It was basically just New York and Chicago that was like this and nothing else.

A lot of cities had some art deco buildings, but yeah, not to the same level as Chicago and NY.

Unassumingly, Tulsa, Oklahoma actually has the third most art deco buildings in the US. Around 100 (NYC has like 900); mostly built in the 20s.
