Useless Trivia Tag...

[AndyM]

It's raining AGAIN. I thought I was going to get in some seat time this afternoon, but instead we're going to try this out--

I'll start things off with a question of useless trivia, then someone else gives the correct answer, but then they need to also submit another trivia question for the next person to answer. Thanks for the idea, Junkman. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Ready?

What is the only city in the United States whose boundary extends from the eastern border of the state to the western border of the state?

 

[RobS]

Could it be Washington DC?

Here's my somewhat related question: What four US Capital cities begin with the same letter as their respective states?

Washington DC is not in any state. Think of a city in a state.

I was banking on a trick question /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

How about some city in Alaska on the Aleutian Islands that happens to sit on the 180 degree line? My atlas doesn't show those lines but Alaska does extend furthest West and East, doesn't it? Am I thinking too hard about this? It's snowing here right now so my mind is definitely out of whack /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

SWAG: Wheeling WV?

 

[Gatorboy]

How about Key West, FL?

I was thinking of Weirton, West Virginia. At least that's the one I've always heard.

Let's move on to RobS's question--

Nope, just a cold, boring, rainy afternoon in March.
