I got Rockford IL, Madison and Milwaukee WI. I haven't lived in any of these places but I have lived relatively close, within 3 hours or so, of all of them. I retook the test today to see if I'd get a different answer. While there were a few new questions this time (kitty corner), I still got the exact same cities! I was particularly curious since I've lived in so many different cities around the country and have picked up phrases along the way. For instance, soda is pretty universally understood. Pop is not. I grew up with karmul, but when I learned the food was named after a guy whose name starts like care, then I changed my pronunciation. My ex-husband always said katty corner which just bugged me. But then so much did...

Oh, and least similar: New Orleans, Birmingham and Montgomery. No big surprises there!
