Due east? How do you figure that?

If you keep going due east over Long Island Sound, eventually you end up on Long Island, NY.

Woodland, CA and Woodland, WA are both on I-5.

Kiester, MN: The Hind End of Minnesota
Happy, TX: The Town Without a Frown
Weed, CA: Weed Like to Welcome You
Manhattan, KS: The Little Apple
Gun Barrell City, TX: We Shoot Straight With You
Peculiar, MO: Where the Odds Are With You
Hooker, OK: It's a Location, Not a Vocation
Gas, KS: Don't Pass Gas, Stop and Enjoy It

I can vouch for Happy TX. The in-laws are from there, the ex is a graduate of Happy High School. And the sign still has that slogan.

Oh brother not this stupid debate again.

S. Fla has a tropical CLIMATE.....it's possible for a region to have a tropical climate without being between the Cancer and Capricorn!
