I always wonder about physical size, too -- Philadelphia's central city is tiny, but they absorbed the nearby municipalities so the city population is relatively big.
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, tommyrot's link does speak to that. I am fascinated by the density figures. Fascinated! India is Not Fucking Around with their urban centers, but you can see that some of those place are just large because they are physically (geographically) large.

Autumn means winter is coming. Winter is evil. Autumn is the harbinger of evil.
I had a moment of wondering how I posted when I was offsite at lunch, and then I saw it was ita, not me, posting.
I had a chicken sandwich, hoping it would be light. It was one of those breaded patties. Now I'm sleepy.

While many parts of Ohio may have 4 clearly defined seasons of reasonable length, southern Ohio has about 2 weeks of spring. And then 5 months of summer.

I'd say NYC has 2.5 months of summer, 3.5 months of autumn, 3.5 months of winter, and 2.5 months of spring - with the caveat that spring does not equal warmish temps with nice rain showers and some wind, it equals weather that is all over the place.
From memory TX has 3.5 months of summer, 3 months of autumn, 2.5 months of winter, and 3 months of spring.
Southern NM had a bonus windy season.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jamaica has layers. It's 85° all the time, and it's either raining for an hour or so, or it's not. Mostly sunny.
Oh, right, hurricanes. We do have those too.

I thought rural North Carolina was the Real America?
I hope the Real America has better broadband access.

Wait, you're saying the flyover states are real?
