--- Quote from: Zebediah on 20 Nov 2017, 13:23 ---The lake house seemed to be not too far of a drive from Northampton, so probably still in Massachusetts. Ditto Dora’s parents - it’s not clear that they are in Northampton but seem to be in the nearby area.

New England and the Left Coast have very different ideas of distance. The lake house could easily be in New Hampshire or even Vermont and I'd still call it "not too far."

Well, the original 13 colonies are tiny compared to the Midwest and Western states. Though, they make nice points of comparison when discussing the size of European countries.
If I'm not mistaken, there's a few counties out west that are the same size as Rhode Island.

That was the first thing I noticed driving back there. The second thing I noticed is that when the yellow sign approaching a curve says "25 MPH" they damn well mean it. Out here if it's posted 25 you can take it at 40 no problem. Not the case in Connecticut, nosiree! I only needed that demonstration once.

In the Midwest most roads are perfectly straight. In the former colonies, the roads were designed while drunk.

Brewster County, Texas: 6192 square miles.
Rhode Island: 1214 square miles.
Screw "same size", Texas has ten counties that are significantly bigger than Rhode Island. (1500 square miles or more) One of which, Harris County, is also much more populous (this is Houston). (4.5 million versus 1 million)

And that's not even to mention San Bernardino County, California.
