Birthplace of Elvis Presley. It's located in northern Mississippi about halfway between Memphis and Birmingham. Tupelo honey has nothing to do with Tupelo, MS.
Itta Bena, Mississippi
The town's name is derived from the Choctaw phrase iti bina meaning forest camp. Mena, AR.
It's where most of the growth of the Hattiesburg area is taking place and is becoming the main population center of Lamar County. It's very suburban.

A small town in the Ouachitas of western Arkansas. Its tiny municipal airport was the entry point for massive amounts of South American cocaine in the 1980s (allegedly), and the Clinton family was somehow involved (allegedly).

New Madrid, Missouri
It's a small town in Southeastern Missouri, and I wouldn't live there. However, it's really cheap.

New Madrid also sits atop a very inactive earthquake fault that really shakes when it moves: it produced the most powerful earthquake yet felt in US territory in 1816. I don't know what it measured on the Richter scale, but the temblor rang church bells in Boston.
Never heard of this place, so I'm leaving it up for play:

McCandless, Pennsylvania
Looks like a suburban community, just north of Pittsburgh. I do have to say looking at street view, that North Park looks pretty darn nice. And which is a part of Alleghany County's county park system.

Johnstown, Pennsylvania
Site of two notorious floods: one in 1889 that was caused by the bursting of a dam that formed a lake around which Gilded Age grandees had built recreational lodges (this Johnstown Flood was held up as an example of the callousness of the "robber barons"), and another in 1938 caused by Mother Nature that Pennsylvania booze buyers are paying for to this day. (Bundled into the shelf price of wines and spirits sold in the state-run liquor stores in this state is an 18 percent tax the Pennsylvania General Assembly imposed in 1938 to pay for cleanup from that flood.)

Arrow Rock, Mo.
Looks like a decent day-trip destination for someone living in Columbia or KCMO, particularly if they have an interest in US history. I do have some concern about how a village so small made it through the pandemic though.
We went on a family trip to the Bay Area in summer 2008 and stopped by Monterey to see a family friend, who passed away a few years ago. I just remember it being extremely foggy and having Spanish colonial architecture.
Affluent unincorporated DC suburb home to the CIA headquarters.
