Waldo points us to this interesting MeFi question, which seems to indicate that just about every town in America developed an urban legend revolving around the claim that they were #2 on the Soviet nuke target list.
My favorite answer:
The real answer is that everybody was probably correct. US policy was to have enough weapons to bomb every Soviet city and town several times over; the Soviet policy was probably similar. First wave takes out Washington (Command), major hub cities (Control and Communication), and any crucial intelligence gathering/analysis sites (Intelligence). Second wave (which is really kind of wave 1A) takes out immediate war-fighting capability such as military bases, third wave takes out everything else as does the fourth wave and the fifth wave. Sixth, seventh, and eighth waves pound the rubble (or ruble). Ninth wave is to satisfy that anal-retentive general in the Supply Corps.
