Note: I have left out McAllen and McKinney, TX as opinions are divided as to whether such names constitute two words. Also San Buenaventura, CA because it is more commonly known as Ventura, CA.

	Good quiz!

	MisterF:	Mar 20th, 2011 at 22:20 GMT		2 points
	Overall a great quiz, though you may want to remove the Q at the end of Newport News.

	Thank you loganite and MisterF, I will get right on it, thanks for catching that. :)

Comment below threshold: show it

	@myb555: I was confused about that myself, but I believe the city is Tampa and Tampa Bay only refers to the body of water. Confusion is probably caused by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and other teams that represent the entire area rather than just the city of Tampa. The name was picked to be expansive and so include other cities in the area, such as Clearwater and St. Petersburg among others.

	Dear folks of California: could you please agree to gather in one mega-huge city instead of so many minor mega cities?

	DarkPhalanx:	Mar 21st, 2011 at 12:30 GMT		5 points
	I like the quiz, but near the end it kinda becomes "Can you name the minor cities of Texas and California?"

	senob44:	Mar 21st, 2011 at 16:43 GMT		3 points
	@DarkPhalanx I agree with you, it tends to break down to that a little, but I couldn't figure a way around it. That's one of the reasons I decided to leave the state as a hint, as those cities are likely lesser-known nationally as being "major" cities. I figure if the quiz-taker does end up stuck with a bunch of CA or TX cities left, then at least they know that and can focus on those states.

	Just for general info, what I had wanted to make with this quiz was one where you can just name any fairly well-known multi-word city and have it be there. I personally love quizzes where you just keep rattling off answers trying to get them all. Unfortunately TX and CA make it almost impossible to get them all (I generally can't, lol) so it's a little trickier than intended. But thanks to all for playing and hope it's enjoyable. ;)

	@myb555, Tampa Bay is the name of the bay; Tampa is the name of the city.

	How about San Juan, Puerto Rico as a bonus answer at least? Pop. 658,304.

	senob44:	Mar 25th, 2011 at 19:16 GMT		1 point
	@Jay - Good suggestion. Thanks, done as a bonus!
