Too religious. Seriously, 60% of the answers! How can we claim a separation of church and state when so many of our cities' names blatantly promote christian ideals?

Did you count Salem? I thought that came from (Jeru)- which would make it overt religious propaganda too :p

Clue for Salt Lake City should be "Olympics".

The clue is fine, although I’d probably take the T off of the end of the word ‘hear.’

I got San Bernadino from the Frank Zappa song("Oh Bobby! I'm really sorry you've got a head like potato.") and Sioux Falls from watching the second season of Fargo.

Missed Shreveport. Got the Phoenix suburb thanks to South Park, the goth kids named it as the worst place on Earth I think.

Good quiz. Two things: shouldn't it say "place to hear" instead of "place to heart" for Salt Lake City, and having driven through Santa Clarita 20+ times, I would never classify it as a suburb of LA.
