	bethesda and north bethesda are unincorporated districts, not cities

	Koltrane:	Mar 2nd, 2010 at 22:48 GMT	11 points
	Wow! Annapolis has less than 38,000 people? Hard to believe, but I checked and it's true.

	TheGreatZo:	Mar 2nd, 2010 at 22:54 GMT	16 points
	Using unincorporated CDPs in a quiz like this is illogical and incorrect.

	As of the 538 times this quiz has been taken, Bethesda is 100%?!?!?!?

	habcous:	Mar 2nd, 2010 at 22:56 GMT	2 points
	The scoring is messed up. The percentiles add up to way over 100%.

	WOOO MD!

	My hometown is on here!

	Challenging! I tried Hagerstown, Salisbury, Annapolis, Cumberland, and got nothing. I had to rack my brain for Baltimore & DC suburbs. And then College Park didn't make the list, either!

	Incredibly challenging (but fun anyway) for someone who has absolutely no idea of Maryland geography at all beyond Baltimore and the fact that DC is inside Maryland. I got two (yay for there actually being a place called potomac)!

	In keeping with the naming pattern, this quiz should be called "Maryland Cities," just like all of the other state city quizzes.

	ef232623:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 01:21 GMT	4 points
	Hagerstown has almost 40,000 people. It should be listed here.

	tgrote:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 01:46 GMT	1 point
	Bel Air is actually Bel Air South. Bel Air North has something like 30,000 people. So even though the census acknowledges two Bel Airs, we residents all combine North and South into one and put simply Bel Air, MD as our address. Never made sense to me. Added together, we would be a top 5 populated "city" in Maryland.

	@Golden: When did Maryland get hungry and eat D.C.? And will D.C. ever come back out?

	The Wire did not help me.

	xander:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 04:43 GMT	6 points
	@Esme it was a couple of years ago, back around the same time when North Bethesda finally won it's independence from the hated south and central bethesdans

	what kind of state has a capital with less people than the 20th most populated city? they should just change it to a different city...for sporcle's sake

	JOldewurtel:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 08:33 GMT	6 points
	I am sorry. I live in Maryland and I can't consider Dundalk or Essex 'cities', or really even Catonsville. You can call it a CDP, but I'm going to call it a 'town' or a 'community.'

	shadowscookie:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 12:15 GMT	1 point
	Where is Hagerstown? Either way, challenging and a good quiz.

	America:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 12:52 GMT	3 points
	@shadowscookie: Hagerstown is in Washington County (somewhere between Frederick and Cumberland if that helps).

	johnlk:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 13:13 GMT	5 points
	Of these, only Baltimore, Frederick, Gaithersburg, Bowie, and Rockville are proper incorporated cities (Bel Air is an incorporated town, but the population total given here seems to included surrounding unincorporated areas). Maryland isn't big on incorporating municipalities, because county government performs pretty much all the functions of a local government. I think it's reasonable to include or exclude the CDPs, as long as one is consistent about it.

	Milhouse: Krusty trading cards. The long-awaited "Eight Series". Bart: [reading the cards] "Krusty visits relatives in Annapolis, Maryland.... Krusty poses for trading card photo." Milhouse: Hmm...he seems to be running a little low on ideas.

	east coast bias strikes again

	The only reason I knew Towson was because Elaine Benes was apparently from Towson, as mentioned in an episode of Seinfeld where Lippman calls her out as an Orioles fan.

	Tex17:	Mar 3rd, 2010 at 20:00 GMT	17 points
	Wow, so Maryland basically has just one big city, and then a bunch of towns.

	acroarcs:	Mar 4th, 2010 at 00:38 GMT	8 points
	Well, one big city and then a bunch of amorphous blobs of people surrounding it and the other big city just outside the state. And maybe a few towns. Sort of.

	btroup1:	Mar 4th, 2010 at 02:04 GMT	6 points
	acroarcs put it accurately. Sprawl makes this one tricky. Where does Annapolis end and Edgewater begin? Same with Hyattsville and College Park. Really it's not a series of towns, but a whole bunch of burbs that do quite well to create a sea of red lights at rush hour.

	Hometown North Bethesda!
