	I made this quiz already. Thanks for stealing it! j/k, it's nice to see it revived again.

	pita:	Nov 12th, 2009 at 19:56 GMT		2 points
	I think the Peoria here is Illinois, not Missouri.

	Also, Berkeley is spelled wrong.

	It's interesting, this is probably easier than the list of current cities, since it has more real cities and fewer obscure, but sprawling, suburbs.

	mjbarb02:	Nov 12th, 2009 at 20:16 GMT		3 points
	Haha yeah I found it interesting that I knew more of these places than on most of the other quizzes Also fixed the mistakes

	It's amazing how much some of these cities have exploded (particularly Austin and Phoenix), but it's truly incredible how many of them are significantly smaller now than they were just 59 years ago (Cleveland, St. Louis, Washington, Boston, Buffalo, Newark, Providence, etc.)

	And I think that 60 years later, they're all still cities or towns. The quizzes for 1900, 1850 etc. include towns that have now been absorbed into big cities, such as Brooklyn into New York.

	This colour scheme is just murder on the eyes.

	princessofb:	Nov 13th, 2009 at 15:57 GMT		5 points
	ack! the colours! it's like playing in split pea soup! not user-friendly at all.

	Chocolatl:	Nov 13th, 2009 at 18:23 GMT		4 points
	Another vote against this horrible color scheme.

	mjbarb02:	Nov 13th, 2009 at 19:04 GMT		3 points
	Split pea soup is gone

	I'm from Chicago, and didn't know that it had ever had more than 3.5 million people in the city proper. That made me assume that these were metro area figures, so I didn't even try places like Berkeley and Yonkers. Guess that'll teach me to assume...
