Maybe change this to 'All United States 50k Cities with Exceptions' because 'America' can mean North America and South America, the United States, North America, or South America.

This quiz is too good to ignore, so I'm disappointed you didn't come back and make corrections. _______________________________________

As noted above, "San Bernardino" and "Surprise".

Tuscaloosa AND Hoover.

Millcreek UT seems to be missing.

"Plainfield" - no "West".

"United States".

______________________________________

I'm going to take this quiz again, as it helps clarify a number of things.
