Why did so many pick Gary, IN? Just because it spawned the Jacksons and has a horrible murder rate doesn’t mean you should think of it so easily!

“Gary Indiana, Gary Indiana, Gary…”

2. Hope that’s spelled right.

Nope. The way I remember how to spell words like coeur, boeuf and oeuvre is to think of the œ ligature.

I remembered Woody on Cheers insulting Gary, Indiana a couple times. I thought Hanover wouldn’t be a very popular answer.

3. Reno
4. Salem
5. Tacoma
6. Salem
7. Oakland
8. Savannah
9. Colorado Springs
10. Gary
11. When in doubt, go with the capital
12. See #1
13. “Witch City” reputation should help

ETA: Too late, but I picked Gary not only for the Jacksons, the crime rate, and The Music Man, but because the city gained some notoriety for lagging in the tabulating of votes following the Democratic primary last year.

[Chronos]

Huh, and here, I picked Gary just because I’m a Great Lakes boy born and bred.

Indiana was the one I agonized over the most. There were several cities I thought of and was tempted to pick, Gary among them. Probably shoulda gone with it: it’s a nice, short, easy-to-remember name.

@LilyoftheValley

I am absolutely amazed how many people said Springfield, Mass. Are you all fans of the Basketball Hall of Fame or Dr Seuss?

What am I missing?

In my particular case, I lived there for 6 months

[gonzomax]

Only second. What a bore. I should have won. Of course the Worm dug his way out of this one. He would have been fertilizer.

[twickster]

Corvallis did me in for Oregon – I should know better than to go Pavlovian. Ah well, I’m still in the top half.

Thanks for scoring, Rebo! Fun feud, NDP!

[Ike_Witt]

Sweet. Dead last.

[Elendil_s_Heir]

My sympathies. I wasn’t too damned far ahead of you. :mad:

Still, a fun Feud! Thanks!

[Biffy_the_Elephant_Shrew]

Yeah, I could see right away that I was gonna bomb in this one. A good feud nonetheless!
