    Kenobi's Geography Challenge

    50 cities in 50 states.

    Match the city name to the state name.

    Edit, missing two due to edits. Grr.

    Alright, no cities under 20k population. Every city is primarily associated with the state that it's in according to Google. A bit fairer than the last list which was quick and dirty.

    Barnstable - MA
    Bellevue - NE
    Bellingham -WA
    Bethelehem -PA
    Biddeford - ME
    Blythe - CA
    Burlington -VT
    Charlottesville - VA
    Clifton - NJ
    Danbury - CT
    Dodge City - KA
    Dothan - AL
    Dover - DE
    Elizabethtown -KY
    Fairbanks - AK

    Minot - ND
    Missoula - MT
    Moline - IL
    Morgantown - WV
    Muskogee - OK

    What is the point in this? A lot of these city names appear in many different states. What a stupid thread.

        Yeah, Athens probably is in 29 states. I know there's a Decatur in Illinois as well as Georgia.

            That makes it a retarded guess and check game involving obscure towns in asinine locations. It's basically Geography Sudoku.

                Most of these are fairly large towns.

                Clifton VA is 242 people, so no, it's not Clifton VA.

                  Yeah, I guess if you like memorizing obscure facts just for fun you might enjoy it.

                    My lesson plans for tonight are done and I thought making this puzzle would be fun.

                    Anyways, if you don't want to play, don't post.

                              Without looking I now there's more than one Bethelehem (sp?), Burlington, Carthage, Cumberland, Danbury...

                              Better questions: which ones allow gay marriages?
                              Which one Doesn't currently allow concealed carry? (only one)
