	haha my towns on here! weird & unexpected!

	I swear Sporcle is going to drive me to drink or memorize any town of significant size in Massachusetts...probably both. Give me 20 years and I never would have come up with the 88K city in New York.

	I clearly cannot list enough city names in states east of the Mississippi.

	@Pogues - I was thinking the same thing about Ohio!

	I can't believe I missed Lynn, MA. Lynn is my name. Lynn, MA has big trash cans on the streets and they're stenciled with "KEEP LYNN CLEAN". The last time I was there I stood inside one to have my picture taken.

	MA, NJ, and upstate NY, you are the scourge of my soul!

	The worst part is I knew what Schenectady was, but couldn't spell it to save my life.

	"In 1920." Not "Since 1920."

	Lol'ing at all the people struggling with Massachusetts, guess it helps to live in one of the least guessed cities and live 10 min away from another.

	And apparently 66% of people taking this quiz don't watch The Office.

	I got Schenectady?!! but missed some 'easy' ones like Peoria, Duluth and Camden?! argh! and I'm Canadian.....

	it's astounding that so many actually named all 100. Great quiz.

	Darn, I even tried Schenectady, but got the spelling wrong. Still surprised it's on here.

	rgc1600:	Feb 26th, 2011 at 20:41 GMT		7 points
	Ok. I feel really stupid now. It only took me three hours to realize the quiz said "in 1920" and not "since 1920." I deserve that -5 points, whatever that means.

	cobber2014:	Feb 26th, 2011 at 22:11 GMT		14 points
	I swear I tried to use Gary as an answer at least 5 times.

	I spent 4 years in Schenectady one weekend. Simply unforgettable.

	Buffalo was over three times the size of Dallas in 1920...nuts

	ShortyNJ:	Feb 27th, 2011 at 00:47 GMT		7 points
	What I find interesting is the change since 1920. Two of today's 10 largest cities didn't make the top 100 just ninety years ago.

	Got Schenectady, missed Albany, Syracuse, Rochester...

	Roman:	Feb 27th, 2011 at 17:20 GMT		6 points
	EmYanks Buffalo is STILL on the TOP 100 just in the 70s somewhere. Calling it a ghost town is not fair

	Dralcoffin:	Feb 27th, 2011 at 19:25 GMT		1 point
	Of the eleven biggest cities, only New York and Los Angeles have more people today. The other nine have all dipped below their 1920 numbers...

	Manchvegas, represent! (yes, that's what we Manchester residents actually call our city)

	1styr:	Feb 27th, 2011 at 20:42 GMT		1 point
	yeah, there are almost 20,000 municipalities in the US and Buffalo ranks 70 in population.
