One clue: Unidentified Flying Object
Is Roswell known for anything else? I feel almost like that's it's one claim to fame. I'd love to visit though, I think it'd be pretty cool.

Correct again, but there are Circle K's here in Denver now (but no AM/PM's ).

3) Like, you know, like everyone supposedly like talks like this according to the media. However, most of the time, you'll hear "que guey?" more often than anything else
4) If you combine our basketball teams, you would have a mediocre team at best
5) The tourist attractions are the last thing most people should see

Now guess away!
Los Angeles.

( Hint: "The 1st city in the world" to be electrically lit / illuminated, and also the site for the very 1st traffic light )

I was going to guess Syracuse for this one.

The city would be too hard, so without looking at my profile, you can try to guess my home country. My clues are...

1. A nation associated with heavy drinking
2. It has a desert
3. Historically, slave raiding is estimated to have cost our nation one million people
4. I was raised Catholic

Too easy? If you already know the answer, shut up lol. I want people to guess.

Los Angeles.
Pfft...we grew up in the same region of the country. That doesn't count!

I first heard of Circle K when I was living in Phoenix in 2000, but when I was driving around the IE recently, I saw one. That was a giveaway to me

They don't have Circle K's in LA?

Well I'll be.

EDIT: There are Circle K's in LA, they just aren't nearly as ubiquitous (and are really kind of spread out).
