Ypres (French pronunciation: [ipʁ], English: /ˈiːprə/; Dutch: Ieper, pronounced [ˈipər]) is a Belgian municipality located in the Flemish province of West Flanders.

During World War I, Ypres was the centre of intense and sustained battles between the German and the Allied forces. During the war, Tommies nicknamed the city "Wipers."

The famous Cloth Hall was built in the thirteenth century. During this time also, cats, then the symbol of the devil and witchcraft, were thrown off Cloth Hall, possibly due to the belief that this would get rid of evil demons. Today, this act is commemorated with a triennial Cat Parade through town.

Sparks, Nevada! Reno and Sparks used to be separate cities but growth has kind of merged the two. They do have a rather nice area downtown and John Asquagas Nugget casino is world famous! (and they have some of the best food in the area I think). They say though that Reno is so close to hell you can see Sparks

From the City of Sparks website:

There may not be another city that came to life in quite the unique way Sparks did. It's the tailor-made town, custom ordered by the Southern Pacific Railway Company. In 1902, there was nothing but marshland and ranches four miles east of Reno.

Over one hundred years later, the City of Sparks has over 87,000 residents and continues to grow with thriving businesses in our family centered community.

You live in Eugene? She has lived there and in Springfield since she moved to Oregon over 10 years ago. I will let her know. She is actually a member of PT but only visits when I tell her to look at something.

I guess I'll take the next letter too!

I found a city at random for this letter

Omsk (Russian: Омск) is a Russian city located in southwestern Siberia and the administrative center of Omsk Oblast. It is Russia's second-largest city east of the Ural Mountains. The distance from Omsk to Moscow is 2,700 kilometres (1,700 mi).

In imperial times, Omsk was the seat of the Governor General of Western Siberia, and later of the Governor General of the Steppes. For a brief period during the Russian Civil War in 1918–1920, it served as the capital of the anti-Bolshevik Russian State and held the imperial gold reserves.

Omsk is the administrative centre of Siberian Cossack Voisko, it also serves as the see of the bishop of Omsk and Tara, as well as the administrative seat of the Imam of Siberia.

I have no clue. But I'd have to say neither. I don't think she's much of a sports fan in general.
