I only missed one, but I was surprised to see certain cities on here and others not.

8/21/2009 11:41:47 PM

got the top 12, plus 2 others. You are right, lots of po-dunk places making the list. Very surprised Hickory didn't make it.

8/21/2009 11:49:18 PM

Now that you mention it, Hickory is 50,000+ so it should be.

8/21/2009 11:51:00 PM

I got 15/20

8/21/2009 11:53:16 PM

Also matthews... where they @? Charlotte Independence has to be 50K+ by itself.

8/21/2009 11:53:56 PM

Matthews is only 22,000

Boone is somewhere around 14,000. I was surprised to find out it was that small.

8/21/2009 11:56:35 PM

Got 14

also surprised hickory wasn't one

8/21/2009 11:57:19 PM

I left a comment saying Hickory should be on there, we'll see if the quiz creator changes it.

8/21/2009 11:58:07 PM

Got 16

8/22/2009 12:21:25 AM

got 17. i knew i was missing charlotte minis. huntersville kannapolis and some other place.

i know the top 11 in order right off the bat. was surprised there was no goldsboro or elizabeth city.

basically you just needed to take the triangle the triad charlotte asheville jacksonville wilmington and fayetteville and add the major suburbs and thats it. other than rocky mount/wilson

8/22/2009 12:42:21 AM

10 of the top 12 plus CH and hickory

8/22/2009 12:47:45 AM

17. Missed Jacksonville (I was thinking military bases but it slipped my mind), Huntersville (where the hell is Huntersville and where did it get 45k residents?), and Kannapolis (oops).

8/22/2009 12:49:56 AM

16 - Huntersville is a boom suburb of Charlotte at Lake Norman

Missed Huntersville, Kannapolis, Concord, and Burlington

8/22/2009 12:59:04 AM

huntersville is just north of charlotte. it's where north meck high school is, and for years it was the largest high school in the state. a new high school opened last year in that area, and another is opening next year.


kannapolis isn't really a charlotte mini, it's like 30 minutes or so north of downtown charlotte...

8/22/2009 1:02:19 AM

kannapolis is more of a concord mini than a charlotte mini

8/22/2009 1:06:32 AM

WILSON
was my missed one

8/22/2009 1:08:49 AM

I associate too many places near Charlotte as being a part of Charlotte, I was wasting some time until I figured out I should not be doing that. I missed the 3 smallest, but I'm not sure extra time would have helped. But 17 isn't so bad. I'll admit I did a lot of guess work towards the end though.

8/22/2009 1:45:24 AM

I got the top 13 and Chapel Hill, which was 16.

The only one of the ones I missed that I have ever really heard of more than just in passing was Rocky Mount. I guess they're western nc cause I don't really know much about that part of the state.

8/22/2009 10:14:46 AM

Top 16 and 18, 19. Somehow just forgot Burlington and was mildly surprised K-town was that large.

Also wondered why Hickory and Greenville weren't there.

8/22/2009 10:48:43 AM

Greenville was there.

8/22/2009 10:54:07 AM

Don't know what huntersville is and only have heard of kannapolis.

8/22/2009 1:38:23 PM

Missed Huntersville, Concord, and Burlington.

8/22/2009 1:48:01 PM

I somehow misspelled gastonia and asheville repeatedly, and it didn't accept my answers as a result. I got the other 18.

I typed Hickory about 14 different ways trying to get it to take.

8/22/2009 1:58:09 PM

got 17

also surprised about goldsboro and hickory

This.

In the same vein, Cary was the very last place I thought of.
