	This is so weird... Just this afternoon I was checking the North Carolina wikipedia page... otherwise I would have known only two (I'm European, if anyone may find the last sentences strange)

	I've lived in North Carolina my whole life and I only got 8... I know more, but I just couldn't think of them... Lame...

	I am embarrassed, I've lived in NC my whole life (19 years) and only got 10 :( epic failed spelling "fayetteville" and guessed a lot of cities that aren't in the top 20 lol, I do agree with kinskey normally...except when it is my state they are doing.

	"Today, we at Sporcle pay tribute to North Carolina, the home of great basketball, fine tobacco and Soupy Sales." -- No, don't mention Krispy Kreme or The Andy Griffith Show...

	Thanks to March Madness and all the UNC state school I think people do suprisingly well on this quiz

	Top seven+Kannapolis=Thank God for somehow knowing Dale Earnhardt's hometown.

	Arthur:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 18:16 GMT	1 point
	Yessss my state finally!

	y2jdilemma:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 18:23 GMT	3 points
	Strangely, I did pretty well on this one, compared to the others. Despite having only ever stopped over in Charlotte once during a trip, and spending a night in Hickory, NC on my way to Atlanta. And Hickory wasnt even on here.

	Fun fact [er..at any rate, Fact.]: Gastonia is also the name of a spikey dinosaur! (this is all I can reasonably contribute to this game)

	I've lived in NC for 20 years and I only got 12, loooking over the answers I know all of them except huntersville

	RyanUR:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 18:38 GMT	16 points
	I feel like this is the first state where you don't really have to know suburbs. The only ones that can be considered as such are Cary and Huntersville. You're actually required to know cities that are cities unto themselves. Excellent.

	Visited NC once so that helped this European get 11. Fantastic seashore at Cape Hatteras, the BLueridge mts. and above all hospitable people everywhere made North Carolina (and its Southern cousin) a memorable place for me.

	Oh my god how did I miss Charlotte? Oh yeah, every time I tried to think of another city I got James Brown in my head saying "Raleigh North Carolina"

	Been waiting on this one for a while. I like these quizzes.

	I live in Greenville which helped me get that one, it's always funny to me though how much people don't even know of the Greenville in NC despite us having the second largest University in NC. I know that's the way it is, and I'm not complaining, just making an obeservation. Anyway, love the quiz just because it's NC.

	Hmmm, I think I must've known Kannapolis in my deep subconscious, since for some reason "Kennebunkport" kept popping into my head.

	MovieDynamic:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 20:54 GMT	3 points
	I went here one summer long ago and I really liked it. It's a nice place.

	mjenks:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 21:26 GMT	4 points
	@ Deadpool People probably confuse it with Greensboro. And it gets overshadowed by Charlotte and Raleigh, plus ECU isn't in a BCS conference. All of those things make a perfect limbo confluence for Greenville.

	Morbo:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 21:26 GMT	6 points
	Among those just missing the cut: Mount Pilot, Mayberry and South of the Border. Pedro weeps.

	Handle1:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 22:53 GMT	0 points
	As a North Carolina resident, I still missed four. It's kind of sad.

	bobc:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 23:40 GMT	5 points
	Ernest, South of the Border is in South Carolina. South of the border with NC.

	shoredude2:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 23:59 GMT	1 point
	I've been to Rocky Mount and would have never guessed that it was over 50k.

	GeoExpert:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 00:15 GMT	2 points
	I really like these state quizzes. Can't believe I missed Fayetteville and Winston-Salem

	omnipotent1:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 00:44 GMT	1 point
	I managed to get 3. Five others it was a face in the palm moment. Between the ECHL and NCAA basketball, I actually know a few NC cities.

	gushuss32:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 00:54 GMT	2 points
	who cares? all i know is South of the Border is only 271 miles away....now only 150....

	Ephraim:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 01:24 GMT	-2 points
	I did terribly, even though I live in NC. How embarrasing.

	dbris:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 02:10 GMT	2 points
	I lived in Concord for 12 years and got that one, but missed Kannapolis (which is right next to it) because I never thought it would be big enough to be in top 20. I am pleasantly surprised.

	bug:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 02:35 GMT	2 points
	hmmm, I suppose I was trying to pretend that Chapel Hill doesn't exist.

	wolfpackjew:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 03:37 GMT	3 points
	I've lived in Charlotte for the first 18 years of my life, been in Raleigh for the past 5. I only missed Huntersville, which I am shocked is actually more populated than other cities like Boone.

	wolfpackjew:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 03:51 GMT	0 points
	By the way, Hickory has over 50,000 so it should be on the list.

	ZeroSignal:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 03:58 GMT	3 points
	Only missed three. My hometown of Siler City has only 8540!

	krackfishy3:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 07:39 GMT	3 points
	If we get technical about things North Carolina has given the world, then I think the giant random furniture monuments in the Triad deserve some of the headline as well as Krispy Kreme.

	Tommyp007:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 14:15 GMT	1 point
	Born and raised in NC, and still missed 3. Surely Hickory is over 40k population as much as its grown.

	sactoshc:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 14:33 GMT	2 points
	7/20...obviously, I'm not the Son of the South that I fancy myself.

	LeeWolf:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 14:48 GMT	5 points
	Lifelong NC resident here, got all of them but Huntersville. I was kind of surprised about Hickory too. While we are at it, NC did give the world Pespi as well.

	ad808:	Aug 22nd, 2009 at 15:47 GMT	1 point
	13/20. Pretty good for a Northerner, even though I left out Michael Jordan's home town. I knew Cary's grown a bit but I had no idea it was as big as it is.
