I’d’ve had to look up the cities in all the neighboring states if I hadn’t found [this map](http://www.mapsofworld.com/usa/usa-maps/united-states-map-with-major-cities.html). And I still wound up having to look up four different cities. I used Google Maps to decide which of two cities I was closest to. And, as I said in my post, it came out very close – I am only a mile closer to one city than the other. ---

I live on the outskirts of Tucson. Not actually in the city limits, but not too far outside. I live in an unincorporated area of Pima County, but if I drive down the road a few miles, I’m in Tucson. It’s a residential area with plenty of surface streets and shopping centers, very well-developed. For all purposes, it might as well be in Tucson, we’re just not within the map boundary. ---

Right now I’m about 60 miles from Las Vegas, but I answered Sacramento based on where I actually live. ---

Orlando is Florida’s second most populous metropolitan statistical area, but it isn’t on the list. I’m closest to Jacksonville out of Jax and Miami. ---
