I visited NYC for less than a week.

Des Moines , Iowa.

For Canada it's probably Sherbrooke or jonvive Jonquière.

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

How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now!

And for the other, I'm guessing either poutine or Joli Rouge cider.

Do they have either in des Moines?

nickwitha_k ,

Good question. Doubtful. So, not cider punk.

Correct. I mean... incorrect?

Either way, it's not cider punk. It is musical though.

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

The first I thought of was Dead Horse, Alaska. Permanent population 25 - 50, I understand.

I really can't recall where I first heard of it though.

I have probably heard of a few other odd ones like this.

That's where the "definitely just a balloon, don't pay any attention" landed after the Chinese spy balloon was shot down about a year ago.

At least that's the first time I heard of Dead Horse.

Smallest I know of is Lyle, Minnesota (population of 573). The only reason I know that is because I added all of the buildings there to OpenStreetMap - before and after photo on Mastodon.

In other words: who's played ticket to ride USA?

Smallest settlement I know would be Intercourse, Pennsylvania. Not a city by any stretch.

The next one that comes to mind is Jackson, Jackson Hole, Wyoming where we had an exchange student from 20+ years ago.

Flint, Michigan or Uvalde, Texas (I don't know which is smaller). I'm sure you can guess why.
