The words "Quiz Time" in large cartoon font

When I started preparing a quiz about Vinings, I discovered I had enough questions for more than one quiz. So here’s a second, bonus quiz about that community. If you want to take the first part of the quiz, follow this link.

Vinings, along with Fair Oaks, is one of the two Census Designated Places (CDP) in Cobb County, and is the largest CDP now that Mableton incorporated into the city. A CDP is an area that isn’t officially incorporated, but is locally recognized and identified by name. I’ve always found that a debatable designation, since East Cobb could also fit that definition, but isn’t recognized as a CDP by the census. But the census is going to designate who the census is going to designate.
