    Question 86.
     
    A friend of yours is asking you where to go. He says the following: I really need to get to Oregon in a hurry. I'm starting out in LA. I think the interstate I have to take will run into Highway 299, and then into Highway 99 once I reach Oregon. So, what interstate am I taking?

    The Star Spangled Banner, written by Francis Scott Key, was made the national anthem on March 3, 1931, over 100 years after originally written in 1814 in Baltimore, Maryland.

    Seems to be all in order. Pretty good for a Canadian eh?

    Indianapolis, IN
    Columbus, OH
    Austin, TX
    Boston, MA

    I am assuming you mean capitals of states.

    STEX Collections

    By way of a "Thank You" gift, we'd like to send you our STEX Collector's DVD. It's some of the best buildings, lots, maps and mods collected for you over the years. Check out the STEX Collections for more info.

    Each donation helps keep Simtropolis online, open and free!

    Thank you for reading and enjoy the site!
