There is nothing but Dnipro
Dnipro is love
Dnipro is life
We are all Dnipro
#Dniproception
San Francisco beat Madison!
Your appeal certainly isn't local.
Damn! No Holland, MI.
I was just reading in Simon Kuper's column in the Financial Times last weekend that Holland is the heart of the Trump presidency. How can anyone who cares about giving the Donald a fair hearing not read Althouse?
I've got it! Erik Prince, the founder of Blackwater, is from Holland. He probably has the whole town routed through Dnipro.
Althouse, Erik Prince will expect your fealty. His sister is Betsy DeVos, the Secretary of Education. I expect lots of posts touting charter schools!
Paris Texas is Althouse Country!
Where are St. Louis, Salt lake City, Cleveland or Cincinnati?
The Roswell with aliens is Roswell, New Mexico. I have a photo of the sign pointing to the alleged "landing" site, if you would like.
Of course, you really need the althouse viewership per capita to make a meaningful comparison.
Although I'm sure Dinpro would win.
Come on Madison! We need to up our game!
What about the next 100?
66. I am not alone.
Roswell... I hope this is the one with the aliens
Over one million annually. Over a million more since Obama forced Catastrophic Anthropogenic Immigration Reform a.k.a. refugee crises. We are not alone.
Dnipro? That is a city controlled by Western Ukrainian forces. It seems that they are still spying on Americans, on behalf of the Obama faction, Clinton faction, Soviet-era relics?
Which Bellevue is it? Nebraska? Washington?
St. Louis, Salt lake City, Cleveland or Cincinnati
43, 66, and 52, respectively. Cleveland is progressing.
Proxy servers. The lot of them.
Dnipro? They've heard of this stupid Lefty woman, Inga, that's a true believer. They have to see it for themselves. They laugh. Oh, how they laugh!
Charlotte's #20!
We need T-shirts.
Take out Dinipro and the secret place , and the list tracks Amazon's new center likely candidates.
Mostly LA visits to pictures of snow.
I very loyal Althousky reader. Much happy. Putin great guy. Really great guy.
Totally krasny.
Must put computer down, now. need to refill samovar.
goodbye,
Larry in Detroit. Much nice city.
Regards from Pensacola ;-)

When I read the subject I thought you were planning a move a la Amazon.
The Oklahoma City ones are me.
Dnipro is an anagram for Id Porn. Welcome to America!
I’m usually in Spain but now visiting North Carolina, north of Charlotte but south of Winston-Salem. When I go to LA in a few weeks am I there or somewhere else in the Althousian demography?
How Dnipro is your love?
On a per capita basis I bet Walden, TN will be near the top. What's the number in Chattanooga btw?
72. Chattanooga
73. Cary (there are 6 cities in the U.S. named Cary... which is it? And why?)
74. Charlottesville
It has to Cary, North Carolina. I see other geographical relationships in the list as well.
Does Google ever explain their methodology?
I'm frequently appearing on-line with the wrong zip code. The zip code frequently corresponds with the location of my internet provider.
I wonder how I'm identified by GA when I'm in the Seattle hood.
I have four Seattle-ish* houses, which in my mind are all grouped as "me being in Seattle." At every location I have at least two (and up to four) distinct connections to the internet, not including mobile phones (two more providers) and mobile satellite (one more).
I probably get counted as a dozen or more people.
*Being very loose re definitions, i.e. the house that is the farthest from the city is on the West Coast (literally you head West from Seattle until you hit the actual ocean).
I am a little curious about how the data is determined. Traditionally Google Analytics looked up the IP address of the http request, which is based on the ISP. Proxy servers will mess this up since the request may come from a server in Dnipro for a user in Kiev using a VPN at their job in the munitions factory.
However, for those of us who log in to comment, Google knows the location associated with our profile. However that location may be missing or made up. Mine is a joke.
Ann- Do you have numbers with the rankings? It would be interesting to see how many of Virginia Beach's 440000 people are here versus a city like Chicago, LA, or Houston with ten times as many.
WTF? All I can think is that Madison is the only liberal place in the USA where the people who swore they'd move to Canada if Trump won, did.
More love for Canada??!??? In the words of our Dear Leader: uh, uh.... Uh, no.
Canadians are so gosh darn sure of their holier than thou-ness that they wouldnt notice your efforts. They are too busy self-loving themselves in gosh darn humblebrag ways.
Never trust a Canadian. We are your best friend. Well, until someone else rolls in to be the worlds superpower. Ask the Brits. We dont really care who we sell all this godforsaken rock wood wheat fish and whatever the hell else we can find lying around. Whatever pays to keep the lights on at the rink. We're the sneaky bastards "pivoting" to asia. Pasty constipated yobs, redneck gunslingin cowboys or whatever patronizing term we come up to describe the Chinese by 2050: we are your best friend. Only, well, you know, slightly better in some weird metric that only we care about, as explained in a dry overlong canlit novel.
I can say that, being Canadian. But thankfully I'm not from one of those five crap cities in your top 100. The only thing more Canadian then thinking well of yourself (vs US) is thinking what the hell is wrong with the rest of this country.
Which Bellevue is it? Nebraska? Washington?
