Jeez! Peter, you can delete the one above.

And this was #3000.

Jeez! You can't add an image from the edit!

That's OK, your next one will be 3001 and that's a Rick model, isn't it??

Happy 3000, John

Oddly enough, the Southwest of the U.S. is pretty much Arizona and New Mexico ... also, there is a distinction among Northern Illinois, Southern Illinois, and Central Illinois, in spite of the state being only 384 miles from north to south.

And let's not forget SouthBySouthWest which is in Austin, TX.

California is almost a country by itself, doesn't it have the world's sixth largest economy(or something close to that?) And Arr-nuld as it's supreme leader- nuff said!

In Georgia, we have Atlanta (A State within a State) and the rest of Georgia. lol

Thanks, all!

Michigan is kinda unique in having two peninsulas, upper and lower. We then designate the bridge area as northern lower Michigan, then the Thumb Area, central Michigan, SW Michigan, and Eastern Michigan, otherwise known as Detroit.

We've had a joke here in MI for a long time that MI and OH had a war and Ohio lost - that's how they got Toledo. But since going there a lot with my daughter at UT, I believe MI lost and that's how we got Detroit...... DOH!

[appologies to all who are offended!]

Only So.Cal. newscasters call this "the southland". Then of course, there's the "inland empire"...yet another lame term applied to part of So.Cal. for marketing purposes no doubt.

There was a billboard of the the 405 freeway a couple of years ago for a Spanish speaking news station that referred to this as "Mexifornia". If I'd only had a Howitzer......

John you forgot to mention that those who live in the UP (Upper Peninsula) are Yoopers and all of us Trolls live under the bridge. LOL

I hear a lot of "Inland Empire" up here in the high desert, mostly referring to the big growing area south and east of the Palm Springs area ...
