Hmmm that seems pretty tough, however with 15 million people rely on this river for water it seems that (looks at a US map) that the Delaware River seems logical as Philadelphia is roughly home to 4 million people (Metro Area) and that area of the US is the most populated (well the Bosnywash) the Boston-New York-Washington Corridor. So anyway yes i will say the Delaware River.

Question 13

 

This state is the 11th largest state in the United States. With a great beachfront, this state depends on its agriculture and manufacturing industries. This state was also home to the first miniature golf course. What state could this be?

---

 

[Traffic_Jam 0]

I believe that state would be Michigan.

[Mikeaut1 261]

Traffic_Jam was incorrect, but I looked back into my question and realized there was a misunderstanding. The question meant to say this state is the 11th most populous state in the US. So I will award Traffic_Jam 5 points. The correct answer was North Carolina. Again I am sorry for the misunderstanding. Won't happen again!

Is the answer Boston Massachusetts?

[blaze 0]

i wanna play

[RadioheadFan 1]

Could it be St. Louis, Missouri?

[blaze 0]

BOSTON

[rustalot42684 0]

seattle?

[amal81 3]

seattle, WA

[Fairlane500 8]

I'm going to agree with Boston, but I can say that it is definetely not Seattle. Though the University of Washington's site may have at one time been alongside a river, today it is alongside the Montlake Cut and Portage Bay, also I'd hope 5.8 mil don't live around Seattle, there are only just over 6 mil in my home state.

Plus, anymore calling the Mariners great would be a stretch.

 

But for a chance at points, I'm going to throw in Ft. Worth, Texas as a guess.

[Mikeaut1 261]

WOW! Lots of responses! I am going to have to say that MiniMark was correct, he answered Boston, Mass before anyone else did. +10. MiniMark takes the lead!

At the moment I cannot supply a question, but I will later this afternoon. So check back later.

Home to such landmarks such as Camden Yards and the Inner Harbor, this city is major city and is proximity to the country's capital. What city is this?

---

 

[Duke87 1,070]

Baltimore, Maryland

And how can a Yankee fan say that Boston is home to a great baseball team? Considering your avatar, I'd definitely wriiten that off as a wrong answer!

[Mikeaut1 261]

Duke87 is correct! +10! Welcome to the game! And to answer your question Duke, even though I am a devout Yankee Fan, I wasn't going to write the question in my opinion, or else I would've written, Boston is home to the suckiest baseball team on the planet! . But I wrote it according to their actual records, they're record is 81 - 56. And they've previously won the World Series. ONLY ONCE THOUGH. And it WONT happen again. Anyway... here is the next question.
