Kudos to NPR's Car Talk guys for this interesting puzzler:"There is only one city in the United States whereby traveling along the four compass points, the first state you reach is the same--no matter which direction you choose. Name the city and the state."
While there may be only one "city" that fits this description (answer Friday), I found at least one additional location in America that fits this description. There may be more.... do you know of any? (Thanks to Al Cyclone for pointing out this great riddle!)

ReplyDeleteIt seems like there are many points like this along state borders that follow rivers (e.g. TX/OK, northern KY, eastern NE, MT/ID, western MS, etc.)
ReplyDeleteStamford, CT?
ReplyDeleteMy guess for the other one is St. George, GA.
ReplyDeleteThis riddle contradicts itself. There are many settlements in the US where this description fits. It may be a stretch to call them cities, though.
ReplyDeleteCorona, Tennessee
Dozaville, Illinois
Rome, Indiana
Washington Island, Wisconsin
Tottanville, New York (I guess you can call this a city since it is in a metropolitan area)
Orleans Cross Roads, West Virginia
Campbells, West Virginia
Green Ridge, West Virginia
Mexico, Maryland
Wiley Ford, West Virginia
Marlow, West Virginia
Michigan Park, D.C.
Stamford, Connecticut
Carter Lake, Iowa
