I have never heard that and seems to be a stretch to which I cannot see a reason for it not to be Jerusalem. True, it occcured just outside the city limits, but still was considered Jerusalems crucificion place, right?

I think the city here is speaking of modern day Jerusalem. It spiritually is just like Sodom and Egypt today. It is filled with sinners, unbelievers and endless various types of faiths today. It fits the description to the "T" today!
