Sheldon mentioned Michigan Avenue on Big Bang a few years back as being a well known or well used street name–that is what I am assuming the basis of my hypothesis
In the early Seventies, James Buckley was elected to the Senate as a member of the Conservative Party (the Republican nominee was the liberal Charles Gooddell, whose son is now commissioner of the NFL). Liberal Republican Senators like Jacob Javits insisted Buckley could not caucus with them until he had few years to prove his Republicanism. Byrd and Buckley jokingly applied to have their own caucus, with Byrd as Minority Leader and Buckley as Minority Whip.
Just outside of Fulton, TX is a massive oak tree estimated to be well over 1500 years old.
At first I thought you were going for one of the lost peninsulas,two bits of Michigan from which you can only drive through from Ohio.
Nice to see all the Michigan bits, as we all know four out of five Great Lakes prefer to border Michigan.
People, including some who should know better such as cops, are always surprised at the amount of services available in Aoiz, a town with less than 3000 registered inhabitants only 20km away from the provincial capital of Pamplona. School, HS, library, branch of the Official School of Languages, Employment office, medical center, courts of law…
Aoiz was made co-capital of the merindad of Sangüesa in 1494; when the merindades became partidos judiciales, it became the capital of the partido.
How does Florida not count?
Because Georgia has more land?
Florida is bigger if you count by total area, but that area includes a lot of water. As you might expect in a state that’s a peninsula in a sea.
Lake Erie is just a dirty old man lake so its best that it is away from Michigan’s border
Actually, Michigan does have a small coast on Lake Erie, it’s Lake Ontario that Michigan doesn’t touch.
oops boo boo on me! I should be shot!
Explain that to the Arabs…
It’s got to do with so much of it being a swamp, really, not with what’s around it.
Completely east of the Mississippi. Minnesota is also east of the Mississippi. And West.
Contrary to what a certain Leonardo DiCaprio movie would show, the area where Hugh Glass was attacked by the grizzly bear in what is now South Dakota is not mountainous and full of pine trees. It’s actually on a bluff overlooking a river on the wide and mostly treeless prairie.
There is also a monument to Hugh Glass there.
The text on our flag–CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC–refers to a period of about 25 days in which California was an independent (though unrecognized) state.
Did anyone see where on the Goldie Hawn movie called “Bird on a Wire” Racine WI is just across the bridge from Detroit…yeah.
Not so much that it’s swamp, but is also has tons of inland water. It’s kinda like GA is a hunk of cheddar and FL is a hunk of swiss.
Yeah, but the part east of the Mississippi is just that piddly part that’s really Canadian 
Portland has Mount Tabor completely within the city. OK, it’s only 600-some feet high, but to make up for that, it’s an extinct volcano. Bet your city doesn’t have one of those.
As far as Great Lakes goes…
Michgan borders on all the Great Lakes except for Lake Ontario
Ontario borders on all the Great Lakes except for Lake Michgan
Where do you think the corndog was invented? If you had guess, you’d probably say Iowa or some other Midwestern state. Or maybe Texas or Georgia or somewhere in the South. Well, you’d be wrong. It turns out it was invented in Oregon. And now Oregon has the largest roof-corndog in the world. We’re so proud … California is going to be so jealous.
I should have been more specific and said Representative.
The original monument-sized casting of James Earle Fraser’s iconic “The End of the Trai” is in my home town of Waupun, Wisconsin. Fraser’s original work was commissioned by Waupun industrialist Clarence Shaler. As a child, I lived for several years in the house previously occupied by Shaler.
Perhaps Dublin’s most famous resident, Molly Malone, probably never existed and the song that made her famous was first published in Cambridge, Massachusetts in the 1880s.
Dublin’s name in Irish is Báile Áth Cliath (translation: "Town Of The Hurdle Ford) seemingly deriving from a settlement near the centre of the modern city called Áth Cliath, while its English name comes via the Viking Dyflin, ultimately from the Irish Duiblinn, meaning “Black Pool”, the name of a nearby settlement.
Google’s EU HQ is currently in Dublin and the surrounding area has gained the nickname the “Google Ghetto”.
St Michan’s Church on Dublin’s Church St has an interest crypt. Local conditions have mummified the bodies therein and you can go and have a look and touch bodies that have lain pristine for centuries.
