The largest suburban community in the United States is?

[poops2u 2]

Mesa, Arizona!?!?!?!?

[Cjah 15]

The largest suburban community in the United States is Mesa Arizona...

edit damn I hate when that happens.....

[Mikeaut1 261]

That is correct! I thought I woulda tricked some people into thinking it was Mississauga, which is larger but Mesa, but in Canada. Good work, poops2u!

Question 63.

The windiest city in the United States is located in this state. Past presidents from here include Dwight D. Eisenhower. Also the state's weirdest abolished law was that you couldn't serve ice cream on top of chery pie! Also, the state won the Most Beautiful License Plate for a State award in the 1980s. What state is this?

[poops2u 2]

I believe that would be Kansas, and,to name a city, Dodge City, with an average windspeed of 14.something.

[Mikeaut1 261]

Correct.

6 Phoenix, Arizona

7 San Diego, California

8 Dallas, Texas

9 San Antonio, Texs

10 Detroit, Michigan

 

4 Industries are

Automobiles in Detroit, Steel in Chicago (well Chicago area), Manufacturing and Entertainment in Los Angeles and New York City for Finanical (makes sense to me)

I hate to break your heart minimark, but the question is for the cities in increasing order (either that or I'm making a terribly embarrassing mistake)...So, without further ado, the ten largest cities in increasing order are:

1. Detroit, MI
2. San Antonio, TX
3. Dallas, TX
4. San Diego, CA
5. Phoenix, AZ
6. Philadelphia, PA
7. Houston, TX
8. Chicago, IL
9. Los Angeles, CA
10. New York City, NY

The industries:
New York City: Commerce and other finance related things
Los Angeles: Entertainment
Houston: Energy (Petroleum etc.)
Phoenix: Believe it or not, aerospace engineering (check it)

-P2U

[MiniMark 7]

Yes now i realize that he wants them in increasing order. Mind you i havent had too much sleep in the past couple days. But mind you when i think of increasing order i think of 1, 2, 3, 4 etc as decreasing your stepping down from the number 10. 9, 8, 7.

Thats my 2 cents. Either way we can always split the 5 pts if needed

[poops2u 2]

Yup, thats true. He didn't state whether he wanted the cities or the number for the city in decreasing order. Tricky question...kind of like those AP exams (GRR). I guess maybe well split!

[Cjah 15]

Yeah I would have answered this too,but I was confused and didn't want to screw up and get laughed at....

Also alot of aerospace engineering occurs here in L.A. and alot of it happens in the neighboring city of Pasadena....

[Mikeaut1 261]

Poops2u and Minimark will split 10 points in half!

I'm sorry for the confusion. I should've said increasing order of population.

Question 65.

This city was settled second in the 13 original colonies after Jamestown, Virginia.

A) Richmond
B) Williamsburg
C) New York
D) Albany

[Cjah 15]

I suck at old US history.....hmm maybe Williamsburg....

[Duke87 1,070]

New York, but it was by the Dutch, not the English.

[Mikeaut1 261]

The city I was looking for was Albany. After the settlement of Jamestown Virginia, many settlers moved upwards, north on the Hudson, and settled in Albany. No points will be rewarded.

Question 66.

Name the 4 largest cities in California. (Please include populations as of 2000.)

[Alabaster 0]

2. San Diego - 1,259,532

 

3. San Jose - 900,443

 

4. San Francisco - 764,049

[Mikeaut1 261]

That is correct!! Nice work!!

quote>

I believe thats the State of Florida.

[Fairlane500 8]

I agree with Florida, but just with the chance it is right, I'm going to say New Mexico.

[Eastwinn 6]

Isn't it New Jersey?

[jessyka who? 1]

I'm going with Massachusetts (sp?).

[Alabaster 0]

Well, they're not called the Tampa Bay Lightning for no reason!

St. Augustine is the oldest US city, dating back to the year 1565.

 

Definitely Florida.

[Mikeaut1 261]

Florida is right!
