My son (who starts yeshiva late today) guesses the following:

Yerushalayim - beis hamikdash
Chevron - maarat hamachpela
Teveria - many Tanaim and Amoraim are buried there

Shilo had the mishkan, but that was temporary. Just a guess.

If Teveria because of the Tannaim/Amoraim, then why not Yavne also? (Ancient Yavne, at the very least.)

Ohrid, macedonia
Avignon, France
Aix en Provence, France

More jokingly people refer as making alia to Parisian area, France, or to Créteil, France (from OOT or province).

I heard Créteil, France referred to as the little Netania LOL

Hey, Ruchel, I completely forgot about this thread when I mentioned how some cities were called the Yerushalyim d'whatever country (I was thinking America) in the last century.
