2. Okay
Smallest: Sparks, Maryland
Population: 5098

But, I would hardly count that as Sparks is a northern suburb of Baltimore. Almost, anyway.

Largest: Baltimore, Maryland

18. 1981 and 82
So long before the riots. I lived with my father at the Hawaiian Garden apts it was at Rosecrans and Normandie? I think, I looked on microsoft maps birdseye view and it looked like either I was in the wrong place or the complex was gone.

15. Then I have to amend my answers since....
The Chicago Metropolitan Area, or Chicagoland as we call it, has nearly 10,000,000...........

And since El Lago was located in the Houston Metro Area it's population of 3000 no longer applies as the HMA has about 5,200,000, I guess the smallest place I've ever lived in was ........

Memphis, Metro pop = 1,168,184.

Therefore, I've never lived in place with less than 1,000,000 people in it, even though the town where I now live has a population of 28,000.

:crazy:
