Spokane kind of rules, no way it’s the worst city in WA. The place everyone shat on was the Tri-Cities area so Richland, Pasco and Kennewick probably split the vote if you were using actual city names as qualifiers.

*Special note about Iowa, in which I've likely spent at least a good 100 hours in, covering every minute of the day, without having actually ever stopped for the night.

I've tried, but there's too much guesswork.
It does make for a pretty good argument against the electoral college, seeing the states you've been to vs the actual part of the states you've been to.

sometimes geographic determinism feels so, so good
Not a single pumpkin pie, get that map outta here.

pumpkin pie is an atrocity with the appearance and consistency of baby shit

Ok but I have lived in Virginia for 40+ years and never seen a lemon pie served on Thanksgiving. 8 years in Missouri I saw exactly zero blueberry pies served on Thanksgiving. Blueberries are not even remotely seasonal, people!
The pies they are not talking about are pumpkin and apple (both seasonal and classic). Of those pies, only pecan pie belongs in a Thanksgiving tableau.
Fourth of July? Sure, bring your cherry, key lime, blueberry pies. They are appropriate then. But not Thanksgiving, sheesh.

OK, but just go to the grocery store. They have food all year round.

This map gives you a rough sense of all the ways U.S. land is used. Much of U.S. land serves specific purposes, such as the 2 million acres devoted to golf courses or the 3 million acres for airports.https://t.co/WkDPqg3rwv pic.twitter.com/FUfKYZhy2L— Farm Policy (@FarmPolicy) January 11, 2020
