Using word play, I've 'hidden' a one-word American city in a sentence. The clues will consist of two or more consecutive words, and a hint to the city's home state will be provided. I've included an example before Question one. Have fun!

I'll give a brief description of a situation, and a hint to a 'clue' word that, when divided into two separate words, will relate to that situation. The 'clue' word will be the answer. Have fun!
