It’s Salt Lake City’s turn in CAPITALS. I’ve never been to Salt Lake City, but three things come to mind: 1. Religion 2. Winter Olympics 3. Gorgeous scenery Going with the first one (with a little of the third thrown in for good measure), I can only imagine that the city is less than bustling on Sundays. Of course the same can be said for many cities, but hey – it’s my project and I’ll make stuff up if I want...

Now up in CAPITALS: Lansing, Michigan. Lansing has the dubious honor of being the only capital that isn’t also the county seat (excluding states that don’t have counties). Is this useful knowledge? Of course not. I’m not in the habit of dispensing useful...

Another oh-so-useful factoid: Other names considered for Helena were Pumpkinville and Squashtown. This is why you should abstain from naming cities during major...

Let’s inject some southern charm into CAPITALS with Birmingham, Alabama. With a nickname like “The Gump,” Montgomery should be treated like a very large, threatening man named “Tiny.” The Gump could be a friendly little city fit for a good time, or the Gump could be a city ready to knock you down just because it can. Until you know for sure, tread lightly and don’t make eye...

It’s time to head to the ATL in CAPITALS. Atlanta is known for many things – some good, some not so good – but one theme seems to rule them all: traffic. Atlanta has it. Lots of it. All the time. So sit back, relax, and wait for the traffic to clear on one of the 65 Peachtree-named streets. You’re gonna be there for a...
