Gee I got that one. I must be Americanising.
Jimbo -- you'll be Americanising when you start to spell it Americanizing.
If I read it right I may have had a clue, but I read WORD city instead of WORLD city. I live in OR, I should have had a heads up.
Way to go OREGON! Even though I live in Washington... It's fun when things relate to nearby places...not much happens here in the Pacific nw, can you tell?
Very easy, got it in like 2 seconds. Partly because I live an hour from Salem, too.
Got me stumped but fun. Keep up the good job.
I must be tired becasue this one flew right over my head. I could not figure it out and then I seen the answer! It is a head slapper for sure.
that was a good one
I got this one, but my first thought was Dover, name after Dover England. But I'm not sure I would call it a world city.
