Changes:

- Changed the name of Detroit's tallest building "Detroit Marriott at Renaissance Center" -> "Renaissance Center" to better reflect the true building name, not tenants

It's not clear whether the rankings are for urban areas or cities proper. Jersey City and Newark are included in addition to New York. However, other cities that are not the largest in their metro areas (e.g. St. Paul, MN or St. Petersburg, FL) would be ranked on this list but appear to be excluded since they are part of a larger metro area.

The methodology I used was sort of subjective in that sense I suppose. Cities that have very little definition of being a part of a larger metro (eg Minneapolis-St. Paul) were combined. Jersey City and Newark, in my opinion, felt distinct enough both geographically and generally to be in their own category. I appreciate your feedback though and when I review this quiz for update later this month I'll take that into account. Thanks!
