I found an extra space after the , and before the state in the city_state column. Problem solved and all is well. Thanks Jeff for taking the time and for your comments.
Two things.
1) The solution to your problem is a good example of why you should not store city and state in the same field.
2) Your classic asp appears to be the beginning of a page that will use user input for city_state? The way you have this coded is wide open to sql injection attack. You should NEVER NEVER NEVER execute inputs from the user, especially on a website!!! You need to parameterize your queries, or even better, use stored procs to retrieve your data.
