Sometimes I kind of forget how big the country is. I’m looking at the map trying to figure out what state and drew a blank. Couldn’t find a reference point like a medium sized city I recognized.

Based on the ethnicity and dialect of the newscaster, I’m going to go with Nashville, Japan.

Could also be Nashville, Pennsylvania (real borough). But we don't have the Cumberland River snaking through the region, just the Susquehana.

Last I checked Pennsylvania was in the USA, this one is in Japan.

I learned of Nashville Indiana just yesterday when asking Alexa when a musician will be playing again in Nashville (I’m a native too) and she said next week. SCORE! I inquired about the venue and realized it’s in Nashville Indiana. Whomp whomp.

It’s weird how much of a blind spot in my geography knowledge Tennessee and Kentucky are. I very rarely think about either.

My house is literally on this map and you gave me a good chuckle from that.

u/Kind_Resort_9535 1d ago

I’m from Iowa, so people don’t really think about my state either lol, I’m guessing most could only name one city maybe 3 if they watch college sports lol

u/Twopad6529 1d ago

Whiskey or Fried Chicken?

u/Kind_Resort_9535 1d ago

Don’t eat KFC, and a Distillery near me makes a good Bourbon that I tend to stick with lol.
