Fresno, California

https://static01.nyt.com/images/2017...esno-jumbo.jpg
Quote:

Fresno (/ˈfrɛznoʊ/ FREZ-noh; Spanish for '"ash tree"') is a city in and the county seat of Fresno County, California, United States. It covers about 112 square miles (290 km2)[12] in the center of the San Joaquin Valley, the southern portion of California's Central Valley.

Named for the abundant ash trees lining the San Joaquin River, Fresno was founded in 1872 as a railway station of the Central Pacific Railroad before it was incorporated in 1885. The city has since become an economic hub of Fresno County and the San Joaquin Valley, with much of the surrounding areas in the Metropolitan Fresno region predominantly tied to large-scale agricultural production.

The population of Fresno grew from 134,000 in 1960 to 428,000 in 2000.[13] With a census-estimated 2019 population of 531,576,[8] Fresno is the fifth-most populous city in California, the most populous inland city in California, and the 34th-most populous city in the nation.

Fresno is near the geographical center of California. It lies approximately 220 miles (350 km) north of Los Angeles, 170 miles (270 km) south of the state capital, Sacramento, and 185 miles (300 km) southeast of San Francisco. Yosemite National Park is about 60 miles (100 km) to the north, Kings Canyon National Park is 60 miles (100 km) to the east, and Sequoia National Park is 75 miles (120 km) to the southeast.

DAVENPORT RANKED AMONG BEST AMERICAN CITIES
Quote:

Davenport was ranked the 29th Best Small City in America by Resonance Consultancy that ranks cities around the world in a recently released report.

Davenport was the highest ranked of three Iowa Cities on the list, ahead of Iowa City (40) and Cedar Rapids (85). Ranked on six criteria, Davenport was ranked eighth for prosperity of the cities on the list, based on the income of citizens, the standard of living and the presence or absence of large, recognizable corporations.

The rankings consider metropolitan statistical areas of 100,000 to 500,000 in population.

“Distinguishing Davenport on the banks of the Mississippi is its status as the region’s economic powerhouse,” the report says, noting the presence of Kraft Heinz, Nestle Purina, and Deere & Company. “Not surprisingly, construction of hundreds of downtown apartments is underway to house those being drawn to the city.”

The report ranks Davenport 23rd for its cultural amenities, separately ranking the city 10th for nightlife and 21st for museums, specifically mentioning the Figge Art Museum.

I was just there a couple weeks ago, but it was right after that derecho event so things weren't quite back to normal yet. Camden II in Milan was a little messed up too. Fun little course though.

If I'd have known about that Figge museum, I'd have definitely gone through that.

Jealous, its exactly this week a year ago when I was last there. Milan is a nice town. Figge museum has had some ted talks I was interested in but never gone to see art. That deracho messed the quad cities bad from videos I saw online :o:

You can say that again. The breakfast place I went to didn't have any coffee, and the Mexican place I stopped at for lunch was out of tortilla chips all because of the storm...

Anchorage, Alaska

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchorage,_Alaska
Quote:

Anchorage (officially called the Municipality of Anchorage; Dena'ina: Dgheyay Kaq'; Russian: Анкоридж) is a unified municipal consolidated city-borough in the U.S. state of Alaska, on the West Coast of the United States. With an estimated 288,000 residents in 2019,[6] it is Alaska's most populous city and contains 39.37% of the state's population; among the 50 states, only New York has a higher percentage of residents who live in its most populous city. The Anchorage metropolitan area, which includes Anchorage and the neighboring Matanuska-Susitna Borough, had a population of 396,317 in 2019, accounting for more than half the state's population. At 1,706 square miles (4,420 km2) of land area, the city is the fourth-largest by area in the United States and larger than the smallest state, Rhode Island, which has 1,212 square miles (3,140 km2).[7][8]

Anchorage is in Southcentral Alaska, at the terminus of the Cook Inlet, on a peninsula formed by the Knik Arm to the north and the Turnagain Arm to the south.[9] The city limits span 1,961.1 square miles (5,079.2 km2), encompassing the urban core, a joint military base,[10] several outlying communities and almost all of Chugach State Park.[11]

Due to its location, almost equidistant from New York City and Tokyo, Anchorage lies within ​9 1⁄2 hours by air of nearly 90% of the industrialized world.[12] For this reason, Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport is a common refueling stop for international cargo flights and home to a major FedEx hub, which the company calls a "critical part" of its global network of services.[13]

Anchorage has won the All-America City Award four times: in 1956, 1965, 1984–85, and 2002, from the National Civic League.[14] Kiplinger has named it the United States' most tax-friendly city.[15]

All of those are on horizontal surfaces, while a mural is surely vertical. WFSB 3 might as well be calling this a window:-

The Doors - Peace Frog

There's blood in the streets it's up to my ankles
(She came) Blood in the streets it's up to my knee
(She came) Blood in the streets in the town of Chicago
(She came) Blood on the rise it's following me
Think about the break of day
She came and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair

(She came) Blood in the streets runs a river of sadness
(She came) Blood in the streets it's up to my thigh
(She came) Yeah the river runs red down the legs of a city
(She came) The women are crying red rivers of weepin'
She came in town and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair

Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind

Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven
Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice
Blood in my love in the terrible summer
Bloody red sun of fantastic L.A

Blood screams her brain as they chop off her fingers
Blood will be born in the birth of a nation
Blood is the rose of mysterious union

There's blood in the streets it's up to my ankles
Blood in the streets it's up to my knee
Blood in the streets in the town of Chicago
Blood on the rise it's following me
