I must be a Texan...for first major city I first typed Beaumont.
And, "first" is misspelled.

I tried Beaumont at first, too. But the actual answer was my second guess.

I tried Beaumont, then Baton Rouge, but then I got it on the third try.

Beaumont, Lake Charles, Baton Rouge. Especially Baton Rouge -- it's the capital of Louisiana and I-10 cuts directly through the center of it before continuing to New Orleans.

I tried exactly the same ones plus Lafayette before ending with the good city.

A Houston quiz that doesn't mention the Rothko Chapel? That was the only reason I visited Houston!

I live in Houston and have never heard of the Rothko Chapel....sounds interesting though

Looks like a conference room on Doctor Who. From the 70s.

Huh, I actually ducked in when I visited the Menil Museum in Houston -- I found it kind of boring, but I was like 12 and not a big fan of abstract art. The Menil Museum had a cool collection but the display labels were often so vague as to be unhelpful.

Isn't the 5th city Philadelphia?

The Census Bureau estimates that Phoenix has been bigger than Philadelphia for a couple years now. https://factfinder.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/PEP/2016/PEPANNRSIP.US12A

Good quiz, although I'm not sure how a question about the next largest city fits the category as a question about Houston.

I was waiting for someone to say this....and I totally agree. On the other hand, I'm sure the Quizmaster was scraping the bottom of the barrel for questions that wouldn't be too obscure. And since I got it right, I'll take it.

"Bottom of the barrel"! Fake news - must be at least 100 suitable questions to ask - e.g. name the 25 man squad for the World Series champions of 2017.

Sure there are many more questions, but how many people around the country (or the world) would have a chance of knowing the answers? This quiz has pretty much reached the limit of general knowledge about Houston that the average person on the street would know.

Except that how are people around the country or the world more likely to get it because it's got Phoenix in the answer? I agree with pamu, this question doesn't fit this quiz.

Valid point, they're not more likely to get it. But as I said, I'll take it because I got it right. I still think the question doesn't really belong but a replacement question would probably be too obscure for me to know, and I'll take points any way I can get them. Maybe the quiz should just be one question shorter.

I had the same thought about the next largest city. Doesn't really seem to be a question about "Houston." How about a question about the best defensive player in the NFL? :)

I think NOLA should be acceptable for New Orleans. It is commonly called that by Louisianans and folks in the south

Agreed. Please accept NOLA for New Orleans :)

it's just sad that 63% of people don't know that hurricane Harvey hit Houston. it was everywhere on the news.

No, 63% know it. And a good part of the rest probably just have forgotten the name of the hurricane, but not the fact that a hurricane hit Houston.

It actually took me a few moments to remember the hurricane's name, thanks to all the multiple giant hurricanes all in a row. And I even had family that were evacuated via canoe! (They're all safe & sound.)

Even as someone born in Beaumont I can overlook the slight, but I would hazard that Baton Rouge is a major city.

It's a major city of Louisiana, yes. The U.S.? Not by a long shot.

No one in Houston uses the term "motorway."

Don't know much about Houston. Got "Sam", the Apollo question and Beyonce Knowles. Thought the Rodeo was "Running with the Bulls", as that's what done in Calvary.
