	1970 was a very interesting census year. The manufacturing belt began taking a nose-dive in population, while Southern and Western cities started expanding very rapidly. Enjoy!

	Detroit in 2005 fell below a million and San Jose began to take over.

	Not as interesting as, say, 1900, but still cool. That "other" city really stumped me.

	Cities that are in warm climates have boomed in population the last 40 years. Also no suprise crime-ridden places like St. Louis and Detroit keep plummeting in population.

	I couldn't spell Wichita if my life depended on it.

	Las Vegas was still something of an oddity in 1970. It wasn't the tourist destination or population center that it has become since. It's population then was probably 100,000 maybe 120,000

	Not sure if it matters for this quiz, but San Juan (Puerto Rico) always seems left out.
