Make an exiting field a SELECT DROP DOWN box

Hi,

 Is there a way, via admin\code, to make an exiting field (City) instead of a free-text value a SELECT DROP DOWN box?

Not by admin, but I am sure an extension and a bit of jQuery could do the trick.  That is a fairly well documented way to adjust the UI - I guess the only issue would be correctly identifying all instances of the city field.  Not sure what CiviCRM's form CSS looks like these days but with a bit of luck, that isn't too hard.
