Names that are blends of the two state names and are usually on or near the border of those two states. There's quite a few around. Off the top of my head there are Marydel and Delmar, both on the MD/DE border Texhoma TX/OK Florala AL Alsask, SK (yes, Canada has one too) Texarkana, which has elements of three states' names (but was named after a railroad, I believe) There's a bunch of others, but they don't come to mind right now. -- Dan Tilque |

Nonetheless, it's the one that got me started playing this game in the first place (and Mark Brader has taken it to heights of which I never dreamt)...the initial thought was "Oklahoma City is the capital and largest city of Oklahoma, but Arizona City is just a wide spot in the road, and Kansas City (the first one people think of) isn't even *in* Kansas".... And it went forward from there.... One of the things I noticed was that Arizona doesn't seem to make much use of other state's names...the only "populated place" here with the name of another state is "Maine, Arizona", and if you knew where that is without looking it up I'd be greatly surprised....r I ca't find it even by looking it up, and I have quite a few maps and atlases. My suspicion is that it's a ghost town. Do you have a location?

OK, rephrase the subject for yourself to include provinces (as I intended). The city of Utrecht is in the province of Utrecht. The city of Groningen is in the province of Groningen. The city of Antwerpen is in the province of Antwerpen. The city of Liège is in the province of Liège. The city of Mexico is the capital of Mexico ************* DAVE HATUNEN ) ************* * Tucson Arizona, out where the cacti grow * * My typos & mispellings are intentional copyright traps * |
