Meet The Townsfolk Trivia Quiz

Answer: Lincoln

Lincoln's beautiful sunken gardens are situated on the site of an old refuse dump and were turned into gardens, originally as a work project for unemployed men during the Great Depression of the 1930s. An incredible amount of work goes into maintaining this space, and each year, the floral display of over 30,000 plants is redesigned to reflect a different theme.
The Mueller planetarium opened in 1958, thanks to Ralph Mueller, inventor of the alligator clip, used to connect cables to batteries. It can be found at Morrill Hall, on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Answer: Dallas

With attractions to interest every kind of visitor, from the Zero Gravity Amusement Park, to the Holocaust Museum, Dallas is a great place to visit, although sadly will always be remembered for that fateful day when JFK was assassinated. There are several tourist attractions which help keep the memory of that day alive, from guided tours of his motorcade route to a museum on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, from where Lee Harvey Oswald fired. Stuart Dallas is a winger who has represented his country many times.

He began his career with Crusaders in Northern Ireland before moving to England, playing for Brentford before signing for Leeds United in 2015.

Answer: Hamilton

Hamilton in Ontario was the site of a very special event in 1964, when former National Hockey League star, Miles "Tim" Horton opened his very first coffee shop. As anyone that has visited Canada will know, "Timmies" is now a phenomenon that binds Canadian together.
The city's Royal Botanical Gardens are the largest botanical gardens in Canada, covering a whopping 980 hectares (2,422 acres), meaning that you can wander for a whole day, drinking several Timmies and still not see everything.
Lewis Hamilton has been breaking records since 2007, his first season in Formula One, when as a McLaren driver, he became the youngest ever driver to lead the driver's championship. He finished the season in second place, just one point behind Kimi Räikkonen of Ferrari, making him the youngest ever runner up in the sport, until Sebastian Vettel broke that record in 2009.

Answer: Cleveland

Very high on my bucket list is a visit to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, with its seven storeys of memorabilia covering the history of rock and pop music. This iconic building was designed by I.M. Pei, the man also responsible for the famous Louvre pyramid and John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston.
Carol Cleveland appeared in all but 15 episodes of the TV show, "Monty Python's Flying Circus" (1969-1974) and was also in all four films made by the team.

Phoenix and its surrounding area is home to over 200 golf courses including TPC of Scottsdale, venue for the Phoenix Open, where on the famous par three 16th hole Tiger Woods scored a hole in one in 1997.
Pat Phoenix was most famous for playing the part of sexy battle axe, Elsie Tanner in long running TV soap opera "Coronation Street" between 1960 and 1984.

Answer: Austin

Austin is the state capital of Texas, and with an average of 300 days of sunshine per year, is one of the sunniest cities in USA. All that sunshine makes it a great place to hang out at Hippie Hollow, the only nudist beach in Texas, or attend South by Southwest (SXSW), the annual interactive music and film festival which began in 1987.

The festival has seen some unknown artists secure record deals on the back of their SXSW performance, among them John Mayer in 2000 and James Blunt in 2004, as well as being the event at which major movies have been premiered, most notably "The Hurt Locker" in 2009, which went on to win the Best Picture Oscar in 2010. Alfred Austin was Poet Laureate between 1896 and 1913, after the death of Alfred Lord Tennyson. Austin brought us works such as "Love's Widowhood" (1889) and "The Door Of Humility" (1906).

Answer: Columbus

Although the German Village started in 1814, it was with the immigration boom of the 1830s that the area grew considerably and by 1865, over a third of the population of Columbus was German. Many German breweries sprang up in the area, making it a wealthy neighbourhood, and one that was hit to such an extent during prohibition that it became a slum area. Thankfully, many of the buildings were preserved due to intense lobbying when the slums were earmarked for demolition and German Village is, in 2019, a most desirable place to live.

Christopher Columbus is famed for his voyages from Spain in 1492, 1493, 1498 and 1502 during which he was tried to find a direct sea route west from Europe to Asia. Unfortunately, he was not successful, but he did accidentally stumble upon the Americas.

Answer: Raleigh

Raleigh is the state capital of North Carolina and is named after our tour guide, Sir Walter Raleigh, who although he never visited North America, did send others in his name in 1585 to establish the Roanoke Colony, now known as the "Lost Colony", as everyone went missing under mysterious circumstances. There is nothing mysterious about Raleigh, as the city consistently win awards for the quality of life in the city.

Sir Walter is remembered as the man that "introduced" tobacco and potatoes to England, although both of these were already known. However, he certainly helped popularise them.

Answer: Prince George

Although many people associate the sulphur odour and nothing else with Prince George in British Columbia, it is a vibrant little city that has so much more on offer. It has an amazingly diverse population, one of the lowest cost of living prices in Canada and I have always enjoyed my time here.
Visitors to the city are greeted by Mr. P.G., a fibreglass man standing almost 27 feet (8.5 metres) high, who is the second Mr. P.G., after the first, a 40 feet (12 metres) wooden man had to be replaced due to rot in 1983.

Prince George is the son of Prince William and Catherine, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. He was born in 2013 and is third in the line of succession to the British throne.
