Guess again!


  • We've moved around a lot since the last one, so here we go…

    City specific.

    First, the state:
    There are more recreational boats per capita (1 boat per 6 people) here than any other state...and I hate the water!
    The first bus line was opened here and grew to become Greyhound Bus Lines.
    The snowmobile was invented here. I'm glad I have a jacket!

    Now, the city:
    There are more golfers here per capita than any other city in the US...I wonder if they'll let me chase the balls?
    In December, 1889, the library in this city is said to be the first to create the Children's Section.
    It is possible to live, eat, shop and work in the downtown area without ever going outside. But I can't hold it that long!
    The scenes from the opening credits of The Mary Tyler Moore Show were filmed here.
    Tonka Trucks were invented just outside the borders of this city. (Nobarkus and Buddy would probably like to know this.) :)
    The neighbor most closely associated with this city was originally named "Pig's Eye."

    Cheers!

  • My Mother was born there. That's all I'm saying. Nice pic of AJ!


  • Of course I know this one….. :)


  • The Mary Tyler Moore reference gave it away for me. LOVE all the trivia you include. This is my "learn something new every day" thread!!

  • Houston

    I think our podengo might be flying out of there tomorrow…
    I also love these trivia questions..great fun..


  • I don't know … I'll google Tonka and Mary Tyler Moore.
    ...or, you could tell me? Tonkaland? :confused:

    I know, we are so excited, they day is already going too slow..come on 1 pm, come on…


  • Can't give away the answer to the rest of you - I live 20 north of the downtown of this city!
    AJsHuman - I thought of asking if you would let us know where you're trucking next (so people and dogs could meet up) but then your fun games wouldn't continue! Love these.


  • my guess is St. Paul/Minneapolis, MN. Had an uncle that owned a bakery there for years.


  • I agree with GenJMar - because of the Mary Tyler Moore connection.


  • Okay, I'll have to start making these tougher. I think everybody got this one. But it's still fun. :D

    There will probably be another coming in a few days…..;)

    I am not in your area, but ... you should know that dog training is about teaching you how to interact with your dog, as opposed to teaching your dog how to do things. Most area Kennel Clubs offer training where you are your dogs partner in the class. The things you will learn will last your lifetime. I applaud the non-punitive approach. A lot of people fly off the handle when their dog chews on the wrong thing, or doesn't quite have potty training down. One of the best things you can do is give them love when they do it right and don't react when they don't. Recognize that he's just a pup. You can trade an acceptable chew toy for your shoes, and you can avoid the problem by closing the closet door so your pup can't get to your shoes. Accidents will happen and learning to potty doesn't happen overnight. Just provide a lot of verbal love when the pup gets it right and don't react when he doesn't. Love and praise are the best tools in your training bag. Congrats on your pup. Can't wait to hear about all of your adventures!

    @elbrant Yes, she's good an patient sometimes, I've been taking pics of her from day 1 so she's used to it, I'm allowed a couple of mins and no more though.
