San Jose might be in the top 10 in actual city limit population, but that is not what most people go by when they think of city size. The METROPOLITAN population of San Jose only tanks around #34 in the US.

Room was filled with a bunch of nerds...I'm talking about the ones that are probably still living with their mom 15 years later but know everything. I'm running through these rounds and get some question about what river borders Yuma, AZ...Colorado, right? Nope, they were looking for the Gila.

So instead of making this nerd answer the question I missed, he just gets the next question which is about Montgomery, AL. In the AL state bee.

I suck at international stuff now. Combination of forgetting, not really caring, and not keeping up with political/border changes.

Never would have guessed Buffalo

I even thought about it, and just decided it wasn't worth the time to type it.

I got 35/38. Missed Buffalo, Greensboro, NC and Augusta, GA


Also, is it bad that every time I'd type in a big city that didn't pop up (Denver, Phoenix, Austin, Oklahoma City), it made me wanna move there?

Oh for sure.

Almost every single one on the left side except for Baltimore, Cleveland, and Detroit.
