I do think it's interesting that, depending on which quiz you take on this website, there are four cities that are somehow all the biggest cities in Alabama. Both this quiz and the U.S. Geography by Letter B quiz had a clue calling different cities the biggest in Alabama.

Huntsville recently passed Birmingham. Looks like I forgot to update the clue for Birmingham. Done now.

In general we are extremely consistent with this stuff.

I don't know if it's worth being this pedantic, especially since it's already another answer on the quiz, but the Harlem River also flows past Manhattan.
