Sure things will have different names but basically they will be the same. I'd much rather go places that are drastically different. Half the fun of travelling is seeing things you have never seen before and might not ever see again. That includes hearing foreign languages and trying exotic cuisine. You cannot get those things by visiting a bunch of small towns in America.
Guess you've never been to a small town in New Mexico called Carlsbad - there's a hell of a hole down there -

or to Wall, SD - home of the world's largest drug store and... the Bad Lands - closest you'll ever get to walking on what could be the moon or another world. One of the most eerie, and beautiful places on earth - also one of the most desolate.

Or drive a short distance to the west of Wall to Rapid City, home of Mt. Rushmore. There's sculpture.... and then there is sculpture.

Everyone talks about Vegas but have you ever visited Branson, MO. Shows that might make Vegas blush with envy.

You can vist DC and tour the Smithsonian, the Air & Space Museum is the best in the world if you're into airplanes but... If you ever vist Liberal, KS check out there aviation museum - not the Smithsonian but on a par with it.

You say when you see one town you've seen them all - not in a hundred years. A person could never live long enough to actually see this country.
