We have scammers
India
Got it
That narrows it down to Earth
We’ve decriminalized magic mushrooms.
Portugal?
Netherlands?
Despite New being in the name of it, the “old” place was named many years after.
New Brunswick?
A lot further south and west.
Newport? (if by “old” you mean British!)
New Mexico
We have a 1/2 scale copy of the Leaning Tower of Pisa
I don’t know the scale, but Saugus, Massachusetts - “Leaning Tower of Pizza”
Las Vegas? Seems like they have a half scale version of everything.
Nope, but its true, Vegas does seem to have every monument you can think of.
Niles, IL
This wizard wins the cookie
A song from my country is used in Hollywood, in instrumental form, as an exotic romantic dance. It’s actually, according to the lyrics, about a gambling addict comparing his horse race obsession with the intense nature of his romantic infatuations.
Edit: come on! No takers?
Wat
We have two animals on our coat of arms neither of which can walk backwards.
Australia. I feel I’ve seen a kangaroo shuffle backwards in a fighting stance. But hearing an emu can’t walk backwards sounds ludicrous.
And we eat them
I’ve been told that this way they have no choice but to hold up the coat of arms.
We’ve got one of the oldest, largest, and most used transit systems in the world.
London?
New York City?
Yessir.
I’ve got a few but I’ll go with:
The Guinness World Record Largest Open Sandwich; It was a barbecue pork bun (as of July 2010; dunno if the record still stands)
Ok. In retrospect this was way too obscure.
How about the town Pepsi was invented in?
We won three wars against the UK in the 19th century.
I can go regular skiing on snow and water skiing on the ocean in the same day.
Vancouver?
You’re closer but unfortunately you went over. (I’m in California)
I was going to guess California because I used to live there. There’s also fun in the desert just a short drive away.
Italy?
A century ago, we had a disaster caused by a tsunami of molasses 25 ft high, going 35 mph
Boston
I don’t know if you’re from here or I gave too many hints, making it too easy to search, but YES
When I was a kid (primary school, ~2010), I watched a History Channel show about it with my little brother.
Back then, we just thought the “Boston Molassacre” was a funny name for a tragedy, so it’s stuck in my head.
GRANDPA’S CHEESE BARN
I live near Main Street USA, but not in Florida or Missouri.
My hometown was a well-known regional port and was the home of a “medical” serial killer (both in the early 20th century) who was responsible for over 15 deaths over 4 years.
When I lived there, it was the city with the most parkland per capita in the US.
The US!
Nailed it.
