Pittsburg
Midwestern college town
Pittsburg, without the H, is a city in Kansas and also one in California, among other smaller American towns.
The spelling reflects an 1890 federal decision to standardize place names ending in -burgh to -burg, though Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania later lobbied successfully to restore its H.
I grew up in Pittsburg, Kansas, not the one in Pennsylvania. (Pittsburgh with an H is the major Pennsylvania city.)
