Not Knowing

Is this true?

While this makes sense I am betting that there are alternatives.

Oh well, perhaps there is no other little nook such as that.

U.S. city departure riddle,

Via Little Miss Attila:

There is only one city in the United States wherein traveling along the four compass points—north, south, east and west—brings you [cross over into] the same single state, no matter which direction you choose. Name the city, and the state.

Well, I guessed Washington, D.C., trying to stretch a point that it is “surrounded” (kinda) by Maryland. I was wrong. It’s not in the Midwest either.

The answer is Stamford, Connecticut.

A line drawn due north goes to New York State.
A line drawn due west goes to New York State.
A line drawn due south crosses Long Island Sound to Long Island, New York.
A line drawn due east passes over a lot of Long Island Sound and then hits the “North Fork”
of Eastern Long Island.

Now that’s trivia!
