Here's a two-fer from Pennsylvania...

Intercourse

Reamstown

The best small towns in America are the ones in the Pacific North West where it rains all the time and most of the residents are taciturn weirdos

That sounds like a good description of every Alaska-based TV show I've ever seen.

I'd rather visit Scotland for that kind of environment. They have the cool accent there as a bonus

I wonder how large outer towns like Eldridge, or Bluegrass, and Walcott can get? How big can the Quad Cities get? My friend just bought a house in California, and I told him he could have got 5 houses in the quad cities for that price he paid. Why cram in super large cities when there are so many smaller towns in America. Rant finished/

Bluegrass, Iowa & Buffalo, Iowa; are closer together than I thought.

Davenport probably still going to get more downtown stuff

Was that at the 7 sisters cliffs? I went there last year for a holiday :)

I am definitely going to rake through this thread when I book a holiday to America. It’s been postponed so many times now because of covid.

Just remember Americans say "vacation". If you say you're on holiday here people will just ask you what holiday you're celebrating.

... also, petrol is a liquid called gas, while "a solid" is a favour.

...and "pudding" is "dessert" (which can sometimes be a pudding).

Yeah British pudding scares the **** outta me.

I can't imagine why, Batlord: Spotted Dick, Flummery, Eton Mess, Lardy Cake, Flies Graveyard - they all sound delicious to me, but as ribbons suggests, sometimes all you get for pudding is pudding. :(

UK desserts (erm, puddings) have the best names! Thanks for that appealing list, Lisna. Flies' Graveyard* is one I hadn't heard of - sort of a cousin to our Shoofly pie (but Shoofly pie is blech, imo).

*Just read that my beloved Garibaldi biscuits (which I purchase in British specialty shops here) are considered flies' graveyards in the UK.

:laughing: Vacation/holiday will likely be the least of my worries.


British/American language differences are hilarious. I don't say pudding though :laughing:

I'll go check out Champaign now on Google Earth. I have definitely traveled through the town but never spent a day there

I heard that Old 97 tune and went looking.

I remember driving to a party there once a long time ago.

I need to head states side at some point. My wife has family in Utah. From what I've seen there, it's a beautiful state.

I also need to go back to Wisconsin to visit my wife's uncle. He lives a short drive from Madison.

In the meantime, I have to wait for my kids' passports to arrive.

Champaign has a big downtown area and more people than I thought.

Champaign is an interesting name. I wonder how that name came about. I was thinking it was somehow derived from the French word champagne, but I was wrong, well according to wikipedia anyway.

Started to google it, looks nice

Houston were i live i just one big ass polluted city :P

That is a big area!

knockin do's dine!
