A new game: CONNECT THE CITY BLOCK [Archive]

Dec 11, 2003, 7:46 PM

Hi Guys.

I have decided to make up a new GAME that could be fun, but, then again, not all of us are into fun stuff, but this is a game I call CONNECT THE CITY BLOCK. Don't worry it is only an experiment.

Here is how it works, what you do is you give any amount list of cities you can think and the key here is that they ALL HAVE TO HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON with eachother and all of you try to figure out what it is the cities have in common. But it doesn't have to be cities as a list, it could be things you list and we have to guess the city it is associated with, stuff like that. BTW, you can make up a list if you want to and we all can try to guess what the cities/things all have in common. The key here is that it must be associated with a CITY since it is CITY DISCUSSIONS we are dealing with and maybe you will learn something about some cities in North America and around the world.

I am going to try my first set of cities and you can try to guess what they all have in common:

Portland, Oregon
Welland, Ontario
Windsor, Ontario

Dec 11, 2003, 8:40 PM

I think a game like this has been done before...... a long, long time ago. :)

For those 3 cities you listed my guess is that they're all near a (or another) state's border.

ChathamKentMan

Dec 11, 2003, 8:44 PM

I think you get the idea there, no_name,

but actually, no that is not the connection in this case.

Although that was a fairly good guess. Portland and Windsor border a state indeed, but Welland does not quite, but is about 15 km from the Niagara border

no_name

Dec 11, 2003, 8:47 PM

Oh, I forgot to add, they're near a body of water (river or canal) as well as near a border.

OK, here's one. We'll call it List #2 so it won't be confused with the Portland/Welland/Windsor list.

Las Vegas
Austin
Oklahoma City
Birmingham
Greensboro
Norfolk
Richmond
Hartford
Providence
Rochester
Louisville
Grand Rapids

I think that's it.

No, that is not it for the Portland/Welland/Windsor list either.

spark317, I am gonna guess for all the cities on your list that they all have an American Hockey League team.

No, but that would have been a good list ! BTW, of the list, only Hartford, Providence, Norfolk, Rochester, and Grand Rapids have AHL teams.

I am going to try my first set of cities and you can try to guess what they all have in common:

Portland, Oregon
Welland, Ontario
Windsor, Ontario

well Portland and Welland (my home) are both "The Rose City."
Also they both have a lifting steel bridge as their "iconic" bridges ; Portland's crossing the Willamette and Welland's straddling the "Old" Welland Canal (which no longer lifts as the Welland Canal Bypass was built in 1972 moving the canal away from the downtown core).

spark317 - all of these cities have metropolitan area populations in or near the 1 million range - I think between 1 and 1.5 million in fact....actually I think Austin and Birmingham are below the 1M mark, but I'll take that as my guess anyway.

ChathamKentMan

Dec 12, 2003, 2:43 AM

WIGS got the connection between Windsor/Welland/Portland, exactly right. They all have the title ROSE in their city or are known as "THE ROSE CITY".

Nice work, WIGS!

Hmmm. The city name is the same as the county name in which they are located, with Richmond and Carson City as independent cities and Baton Rouge located in a Parish.

Speaking of capital cities, folks in Lee, Russell, and other counties at the extreme western tip of Virginia are closer to 8 other state capitals than Richmond:

Raleigh
Columbia
Atlanta
Nashville
Frankfort
Indianapolis
Columbus
Charleston

Just a little bit of trivia beyond the scope of this thread.

Some more bits of geographical trivia:

Canada is farther south than Michigan

Virginia is farther west than West Virginia (and Detroit too !)

Not counting Alaska, Minnesota is the northernmost state (though most people would say it is Maine or Washington)

The Delmarva Peninsula (comprising parts of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia), is actually an island. It is cut off the mainland by the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal - only 5 bridges keep it from floating off into the Atlantic. :)

I thought this one was a gimme, but evidently not...Birmingham, Louisville, and Denver are located inside a Jefferson County.

Denver is located in Denver County. The City and County are coextensive. Jefferson County, Colorado is a suburban county outside Denver.

I was about to say, Darrell... Denver is most definitely NOT in Jefferson County! :) I know this because I LIVE in Jefferson County, Colorado! Hahahaha

Hi...i have an interesting for you... what do ..

Los Angeles, US
Tokyo, Japan
Manilla, Philippines
Rome, Italy

..all have in common....

Hint.....think geological :???:

All located close to volcanic areas? All located along the Ring of Fire? All located near the borders of the Earth's plates? All are known for earthquakes? As a Geologist, these are the things I can think of off the top of my head!

:)

Well, at least LA, Tokyo, and Manilla fall into that category. Rome certainly has volcanism not too far away, but it's really not usually associated with the Ring of Fire! :D

Okay...think government.

Consolidated City/Regional governments? I know that all of these cities essentially take up a whole county, but I think it's more a suburbs having been annexed into the city thing... :)

Yeah, I think Consolidated City is the right term! :D

I'm thinking cities with their state's largest university, but I'm not sure. I know Columbus, Boulder, and probably Provo fit into that one, but I'm thinking that Penn State is larger than Penn, so maybe Philly doesn't fit. Not sure about Anderson, Indiana. Could that be University of Indiana???
