City name on both the East and West Coast

I believe the answer is:

salem

(Other definitions for salem that I've seen before include "Massachusetts city associated with the execution of witches" , "US city" , "New England city, site of 1692 witchcraft trials" , "Place with allegedly wicked females" , "Massachusetts city, scene of witch hunt" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
