This is lot tougher than it looks. I've never been to Dallas, and there are a dick**** ton of random shitty cities to account for in that area. Never even ****ing heard of Garland, TX.

I wonder if it almost wouldn't be easier to score a higher percentage on this quiz by adding more cities to the mix. It's definitely way easier to name cities when you only have to pick off one or two in a single state.

If I didn't live in Colorado, there's no way I would've known Aurora.

Those are the only ones I got. Thanks, guys.
