... and then has all kinds of random ways to connect one state to the next until he's got through all 50. I found the whole thing riveting, though I laughed out loud only once.

-We already met.
-Super! Then you'll have lots to talk about.
Puerto Rico you're missing out!
Contacting North Dakota is hard. I even talked to Guam before I found a North Dakota.
That's kind of like the history of the entire world, i guess
I get sound when I play the embed, but no video. If I copy the url I get https://youtu.be/ancuYECRGN8. If I manually plug that into my browser (Chrome) I get video. But no luck with the embed. What's up with that?
Shortest Street is in Bellefontaine, OH (at 28 feet) which is not pronounced "Bell-fon-tane" by Buckeyes who call the city (located 16 miles west of the Marysville Honda plant on U.S 33) "Bell-fount-en."
Did you laugh out loud on the bit about Pennsylvania bordering Minnesota?
Peachtree City, Ga with its golf carts is in the Little League World Series semi finals. The predominant demographic is Airline pilots/personel for the worlds busiest Airport located a 30 minute drive away.

I'm sorry, I blacked out from boredom and ditched after about 60 seconds or so.
Jury of their peers.
How about "A fair and impartial" jury.
This is my guess for the Althouse guffaw.
You should watch or read "How the States Got Their Shapes" ... really fun too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_the_States_Got_Their_Shapes
Were any states missed?
Seriously???... all 57 of em?
I wonder how many people are booking "second honeymoon/hunting trips" to Yellowstone.
...what made you laugh?...
What made me laugh was the smallest park in the country (in Oregon).

I doubt that single planter was the park. Plus you could see greenery behind it.
The tiny park was probably a spot of importance to a well-connected person. Roadmiddle memorial?
That video has the largest number of facts in 13 minutes.
I'm used to slower talkers so I had to pause several times.
Wiki says there's no Washington in Washington state. Does any other state NOT have one?
Aside from NY, does any state have a city of the same name? Island of Hawaii and Oklahoma City don't count.
T liked the town with a population of 1, where the mayor and sole resident grants herself a liquor license annually.
It's called Mill End Park, and it looks like a hollowed out mill stone, which would mean the end of the mill.
I doubt that single planter was the park.
From Wikipedia, In 1948 the site that would become Mill Ends Park was intended to be the site for a light pole. When the pole failed to appear and weeds sprouted in the opening, Dick Fagan, a columnist for the Oregon Journal, planted flowers in the hole and named it after his column in the paper, "Mill Ends" (a reference to leftover irregular pieces of wood at lumber mills).
So what's that greenery in the background? Another park? Does Mills End have a park superintendent and staff? Are they somebody's brother-in-laws?
As I am sure other Nebraskans will point out, the longest street is O which runs through Lincoln (not that puny little Colfax stretch in Denver). And O has no curves or jogs. O is perfectly straight and just keeps going.

I think this presentation would be a lot more effective with pictures or video. Other than that, I give it an 8, its got a good beat and I could've danced to it, when I was a dancer.

I'm pretty sure it's NYC in NY. But i guess i see what you mean. The Iowa City police cars (and their badges) say: City of Iowa City, which is the Exact Opposite if what you mean
Us Cyclone fans (GO CYCLONES!) who hate and despise Everything Hawkeye related, refer to the Hawkeye school as: The University of Iowa City
Island Park Idaho claims to have the longest Main Street in the World (35 miles long).
Idaho law (at least used to ) requires ALL liquor licenses to be inside city limits; so all the dude ranches on US-20 incorporated into the town of Island Park: which consists of US-20, its ONLY street
Since when is Kansas City not in Kansas? Did the Missouri one annex it when I wasn't paying attention?
