I wish LA were called KILLINGTOWN.

It's like when Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney thought they could just throw a musical production together out of sticks and straw.

Moving from Vermont to NH because they don't like high property taxes is like moving to Clownsylvania because you don't like face paint and seltzer. Crazy damn ski-hippies.

Not "moving" exactly, but you know, re-locating, in whatever sense.

Hey, Point Roberts used the 49th parallel as a paltry excuse to secede from Canada and be part of Washington State! (look at circle on map)

(granted, that's a more complex history, which may or may not have something to do with the infamous Pig Wars)

I can't say that website tells me much of the history of the place.

I want to know the gas prices, myself.

There really should be a nicely-written, interesting history of secessions and secession attempts, because pretty much every cool American history class I've taken has brought one or another up as anecdote at some point.

(There probably is one, I'll go check Amazon.)

Here's more history on Point Roberts and why it became the way it is.

Never mind the fact that Alaska has some minor trekking through Canada required if traveling by ground...

So does this mean Solvang, CA can secede and finally realise its goal become a REAL Danish city? If so, where will Michael Jackson get his Taco Bell fetish, then?

Meanwhile, 3000 miles away...

History on West Wendover, Nevada vs. Wendover, Utah. Interesting.

But what about the history of Kansas City, Missouri vs. Kansas City, Kansas?

If this secession is successful, US state puzzlemakers will weep.

People from New England, what do you expect

New Boston was seceded from Mass to NY since it was on a mountain inaccessible to the rest of Mass. Lawlessness prevailed there until NY authorities ere able to claim it for their own.

Today, it's mostly home to a golf course.
