More navigable waterways than any other US state. (From there but no longer live there).
Minnesota?
No you are second guess of Minnesota. The answer is Alabama.
Cool fact!
Louisiana?
No…
Wisconsin orMinnesota(Doesn’t the name translate to Land of Many Lakes?)
It is true about the lakes in Minnesota but navigable would be traverse travel by maritime vessels. So no…
Wild guess but Rhode Island?
Nope… 😎
An estimated 132,000 miles of river and stream channels, representing the state’s 17 major river systems, are carved into Alabama’s landscape, with about 61 percent flowing permanently throughout the year and 39 percent flowing only intermittently during wetter times. At 1,438 miles, Alabama leads the nation in miles of navigable channels, with 16 lock-and-dam structures on six river systems. More than 20 hydroelectric generating facilities and 20 or more impoundments on smaller streams for public water supply have been built throughout the state. The total surface area of lakes, ponds, and reservoirs is 563,000 acres, and about 33.5 trillion gallons of water flow through Alabama’s river and stream channels every year. Also, Alabama’s underground water supplies are estimated at about 553 trillion gallons, or more than 16 times the amount of surface water.
Despite New being in the name of it, the “old” place was named many years after.
New Brunswick?
Newport? (if by “old” you mean British!)
New Mexico
Every easter, we go from door to door and beat girl’s backs with a whip made of braided rods. They give us sweets and alcohol for exchange.
Czech or Slovakia.
It’s Czech, indeed
I’ve got a few but I’ll go with:
The Guinness World Record Largest Open Sandwich; It was a barbecue pork bun (as of July 2010; dunno if the record still stands)
Ok. In retrospect this was way too obscure.
How about the town Pepsi was invented in?
We have a 1/2 scale copy of the Leaning Tower of Pisa
I don’t know the scale, but Saugus, Massachusetts - “Leaning Tower of Pizza”
Niles, IL
This wizard wins the cookie
Las Vegas? Seems like they have a half scale version of everything.
Nope, but its true, Vegas does seem to have every monument you can think of.
When I lived there, it was the city with the most parkland per capita in the US.
The US!
Nailed it.
If there’s water to be manipulated in a way to either keep it out, or to make land appear where water once was, they are going to hire people from here.
Swamp Germany!
Netherlands? Or Denmark.
Ding ding ding! Netherlands indeed.
I can go regular skiing on snow and water skiing on the ocean in the same day.
Vancouver?
You’re closer but unfortunately you went over. (I’m in California)
I was going to guess California because I used to live there. There’s also fun in the desert just a short drive away.
Italy?
We had the highest sheep:human ratio of any country. I think we still do, but I’m not sure.
New Zealand? Iceland?
NZ
An island of three sides.
Either Cyprus if you mean three bits controlled by different powers, or St Martin, which is sort of triangular?
Close, it’s Bermuda (Bermuda triangle reference)
There’s a word coined in this town’s specific dialect that means “catty corner, kitty corner, or diagonal”.
Hint: the first two syllables of that word are “anti”, though the “t” is not a full fricative stop.

The only possible word that comes to mind is “anticlockwise” used in (some parts of?) the UK instead of “counterclockwise”… but that doesn’t exactly match “diagonally”. Is it the word though?
The word is “antigogglin’”, pronounced: any-goggln. 🤓
Bonus hint: the area fought for the North in the Civil War.
North Carolina in the US?
Hello, FYI we moved to !casualconversation@lemm.ee
This one is too tough for me!
What do I win? 🤩🥳
Small children are taught to be afraid of the devil, but not THE Devil (in the US).
NJ
Ding ding ding
Watch out for the Jersey Devil.
We have two animals on our coat of arms neither of which can walk backwards.
And we eat them
Australia. I feel I’ve seen a kangaroo shuffle backwards in a fighting stance. But hearing an emu can’t walk backwards sounds ludicrous.
I’ve been told that this way they have no choice but to hold up the coat of arms.
The church I grew up attending was built in 1727
That doesn’t narrow it down much - sounds like you are in one of:
- Alsace (Saint Maurice)
- Bohol, Philippines (Baclayon)
- Bratislava (the cathedral)
- Carpeneto (San Giorgio)
- Cingoli (San Domenico)
- Derbyshire (St Swithin’s)
- Gothenburg (Nödinge)
- Hasselt (Virga Jesse)
- Lillehammer (Fåberg)
- Malta (St Anthony of Padua)
- Racconigi (Santa Maria Maggiore)
- Žďár nad Sázavou (Saint John of Nepomuk)
I’m going to guess Holmesfield?
Impressive list. This one is in the United States though.
Potpie is a soup, not a pie.
Pennsylvania?
Indeed! It may even be enough to get down to a specific region too.
