Like, can you name just a few large cities in certain regions, none at all, wtf is the USA, etc.
The USA is geopolitically isolated in a rather unique way on the global stage where this is an interesting perspective.
I am from the USA but I want to say that for any foreigner who’s seen the movie Groundhog Day (or news about the occasion), the answer is Punxutawney.
Filmed in Woodstock, IL.
My childhood is a lie!
Gary Indiana?
It’s weird that 60 years ago Gary would not be considered a small city. Went to shit real fast.
Tbh I don’t even remember why I know the name.
Hell, Michigan. Uniquely memorable, for some reason.
Hell is always a good answer.
Pflugerville. My mother has lived there for a while. She moved back to Europe when she got pregnant.
I’ll be honest with ya, no fucking clue which of them is smaller or not.
Nantucket (pop 14,255 according to Wikipedia) and Los Alamos (13,179)
I once knew a man from Nantucket…
Did you, by any chance, call him Ishmael?
Ask it the other way, too. What’s the smallest European city Americans can name?
Muff, Ireland. They have a fantastic diving club.
It would have been Fucking, Austria. But it finally broke under the pressure and was renamed. I have not dedicated any brain cells to remembering what exactly its new name is, which I guess is the intended effect.
Vatican City.
I’ve likely seen some smaller ones in places like Tom Scott videos, but can’t name any offhand.
Stratford-upon-Avon ~100k (had to look up the population)
Or if England no longer counts for European, Corniglia, Italy (part of Cinque de Terra)Hell Norway population: 1589
Gimmelwald Switzerland, but I’ve been there a few times and the pretense was never being there lol
Best town in the world.
Cooter, Missouri
How old is this crowd? No one knows Luckenbach?
I visited NYC for less than a week.
Des Moines , Iowa.
For Canada it’s probably Sherbrooke or
jonviveJonquière.Bonus game: name the linking theme and specific things that link those places. Hint: it’s not french things.
EDIT: Famous metal bands come from there. Slipknot from Des Moines, Gorguts from Sherbrooke, Voivod from Jonquiere
For me it’s mostly places in the middle of nowhere that popped up on Google Maps because they had the same name as a city this side of the pond that I was looking for. I know there are several tiny Londons, a tiny Prague, and iirc even a tiny Poland
Bluff, Utah. Met a bloke online who told a joke off it, which only made sense after searching for “A bland bluff in Utah.” Which brought up another town.
Muldraugh? I guess it has to be somewhat small, it sure feels like it when it’s full of zombies
Jackman, Maine. Went once, not a very interesting place, about 1000 people there, in the middle of fucking nowhere
