add with flags on it at ORD talking about something like that.
You're right. I remember going from T1 to T2 the flags are above the windows from which people can view the E gates, just in front of the Air Canada gates.
N1120 gave these as sister cities to L.A. and/or New Orleans. LY7E7 gave the last one as one to Tel Aviv. These, I believe, are also sister cities to Chicago that are listed on those banners that AR1300 mentioned.

According to Wikipedia, Raleigh NC is a sister city to Rostock Germany, Hull England, Kolomna Russia, and Compiègne France...though out of those 4 I had only ever heard of the affiliation with Rostock. Come to think of it, out of those 4 Rostock is the only city I've ever even heard of in the first place. Strange.
