Weirdest name of a town in each state.
Never heard of slugburger, or many of the others listed. Kentucky showed soup beans. I've ate those my whole life
I must have relatives from back east. I was raised on scrapple (Pennsylvania) and my wife's family eats creamed chip beef (Delaware). It is entirely likely my relatives came to fly over country via Pennsylvania, but I am not aware of any of my wife's family having been near Delaware.
I've heard livermush is just a version of scrapple...maybe the pork version? We made ours from beef, but we never put beef liver in it as far as I know. Liver was a cut of "meat" unto itself.
It wasn't considered offal.
Gotta love boiled peanuts! I haven't had them in forever. It may be time to do that again.
[Edit: Oh, I just saw fried squirrel (West Virginia). I've had pan fried squirrel. Perfectly good protein.]

Okay, which one of y’all lives in Booker Hole, WV?
Oregon has a couple other good names like Greenhorn and Drain.

Don't knock a garbage plate 'til you've had one!
That's two grilled hots on a bed of seasoned potatoes and mac salad smothered in meat sauce with chopped onions and mustard (French's, naturally, because it's from Rochester, too). There are dozens of variations from different restaurants.
When I was in college, you could get a cup of coffee and a donut for 50 cents.
I did note in the small print that this was not just black coffee, but fancy stuff too. Which I think changes things.
That didn’t exist when I was in college
. These youngins don’t know how easy they’ve got it.
I'm not surprised that we didn't make the bar graph because Louisiana doesn't report executions.
A lot of guys at Angola would disagree with those numbers...... but they don't talk much

It's a tough deal. I definitely believe in an eye for an eye, but what scares me is a kangaroo court and then find out the person did not commit murder years after he was convicted and killed. I'd like to toss in there that if they did find out later the person was innocent, the judge and others are put on trial and get the death penalty if they knew what they were doing.
Oldest business in each state.
That’s actually kinda interesting.
ETA: WA - it’s an investment company. OR it has changed with the generations from beverages to an Inn. ID - I know some of the Joyces. The ones I know are nice folks.

I never heard of Davis Funeral Chapel
I hadn't heard of Saunderskill Farm Market, either. It's been in continuous operation since 1680.

It's just a funeral place in Leavenworth. Maybe they paid alot of $$ for that ad, it made me look it up out of curiousity
I know this map is 100% accurate.
Population map. Same basic # of people in blue as in yellow.
My all time favorite business name from my travels was a funeral home chain in Buffalo Ny. Started and ran by an Italian family. Their last name was Amigone.
Pronounced in my southern english it’s the ‘Am I gone’ funeral home. I cracked up every time I drove by one…
doesn’t seem like the place to be if you’re in doubt!

Wow. What a difference compared to 50 years ago. Back then, take 10 years off everything on that chart.

I think average age for amish is about 23. And that used to be younger. But there has to be a place to live, and a way to support your wife, and that has become a lot harder.
