To the best of my knowledge, I already have NYC, NY, and New York City as answers, but I submit to thine desire, good sir.

Charlestown is the original name of Charleston, you are correct, I'll edit that. As for Murfreesboro, what other spellings do you suggest?

I didn't even know there WERE that many cities in Rhode Island. Especially since none of the ones on the states' quiz worked.

I'm happy to see this quiz has yet to have anyone get a perfect score; I rue the day someone taints it.

New Haven was co-capital of Connecticut with Hartford from 1701 to 1875. (I was taught 1873 in school, but the Internet disagrees.) So you could add that. :)
