Miami Atlanta Houston Chicago Miami 4 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: MIAMI Answer: The city of Miami was founded by a woman—the only female founder of a major American city. In 1874, Julia Tuttle, who hailed from Cleveland, headed to Florida to visit her father, who lived in the area. Despite the mosquito-infested swamps, she liked what she saw. After her father died and left her his land, she purchased more acreage and then talked railroad builder Henry Flagler into extending tracks southward. In 1896 the city she had founded was incorporated; by the 1920s, it was a bustling metropolis. In 2010, a 10-foot tall statue of Julia Tuttle, the “Mother of Miami,” was erected in Bayfront Park.

Sea Lion Bison Moose Grizzly Bear Grizzly Bear 4 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: GRIZZLY BEAR Answer: The California state flag consists of a white background with a grizzly bear above the words “California Republic” and a red stripe; in the upper hoist corner is a single red star. The flag was designed by William Todd (nephew of Mary Todd Lincoln, wife of Abraham Lincoln), and officially adopted as the state flag of California in 1911. The bear on the original flag was modeled after the last California grizzly bear in captivity. The bear, named "Monarch", was captured in 1889 by newspaper reporter Allen Kelley, at the behest of William Randolph Hearst.

Members phkrause Posted June 15, 2020 Author Members Posted June 15, 2020 21 hours ago, phkrause said: What is the only state that recognizes Flag Day as a legal holiday? New Hampshire Wyoming Pennsylvania Virginia Pennsylvania Answer: Flag Day is celebrated on June 14, marking the adoption of the American flag by the Continental Congress in the First Flag Act on June 14, 1777. Though Flag Day is observed nationwide, it is not a federal holiday. Pennsylvania is the only state that recognizes it as a legal holiday. Bernard J. Cigrand, a school teacher in Wisconsin, reportedly spent years trying to get Congress to declare June 14 as a national holiday. Despite his attempts, Flag Day was never officially established as a federal holiday. Today, he is generally regarded as the “Father of Flag Day” due to his tireless advocation to establish an annual observance for the nation’s flag.

King Tut Howard Hughes Malcolm X The Elephant Man The Elephant Man Answer: In 1987, Michael Jackson offered $1 million to buy the skeleton of the "Elephant Man" to add to his collection of rare and unusual memorabilia. The London Hospital Medical College, where the skeleton is on display, politely turned down Jackson's offer. John Merrick, who is better known as the "Elephant Man" was a hideously deformed man with a rare disease who died in 1890 and inspired the hit movie 'Elephant Man.' In rejecting the offer, the hospital said the skeleton was not for sale. The skeleton of the Elephant Man has been preserved at the Royal London Hospital ever since 1890, the year of his death.

Texas Montana Alaska Ohio Montana Answer: Germany covers an area of approximately 137,988 square miles. The closest state to the size of Germany is Montana (147,040 square miles), making Montana only 6% larger than Germany. There is however a huge difference in the population between Germany and Montana. Germany has a populaton of around 83 million people while the state of Montana has a meager 1 million people. Germany would rank 4th in area among U.S. states right between Montana and New Mexico, while Texas is almost exactly double the size of Germany.

Tokyo Berlin Athens Vancouver Tokyo Answer: The 2020 Summer Olympics was scheduled to begin this summer in Tokyo, Japan. However, officials pushed the Olympics back to 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Tokyo 2020 Olympics will keep the same name for marketing and branding purposes despite being held in 2021. This marks the first time in history that the Summer Olympic Games have been postponed rather than cancelled (they were cancelled in 1916, 1940, and 1944). This will be the second time that Tokyo has hosted the Summer Olympics. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

Simpson Osama bin Laden Adolf Hitler Saddam Hussein Answer: Saddam Hussein was awarded the key to the city of Detroit in 1980. Saddam's bond with Detroit started a year earlier when Reverend Jacob Yasso of the Chaldean Sacred Heart Church publicly congratulated Hussein on his presidency. The compliment didn't go unnoticed. In response, Saddam sent the church $250,000. A year later, Yasso traveled to Baghdad as a guest of the Iraqi government, and was invited to Saddam's palace. Yasso presented Saddam with the key to the city, courtesy of then-Detroit mayor Coleman A. Young.
