50 Stars: Americans, teach us about your country.

I just bought a few cases of cherries from one of the other distributors in the produce terminal.....definatley on their last legs. they're pretty much finished for the season.
 
Hahaha cool thanks! :)

Can I just say, I LOVE this thread! Great idea Jam.
Being on the opposite side of the planet, I knew little to no facts about America before BL. And this thread's only up to the 6th state and I already want to come and travel the US!

Learning is FUN! :D <3

*ahem* continue...
 
I like Atlanta. Little Five Points or whatever it's called has a small venue theater (can't think of the name) that I like. It's also a good place to people watch for its interesting and colorful characters.
 
Excellent discussion guys, keep it up.

Our next state is the one I probably know least about. In fact, I just realized that it is one of the Mississippi-bordering ones.

Can anyone tell me anything about Arkansas (that this map doesn't)?

Quite beautiful state, if I might add, and I hate trees but Arkansas is a wonderful place to visit. I wouldnt mind living there either

Oh yeah good luck finding a good radiostation outside Little Rock, lotsa AM jesus speak.
Also its quite an enjoyable drive, I suggest this state out of all to drive through! Its beautiful

Also the if traveling through Arkansas and need gas, do not stop in Cairo, there are no gas stations there
 
never been, but I did just read an interesting fact about it:

http://www.boingboing.net/2009/06/18/the-marshallese-in-a.html

The Marshallese diaspora can be traced to one man, a Marshallese man named John Moody who took a job at Tyson Chicken in the 1980s. When he returned home to the islands, he let everyone know that there were jobs available at Tyson and that he would help people get setup in Springdale. Unfortunately the Arkansas Marshallese diaspora hasn't been much of a boon to the islands, with most of the money going out of the islands and into Arkansas to help with the expenses of America. Today roughly 6,000-8,000 Marchellese live in Springdale, and at a given time fifty percent of Tyson Chicken's floor staff are from the Marshall islands. The Marshallese do not generally wear shoes inside, and work at Tyson barefoot with mesh booties covering their feet. You will also note a large number of CB antennas on cars in the area as the Marshallese tend to use CB radios, as they do on the islands, rather then cell phones to communicate.
