We've all guessed cities on here by simply looking at their skylines, Wikipedia paragraphs, word association and more, but can you guess what city I post by just looking at a blank satellite map of the area? Even without labels I'm sure many CDers could easily figure these out. Good luck!

Great idea! Hopefully my GIS training and satelitte imagery can help me out here:

1. Virginia Beach
2. Kansas City?
3. Portland
4. Seems too small to be Milwaukee since it sprawls more towards the west, and lakefront doesn't quite look like Milwaukee.
5. Rochester, NY?

^ I think the area west of the river is more dense in the Omaha area. Maybe Sioux City, Iowa? Looks like nothing but a bunch of farmland.
