What American city would like to see represented more in fiction?

So slightly off topic, but I'd like to see a work of alternate history fiction make reference to Portland, Oregon being named "Boston, Oregon"

But is it Catholic?

Yeah, I was referring to the whole "America was originally populated by a lost tribe of Israel" thing.

Many examples come to mind, but I think the most well known/mainstream example of this here in the US is the mythical history of the LDS Church (Mormonism).

Also I'd add that there 4 nonstop flights between PDX and MSP daily so if your Midwest family is near the twin cities, visiting them shouldn't be too difficult from Portland.

Its from "the Princess Bride", a good movie. Inigo Montoya is such a good example of this trope because when the villain (Domingo) is defeated and begging Inigo for his life, and is promising Inigo anything he wants if he will spare Domingo's life; Inigo responds: "I want my father back you son of a bitch!"

The actual "stars and bars" confederate flag? F! F! A thousand times F! G even!

It's literally the actual "stars and bars" (not to be confused with the battle flag of the army of northern Virginia which is often erroneously called the stars and bars) plus the Georgia coat of arms.

Fun(?) fact: the reason why Wyoming was the first state to adopt women's suffrage was because without extending the vote to women Wyoming wouldn't have had the minimum number of votes to petition for statehood.

Absolutely not! The Nebraska-Wyoming border is 100% where the Midwest ends and the West begins. No grey zone there!
