Cool quiz. I wonder how many states have a most guessed city that's neither their capital nor their largest city.

At least Alabama! Birmingham is #1 guessed, ahead of capital Montgomery and largest city Huntsville

Being not from there, Mobile springs to mind before any of those cities you mentioned

Also not being from there, Birmingham and Mobile would probably be the only two I would get. Birmingham because of Birmingham UK and the civil rights movement and Mobile because of Bob Dylan.

Though Birmingham is the largest metro in the state.

By city proper, Miami is not the most populous city in Florida. It's Jacksonville. Of course, the Miami metro area has about three times the population of Jacksonville's, so in practical terms, it doesn't fit what you're suggesting. Otherwise, Missouri is probably the best option. St. Louis has a much smaller population within city limits than Kansas City does, but its metro population is a little larger. So, depending on how you define "most populous city" and which of those two cities is actually more guesses, it's entirely possible the most populous city in Missouri is neither the most guessed nor the capital.

...or Flint because of their notoriously bad water! Wonder how many cities are famous, or infamous, for less than noble reasons?

True but I think of Flint as a mostly abandon city because it pretty much is. Just saying.

Agree. I also think of it like an abandon city while abandoned cities are most likely in ukraine right now.. while I would say in us there is not any abandoned city that is close to those in ukraine to be honest.. the destruction is different in U.S.

It could have something to do with the hurricane that went through last year, it got international news coverage on that city specifically.
