I've heard of plenty of the cities below Stockton, though.

Chula Vista was the first one I'd definitely never heard of before seeing this list, though several of the ones above it did require some thought.

^^^^
I know almost nothing about Orange County - sometimes I even forget which side of Los Angeles it's on

If you gave me five minutes to tell you everything I knew about Orange County, I might be able to remember that Anaheim is there but that's it really

Really? You've never even heard of places like Newport Beach?

Before I looked up Orange County yesterday, I was vaguely aware there's a place called Newport Beach somewhere in the United States. If you made me guess I probably would have said Virginia, mixing it up with Newport News.

Irvine, Yorba Linda, and Laguna Beach are places that I knew in California, but I didn't know they were in Orange County.

It's actually kind of weird that this is so much of a blind spot in my knowledge of the US

It would be #1 (Sitka, Alaska) Tongue

Basically this.

Also:


It is so weird seeing cities--not even small ones--I would go to every week for many years not even making a cameo appearance in people's brains. Tongue

Santa Ana, California at #57, but I do know plenty below it.

Yep, this is followed by Henderson, followed by Chandler, all southwestern sunbelt suburbs.

Seriously people? Stockton was the home of one if the most important and influential bands of the 90s.

You're turning into a parody of yourself, ya know that?

I worked on too many of the DRA maps over the last few years. However #303 Jurupa Valley is new to me. It didn't exist in 2010 and was created in 2011.

I know about this one, because in one of my USF classes we studied a SCOTUS case that involved it. Tongue
