Your answers of Atlanta and Pittsburgh are both incorrect. As for all the places I have been: I have been to 49 of the 50 states on at least 2 separate occasions....and next summer I will visit that other one for a second time: Alaska. I have been to every city in the US with a population of over 200K...except for Spokane and Huntsville Ala. I have been to 368 of the 419 National Park Units. I used to collect refrigerator magnets, but I quit a while back because it became unmanageable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the 11 cities left to be named, all but I would say 2 of them would be what could be called "Sun Belt" Cities; i.e neither in the Northeast or Midwest. I would say that 1 is in the Northeast, 1 in the midwest and the rest southeast, southwest, or west. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted August 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 I am going to persist with it a bit more. Ten letters left: A F G M Q T U V Y Z Further hint....only one of the letters left is a city that has a "Major league" sports team. (Think: Ghoolie) Plus, maybe another "half city"...you'll get it when that answer comes. For another....think, President's middle name.

The big suburb gave me a hint. Mesa Arizona? Can't think of a "Z" (or any of the others) although doesnt Las Vegas have a very large suburb?

The Gipper Posted August 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Here is today's Trivia Question: Preface: In the history of the USA, 44 people have been President of the USA. The NFL has been playing now for 100 years. In that time there has NEVER been someone play in the National Football League that had the exact same last name as Seven (7) of our Presidents. Give those 7 names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
