Where do you think that Christopher Columbus originated

from?


Ohio?


Good guess!

Did you know that most American towns are named after European

places?

I come from a village called "Virginia".



Gosh no, I didn't know that. Is there a Plowville near you?

Yes, but in Europe, you see, all the places & towns are
1000s of years older & much much more civilized, and the
town would have been named so long ago that it would be in
Latin: Plovius Villus

Or Indianapolis, Denver, Albuquerque, Poukeepsie, Bean Blossom, Fort Wayne,
or Seattle?

I believe Donal was referring to Athens, NY.
