Same here. I was surprised that Norwalk made the list and major cities like Newport RI didn't. I never thought that Norwalk, which is barely considered a city (don't cities need at least 100,000 people?) would be on this list. That just shows that the US barely has any big cities starting with N.
it's really called the 'South Shoah' and Gloucester is better known for whaling nowadays (whale watches, that is; nobody does whaling anymore except the Inuit); but on the other hand, New Bedford is better known for starting with 'n'
I pulled New Bedford out of some recess of my memory, no idea how or where it came from. At first I was thinking that was the city assigned to some random superhero for protection during the pilot of the Tick cartoon but then I remembered that's actually New Rochelle.
I feel so bad for Nashua that their biggest claim to fame is that they had a fictional branch that was a minor detail in the background of a television show.
Okayyyy, I'm not sure how I feel about these hints. These quizzes are supposed to test knowledge of US cities, not "The Office" trivia or one's ability to put words together. Miss the good old days when there were no hints and these quizzes were better!
