	You say Carmel, I say Caramel.

	I recently moved away from Columbus. Please change it to 40,000 even.

	Forty years ago, Gary was almost twice as big.

	I never heard of Fishers. I've got way too many customers out in Indiana.

	jtrichey:	Nov 17th, 2009 at 04:21 GMT	3 points
	Fishers is basically a suburb. The northeast side of Indy (think the I-69 daily traffic jam)

	jtrichey:	Nov 17th, 2009 at 04:22 GMT	3 points
	I was a little surprised to not see Jeffersonville (the city across from Louisville) on here. Anyone know what it's population/rank is?

	Rifsun:	Nov 17th, 2009 at 04:23 GMT	5 points
	Easiest way to test if someone has just arrived at Notre Dame for the first time: Can they pronounce "Mishawaka?"

	JasonJP:	Nov 17th, 2009 at 04:38 GMT	1 point
	Now you made me wonder how that is pronounced. Agh! I'm gonna crazy. Or I'm just gonna find a video about it... Anyway, nice quiz!!

	teapot37:	Nov 17th, 2009 at 04:56 GMT	3 points
	@jtrichey: Jeffersonville is at 30,479 according to the July 2008 census, and New Albany was at 37,603 and Clarksville was at 21,400 in the 2000 census.

	Thalia:	Nov 17th, 2009 at 05:19 GMT	5 points
	Wow... the only reason I got more than just the capital city was that song from "The Music Man," which is now unfortunately going to be stuck in my head for hours.

	elevatorman:	Nov 17th, 2009 at 05:20 GMT	1 point
	Cool quiz. I thought I'd breeze through, but the I missed three. I made the same quiz awhile ago, but I used the 2000 census. It's pretty interesting to see the changes. Fishers has boomed from 37,000 to an estimated 69,000.

	Now we need Minnesota cities. Also to be truly sadistic North Dakota cities.

	rockhopperlad:	Nov 17th, 2009 at 07:01 GMT	2 points
	12/20. Not bad, considering I've spent about fifteen minutes of my life in the Hoosier State.

	ShveLaSoul:	Nov 17th, 2009 at 07:01 GMT	2 points
	What about Pawnee? I heard they have a good parks department.

	jjherman:	Nov 17th, 2009 at 07:08 GMT	3 points
	my hometown is mishawaka and I've always thought of it as not that big, guess I was wrong!

	dudemanbearpig:	Nov 17th, 2009 at 07:44 GMT	8 points
	You know you're from Indiana when you think the state bird is Larry.

	trivial:	Nov 17th, 2009 at 08:24 GMT	2 points
	Indiana cities are tough! I lived a good part of my life in a bordering state (MI) and still only came up with 10. Should have gotten 11 but couldn't spell Mishawaka. Don't you pronounce it so the first syllable is like Michigan? The comment by Rifsun is making me wonder if I've always pronounced it wrong.

	switzr1:	Nov 17th, 2009 at 09:56 GMT	1 point
	You are right trivial.

	Justin_S:	Nov 17th, 2009 at 17:20 GMT	3 points
	Yeah, it's MISH-uh-WALK-uh.

	mjenks:	Nov 17th, 2009 at 18:16 GMT	2 points
	Fishers threw me. Before I left, it was just a little suburb of Indy. Must have gotten big fast. Thanks for finally getting around to Indiana, Booger.

	Jenbebe:	Nov 17th, 2009 at 18:56 GMT	2 points
	Did anyone else get Muncie from watching Bob Ross on PBS? His "happy little" painting show was produced there.

	Joe Pearson:	Nov 17th, 2009 at 19:04 GMT	2 points
	As a resident, I can comment that Fishers is the fastest growing community in Indiana. You can tell by the traffic. Ugh.

	elnok:	Nov 17th, 2009 at 20:16 GMT	1 point
	i so wanted Pawnee to be on there...

	eostby:	Nov 18th, 2009 at 06:53 GMT	4 points
	I'm from central Indiana, and I only got 12. Then again, I live in a town of less than 15,000, so that may have something to do with this. Also, I want to meet the .3% who missed Indianapolis.

	kdc4evr:	Nov 18th, 2009 at 11:44 GMT	1 point
	how else would someone pronounce Mishawaka? not that I've ever heard of the town, but when I read it, I heard it just like @Justin_S spelled it out. Is it a midwestern pronunciation or something? I am from Illinois (which is why I should have gotten more than 5 correct, especially since I've been to both Hammond and Fort Wayne and know people who still live there)

	Bruce Wayne:	Nov 18th, 2009 at 13:02 GMT	2 points
	i finally know a lot about a quiz! i've lived in columbus my whole life and never thought it would make a sporcle quiz... fishers is the fastest-growing city in indiana, and carmel either has one of the highest per capita incomes in the state or has lost its rich-people-only aura... mishawaka is indeed "mish-a-WA-ka" and is a really nice town right by notre dame

	biskit67:	Nov 18th, 2009 at 18:51 GMT	1 point
	Have lived in Indiana 38 years. Still missed 2....dang.

	Fishers is bigger than Carmel now?? Wow

	Anne13:	Dec 3rd, 2009 at 20:22 GMT	1 point
	Can't believe 0.4% would miss Indianapolis.

	There's a place called Kokomo, that's where you wanna go to get away from it all...

	I'm from Fishers, and Lawrence isn't a town!! It's a township of Indianapolis.

	midwesterndiva:	Feb 1st, 2010 at 19:56 GMT	1 point
	Man! I've lived here my whole life and I still only got 13/20! I can't believe I forgot Mishawaka AND Anderson! I was surprised that Vincennes wasn't on here.

	joejoe:	Mar 8th, 2010 at 06:28 GMT	1 point
	Having grown up in Fishers, and lived then past 17 years in South Bend/ Mishawaka/Elkhart, I found the quiz fairly easy. Still, looking at all the towns that Fishers has passed in population is jsut bizarre. When I left their for college in 1983, it had about 700 -800 people. It makes me literally ill to drive through there now. And, yes, Lawrence is not a town.
