Wow. 20,000 posts. I joined The Huddle in 1999 or 2000 but never thought the message boards were my cup of tea. I lurked, under some other username, in 2001-2002 before finally signing up to post something in 2003. So many things have happened since 2003, but one thing that's stayed the same is my love for all things geography. So, without further ado, I present to you 20 questions about our great United States. Please don't be tempted to Google for the answers.

 

1. Which state has the most letters in its name? Rhode Island (State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations) ... (Menudo and completed by Hugh-mongus)

2. Which state has the shortest coastline? New Hampshire (Controller)

3. Which state has the 17 of the 20 highest peaks in the nation? Alaska (Wildcat2334)

4. Which is the largest county in the nation? San Bernadino, CA (Menudo)

5. Which state has the most micro-breweries per capita? Colorado (Sleeping King)

6. Which state had produced the most milk (edit: prior to California overtaking this claim in 1993)? Wisconsin (Menudo) .... corrected to California, per Big John :D:tup:

7. Which state capital is at the highest elevation? Santa Fe, NM (Wildcat2344)

8. Which state shares the least amount of other state borders? Maine (Controller)

9. Where did the first Pizza Hut open? Wichita, KS (Menudo)

10. Where was the alarm clock invented? New Hampshire (Concord) (darin3's a doofus!)

11. Where is the oldest minor league baseball stadium?

12. Which state has the most miles of river? Alaska (Bill Swerski / cdrudge)

13. Where was root beer invented? Biloxi, MS (Menudo)

14. Which state produces the most wool? Texas (isleseeya)

15. Which state, measured from east to west, is the longest? Hawaii (Controller)

16. Where was the “yield” street sign designed and used for the first time? Oklahoma (TimC)

17. Where was the birth control pill invented? Massachusetts (Worcester)(BillyBalata)

18. Where was the first miniature golf course built? North Carolina (Fayetteville) (isleseeya)

19. Which city was the first to have one-way streets?

20. Which city was the first to be lighted by electricity? Cleveland, OH (isleseeya)
