I’m in Kansas City, KS, along with **Homer, Antracite** and some other folks. Unless, of course, saying that I live in Overland Park will get me my own listing. 😃 ---

\*\*The Dalles, Oregon. \*\* That’s 90 miles east of Portland on the Columbia River. And yes, the “The” is part of the town’s name, and no, it’s not Dallas. Note the antepenultimate “e”. It’s from the French, Les Dalles, meaning roughly the chutes or troughs, describing a narrow part of the river near here. ---

**Hillsboro, VA** here. Another case of “you never heard of it” I know. Try about 50 miles NW of Washington DC or about 8 miles south of Harpers Ferry (just south of where the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers meet). Good idea, man, Bishop should go. ---

Hey, thanks, everyone, for your participation. I was just looking at that map and it’s pretty messy. So, I just wanted to reassure you that, now that I have so many of you, I’ll be going back through and organizing all the names so I can start over and hopefully make this thing a little cleaner. At least I can prevent all the lines from intersecting each other! 😃 Also, I may make the map a little bigger, that way the locations can be more precise and the names won’t be so blurry. I’ll also try to find a map that shows the states in the US. Let’s call this one a rough draft for now. Some people have made other suggestions that I may look into, if it looks like something I can do such as mouseovers and obfus’ idea of image mapping or whatever. ---

Demo, just so everyone knows, I am working on a practical example of what I meant by image mapping and mouseovers that I can send to Demo. I’ll leave it to him to decide if he likes it ---
