To eliminate confusion, anything that would run from primarily from 1:30 to 7:30, or from 10:30 from 4:30 on a clock will be the cutoff for what is north/south. To check disputes, I will use a ruler or other edge and draw a line between terminuses to determine primary direction.

I think we know, based on the other thread. Damn, not a good start for me...

the folk festival itself might be close to an ace...sounds like a horrible time and I can't imagine lots of people going there.

but the answer regina for this game will probably be a sheep.

The correct possible answers:

Edmonton
Victoria
Winnipeg
Fredericton
St John's
Halifax
Toronto
Charlottetown
Regina
Yellowknife
Iqaluit
Whitehorse

Aaand I probably have the sheep for the second question too.

How many others said Chicagoland?

think i went st louis

Didn't see the reveal had started. My Vancouver/Victoria assumption was a good one.

meh, DC

Cincinnati

and wtf, even st johns would at least have been valid

i was going to go philly but not sure if it's actually close enough to delaware/NJ, and wasn't sure if DC technically counts as a state

Had no idea on any correct answers for this. Can't remember what I guessed.

Sorry to be picking nits, but Yellowknife, Whitehorse and Iqaluit are the capitals of territories, not provinces.

Louisville, ftw!

One is the sheep, the other is a two pointer (the aces wouldn't be recognizable, and I had the picture before I got a couple of late entries that bumped that city from ACE)

aren;t they the same place?

Not a nitpick at all. We demand a recount!

An excellent start. Not.
I could only think of KC for the second which I suppose is the sheep answer. Thought maybe something up north splits with Canada but wasn't sure.

deleted my outbox...can't remember if i said philly or jacksonville.

C'mon, one of those!

Damn, I was thinking about going Toledo, pussed out and went Chicagoland, and Toledo would've counted too.

meh, chiefs, redskins, same difference

2. Name any US metropolitan area with a population of over 500,000 that spreads into two or more states.
