Name a City Game......... Geography anyone

[kokopup]

We have a name game that seems to have run it's course. I thought we might try a little different twist on the Name game. In this game you name a city that its first letter is the same as the last letter of the last city named. With this thread we want a little additional information though. In addition to the city name we need to also name the Country , Provience or State where the city is located. A little additional info would be great.

I will start with Amsterdam , Netherlands ...is the capital and largest city, located in the province of North Holland ..... population of around 1.36 million (with suburbs)

NOTE: the next city name starts with M

Eagles Mere, Pennsylvania, USA - is a beautiful little town in Northern Pennsylvania. There is also a beautiful lake there and in the winter time when the lake freezes they cut blocks of ice from the lake and make a toboggan slide which is very fun!

Next is another E!

Edinburgh, Scotland. A lovely place to be - when it's not raining!

Denver! Which is also a lovely place, currently buried under a lot of snow.

So, the next town will start with "R."

Rockford Illinois. Second largest city in the state of Illinois. On the Rock River and 80 miles from Chicago. Hometown of Janet Lynn. Olympic figure skater.

Dundee in Scotland! Famous for Jute, Jam and Journalism - jute, a huge trade for the city at the time of the industrial revolution - the jam refers to marmalade which was supposedly invented in the city. Actually recipes exist from centuries earlier, but Keiller's of Dundee were the first to mass market it. Journalism - refers to the publishing firm DC Thomson which remains a big employer at the present day.

Eugene Oregon ......... Eugene's motto is "The World's Greatest City of the Arts and Outdoors."

Next E

Evanston Illinois! Home of Northwestern University and beside Lake Michigan.

Evanston was "dry" until 1972 so all the college students had to "cross the border" into the neighboring city of Chicago if they wanted booze.

(And a town I would love to live in!)

Norman, Oklahoma....nice college town, home to the University of Oklahoma...not far from the capital of Oklahoma City.
