I've lived in the ND/MN region my whole life but it put my in Seattle, Tacoma, and Reno. This aside, some people I know had it guess theirs right down to the exact city.
I also tried making one as absurd as possible and it put me in St. Louis.

It gave me one suburb less than 7 miles away. Chicago area is pretty distinctive language wise.
I think gym shoe is more generational, and supper/dinner is more social class than geography.
