Grand Rapids, MI
Detroit
Rockford, IL

Pretty darn accurate, I'd say, though I had to guess on some questions.  I hear terms like "Devil's Night" and "expressway" a lot in Michigan, although I personally don't use them.

EDIT: Mean to say Rockford, IL, not Rockford, MI.  Sorry.

Most similar: Birmingham, Montgomery, and Jackson.

Least similar: Springfield (MA), Detroit, and Minneapolis/Saint Paul.

I think it's obvious that I am from the Deep South.

It's been awhile since I last did it, but my results are pretty much the same:



Top: Anaheim, Corona, Fremont
Bottom: New Orleans, Shreveport, Jackson

I thought pretty much everyone called it a freeway (which was my most distinctive answer for my top cities).
