A lot of nostalgia for those of us who grew up living on and driving on this highway.

Some of the parts of the route have been incorporated into Interstate 40 and some go through business districts. At least that's how it is from Amarillo to Barstow-ish.

Bloomington-Normal is generally considered one area. I've never seen them listed separately.

They are two independent incorporated cities. As this quiz uses city proper populations, it wouldn't make sense to not include them both.

I missed the 4 least guessed answers. Never even heard of the bottom one. My cousin and I drove along portions of historic route 66 when I was moving back east from California, though we started in Sacramento, then detoured through San Francisco, Yosemite, Death Valley, Las Vegas, and the Grand Canyon before going along I-40 most of the way. Picked up I-88 after Knoxville and went toward DC. We stopped in or passed through Flagstaff, Albuquerque, Amarillo, and Oklahoma City. Overall much more enjoyable than the drive out when we passed by Chicago and stayed on I-80 west most of the trip - the midwest states along this route were brutally boring.

I got 14 out of 15. I wasn't alive during Route 66's heyday, but I live in Illinois which helps with the smaller city names there.

Using Joplin as a threshold there are a lot of California suburbs that should be on this list.

Pasadena, Upland, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, Rialto, Hesperia, and Victorville all clock in with higher populations.

...and Arcadia, depending on if you want to use the 2010 census or the 2018 estimate

Normal is called that because universities set up to train teachers were originally called normal schools for whatever reason. Hence the town that was developed around the Illinois State Normal University (now just Illinois State) was renamed Normal.

Trent wears #66 for Liverpool. Wore it as a kid at the Academy, and kept it at the senior level. He's a Scouser too.

I would've gotten Rancho Cucamonga if the quiz had accepted "Rancho", but for some reason I didn't think to type the full name. Either way I still feel like it should've counted.
