I took this over the weekend & it named the city I was raised in! I almost fell off my chair. It's not a big city in NJ.  I was expecting it to say NYC, but not the exact city where I'm from. 4951

Lol- my 3 cities are Tulsa, OK City and Little Rock- never been to OK and have only visited Little Rock once. I think the quiz picked up my Texas roots with nods to having spent 30 years in Ohio!! Interesting 4951

It picked Jackson (MS), Baton Rouge, and New Orleans.  I was born and raised just north of Baton Rouge and lived near New Orleans for 15 years.  Pretty good! 4951

Austin, Irving, ArlingtonYet, I grew up in Grand Forks, ND until I was 18.  Of course, I was in Harlingen until 11, so clearly that had an impact on my dialect. 4951

@BooBear: it didn't get yours completely right. It said Houston but it didn't say what corner
 
 
@mm4731:
