No idea where to even begin but it's probably something very obvious,the Mets have had players from each town/city listed?

Benjamin Grimm Jun 14 2007 01:32 PM

Maybe the way to begin is to focus on some of the more obscure towns, like Baraboo, Wisconsin. From Wikipedia: Baraboo is home to Circus World Museum, the former headquarters and winter home of the Ringling Brothers circus and now the largest library of circus information in the US. This living museum has one of the foremost collections of circus carts, and hosts an annual parade of these artifacts through the streets of Baraboo every summer. Baraboo is also home to the International Crane Foundation, the world's foremost organization dedicated to the study and conservation of the world's 15 species of crane. Belle Case La Follette was born near Baraboo. The Shack, the famous Aldo Leopold farm, is located near Baraboo.

That's it. Each town has a crane pool.

Johnny Dickshot Jun 14 2007 01:40 PM

Nope. On edit: It's funny that this whole Trivia Topic came up because I was researching Baraboo for a work-related thing. (the trivia haas nothing to do with my work, however)

Edgy DC Jun 14 2007 02:15 PM

Eash town, in a series of resoultions, has voted themselves a "Patriot Act- Free Zone."

Johnny Dickshot Jun 14 2007 02:20 PM

Nothing so involved. I came up with in-commonness with a single google search. What did I search for?

metirish Jun 14 2007 02:36 PM

You were searching for regional airports.

sharpie Jun 14 2007 02:41 PM

Both Baraboo and Sarasota, FL have circus museums. Can't imagine all of those other places do too but I'll gues "circus museums" or something about circuses.

smg58 Jun 14 2007 03:26 PM

All those towns are mentioned in that Johnny Cash song?

Kid Carsey Jun 14 2007 03:46 PM

They all have Wal-Marts in or very close by?

Willets Point Jun 14 2007 04:01 PM

I don't believe there's room on the steep slopes of Harlem for a regional airport nor would a country singer talk about visiting there. On the other hand, at least you have guesses. I'm totally stymied.

Kid Carsey Jun 14 2007 04:05 PM

They had room for a Wal-Mart though in Harlem. I spot checked a dozen because one of those towns had a shopping center owned by my long time employer that got Wal-Marted into oblivion.

Didn't have time to investigate each google listing. Are each of the places where at least three states come together? Later

It looks like a lot of local officials need to come up with a more original slogan!

I would've never gotten that.

RealityChuck Jun 15 2007 08:42 AM

You would have thought someone had opted for "A Real Nice Place to Raise Your Kids Up." ;)

Willets Point Jun 15 2007 08:48 AM

I always liked that sign on Brooklyn Bridge: "BROOKLYN: A nice place to visit, a great place to live!"

Benjamin Grimm Jun 15 2007 09:18 AM

Now when you enter Brooklyn the sign says "How sweet it is!" and when you're leaving it says, "Fuhgeddaboutit!"

TheOldMole Jun 15 2007 12:57 PM

And at the Last Exit to Brooklyn?
