One thought on “Largest Cities in the USA Part 2”

  1. I was surprised by some of these as being the largest. I liked all the high-quality photos you chose to illustrated the info, as well as bundling together each city’s stats (not having space in between each line); this made it much easier to read. Good job and thanks for sharing all your research!
