#1 agricultural crop is soybeans? But then, why not Wisconsin?Report
My first thought was size of the state legislature, but a quick check at Wikipedia put that notion to rest. Still, I was amazed at the large size of the legislatures in some of the Northeastern statelets. With 400 members, I’m surprised that the New Hampshire House can get anything done.Report
Apples? I guess that’d need Washington.
Corn?

It’s a binary thing. Either a state is/does/has or isnt/doesnt/hasn’t.Report
Well, it’s not places I wouldn’t mind living, ’cause Indiana… Sorry Indiana… actually, Nashville, Indiana is a pretty cool place, so maybe.

I’m not going to guess officially, but I’ll tell you how I figured it out:

But I did use the web, so it’s definitely cheating. And it taught me a lesson: making a joke about Indiana is the best way to get the answer to trivia questions.Report

Wait, @chris, Texas is on that list, and it’s Indiana you’d mind living in?Report
I’d live in Texas over Indiana. In fact, given that IU was one of my grad school finalists (best mathematical psych in the world at the time), so I kinda did pick Texas over Indiana.
I can’t wait to get out of Texas, but I won’t be going to Indiana.Report
Shrug. There’s no accounting for southerners. Best to keep you all below the Ohio anyway. That way we won’t have to go to the trouble of rounding you all up come the next Civil War. 😉Report

Indiana, the middle coast.

Not an ocean coastline, of course, but Indiana : Lake Michigan (WI, MI), Vermont : Lake Champlain (NY), California : Pacific Ocean (OR, WA) , Florida, Texas : Gulf of Mexico (each other, et seq), New York, North Carolina, Virginia: Atlantic Ocean (each other, et seq)Report

It is!Report
Also, New Jersey has one of these.Report
Oh, no, I take it back! Orange is a city in New Jersey, not a county.Report
Iwas expecting New Jersey to have one, and instead discovered that China did.Report

Indeed NJ has many oranges. And i grew up in one of them. So just be careful.Report

I will say that I am one of the people who never learned how to properly do the, “Which Orange are you from?” game. I know there is one answer that is supposed to make me say, “Oh, phew, thank god it’s not the other one!” and one answer that it supposed to make me say, “Oh, I hear it’s nice there, too.”Report
I love this, from Bob Dylan’s Talking New York Blues:
I rambled out of New York town
Pulled my cap down over my eyes
And headed out for the western skies
So long, New York
Howdy, East Orange

Two of the Oranges in NJ are shit holes, the other two aren’t that much better.
Fun Fact: Gerry Goffin and Carole King named “Pleasant Valley Sunday” after the street they were living on in West Orange.Report
@scarletnumbers West and South Orange are middle to upper middle class towns. Good schools and highly desirable. You’re a bit off. Yeah i guess they are near working class towns but so is everybody but the richy rich
It doesn’t get more, well, pleasant then the intersection of Pleasant Valley Way and Mt. Pleasant Ave and the Pleasantdale Sweet Shop down the road.
Great childhoods end moment: going to the Pleasantdale Sweet Shop as an adult, which used to have an old style diner counter with swivel metal seats, then finding it had the largest collection of porn mags short of 42nd street..Report
@greginak
Your views of West and South Orange are about 20 years out-of-date, IMHO.Report
@scarletnumbers I’ve been back to West Orange a few times in the past 10 years. I’m not off on it. Where it borders Orange its still fine although the houses are on the old and small side, my cousin lived there up until recently. It’s nicer now then when i went to high school 30 years ago . The other side of town borders frickin Short Hills.Report

Please tell me you went to Star Tavern the last time you were there.Report
@scarletnumbers Can’t say i did. I went to White Castle though. Not quite the same thing i know.Report

Does it matter that the West Coast and Florida oranges are probably named for the citrus fruit and the others are probably named for the House of Orange or being Scots-Irish Orange Ulstermen?Report
I thought about working that into a hint for later in the week, but hadn’t figured out how (or which, other than the obvious, were which).Report
