Sort By Select Field

I created a select custom field. Each post has multiple cities in the field. I’m trying to run the following query below but it’s not working.

I set it up in the Choices box as cincinnati : Cincinnati

$args = array(
	'numberposts'	=> -1,
	'post_type'		=> 'post',
	'meta_key'		=> 'city',
	'meta_value'	=> 'cincinnati'
);

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I assume maybe it’s due to multiple values? If so what is the way around this?

I was able to solve this myself.

$location = $_GET["location"];

$args = array(
'numberposts'   => -1,
'post_type'     => 'post',
'meta_query'    => array(
    array(
        'key'       => 'city',
        'value'     => ''.$location.'',
        'compare'   => 'LIKE',
    )
)
);
