Talked about an American city (7)

I believe the answer is:

spokane

'american city' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'talked about an' is the wordplay.
'talked' becomes 'spoke' ('speak' can be a synonym of 'talk').
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'spoke' going around 'an' is 'SPOKANE'.

(Another definition for spokane that I've seen is " American city".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