The mental hospital in New York City!?!?!
There certainly seem to be quite a few commenters from Seattle.
Agree that Cary, NC is the one at 73. It used to be s sleepy small town just north west of Raleigh (#41 on the list) on the way to Chapel Hill, but now encompasses a lot of RTP (Research Triangle Park) which is a massive hi-tech spot. Wouldn't surprise me that folks there are reading you while at work.

The http request is transferred by your ISP, so that is what Google Analytics knows.
HTML5 geolocation will tell a server exactly where a user happens to be when connected to a web site. This is generally attached to the http request from mobile devices. The most recent versions of Chrome will not transfer this data unless the user permits. Except in secure context. Once you go to the comments, you're in secure context.
So technically, Google Analytics could identify the exact geolocation of users on mobile devices in the comments section. I'm not sure it does, though.
"Ann- Do you have numbers with the rankings? It would be interesting to see how many of Virginia Beach's 440000 people are here versus a city like Chicago, LA, or Houston with ten times as many."
I have a number for the readers, but you'd have to look elsewhere for the population of the city.
I'm seeing 88 from Virginia Beach. 12,438 from Dnipro.
1,336 from Chicago. 896 from L.A.
Those are numbers for Jan 23 to Jan 29.
And that's not even getting into those of us who have established a foreign internet address for purposes of getting MLB games of our home team. Hey, you don't suppose Dnipro...?
"(I'm still trying to figure out what's up with Dnipro!)"
It's a synchronicity thing. When I first saw your Dnipro posts yesterday, I had just finished a turn in the full campaign of War in the East, and divisions of the 1st Panzergruppe were just across the river from Dnepropetrovsk. They're going to drive south along the left bank of the Dnepr to the Crimea, and bag a shitload of Soviet units in the process.
Amazingly, no city I ever lived in is represented in the list. Indeed I am an outlier.
"War in the East"
I have that. Since Grigsby's old DOS version.
Also used to play Drang Nach Osten and the other Europa games way way back.
Ich bin ein Dniproner.
"Since Grigsby's old DOS version."
Same. Played a lot of that in the 90s (PacWar too). Got WitE when it first came out, and have made several false starts over the years getting into it, but only recently buckled down and actually did it. But I trust you know how that goes. I am still similarly flirting with WITP-AE and WitW. People wonder how I know so much geography of the old Soviet Union...
Not hip to GA but I'm thinking there's a certain amount of lumping-in here for certain states/localities. From Palo Alto, Seattle probably is Washington State.
I was about to correct La Althouse - Toronto is the first of SIX Canadian cities - but then I thought that she probably wasn’t counting Montreal as a Canadian city which is about right.
I'm mostly a trend setter, and I predict that next year at this time Canton, Ohio, and Akron Ohio will be in the top 100. Here's looking at you and at Meade, kid
I like to think I'm the sole source of Memphis traffic
"People wonder how I know so much geography of the old Soviet Union..."
This is an old wargamers skill. You could tell a proper wargamer if he knew what Rzhev was. But it has to be the old Stalin-era names.
WITP-AE - my favorite game. Could use more scenarios though.
Dnipro is home for all those Russian bots sewn into the Net by Cozy Bear hackers. Althouse is an obvious target because the site is home country for many conspiratorial Trumpsters. Simply translated: Althouse is Trump Country!
Hello from #33!
D.C., Arlington, Alexandria and Reston. No readers from the Maryland suburbs I guess.
Hey, my mother grew up near Coffeyville, attended a small, very small, church near the town entrance. What I liked was this ;)
Loo-uh-vul!
Coffeyville, Kansas: home of N. Jack "Dusty" Kleiss the WW2 American dive-bomber pilot who helped sink three Japanese warships. Just finished his book "Never Call Me A Hero". These attacks were at The Battle of Midway. A great American hero.
It’s proof that your site is a Russian propaganda operation! What Putin wants most of all is lower energy prices!
Who's going to plan the meetups now?
21. Toronto (first of 5 Canadian cities; I need to show more love to Canada)
Time once again to ask for that amazon.ca portal.
Are these within the city limits? In the Census Bureau's Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area? In an area code? I have to know if my little suburb is part of number 11.
I've been to Roswell, NM. Just a tourist trap. However, I discovered a beautiful Apache hotel/casino outside Ruidoso. It is called Inn of the Mountain Gods. Great restaurant, majestic view of a lake and nearby ski mountain.
Signing in from Roswell, NM. The alien kitsch is a tourist trap, but lots more here ndspinelli (including the best art museum in NM).
Have no idea if this is the case with Althouse and Dnipro but saw this https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/08/kansas-couple-sues-ip-mapping-firm-for-turning-their-life-into-a-digital-hell/ a while ago about how IP addresses without a known geo location are assigned a made-up Lat/Long that happens to correspond to this farm in Kansas (geo center?).
Perhaps there's an Euro/Asia/Africa equivalent that resolves to Dnipro?
Bots: http://davebuesing.com/google-analytics-spam-traffic-bots/
I'm a Madison reader, by the way.
DrewC, Thanks. I will stop @ the museum my next time through. Full disclosure, I did stop at one of the tourist trap stores and buy fridge magnets for friends.
