Now that ... is really Odd. ht So, Gary, Glad you "Liked" my post. I suspect others thought I was "dissing" you. It would appear that no one other than you and me, watched "The Odd Couple" on TV with Jack Klugman [as Oscar Madison] and Tony Randall [as Felix Unger]. ht

I've seen it in all three venues. I knew exactly what you meant. And I loved that TV show.

Sorry AnotherFed. You were liking as I was posting. Guess there are three of us. ht I was about to post, "good gosh, you ARE old geezers!" but I thought it might be rude. I did pick up on the reference, but only because I am a Nick at Nite fan (since all of those shows were way, way, WAY before my time, my official age being 29 and unknown months).

While it was on the cert, so maybe it makes the city of the day, I thought this was only for cities where people were hired.

City of the day is for all cities on the last cert, whether or not someone was hired.

Nope. Cities that were on the cert are what comprises this list.

A city of 56,000 being defined as a "village" is somewhat humorous, especially if you have experience living in true villages - like 1,500!

The city is abundantly rich in water, with twenty lakes and wetlands, the Mississippi River, creeks and waterfalls, many connected by parkways in the Chain of Lakes and theGrand Rounds National Scenic Byway. It was once the world's flour millingcapital and a hub for timber, and today is the primary business center betweenChicago and Seattle, with Minneapolis proper containing America's fifth-highest concentration of Fortune 500 companies.[5][6] As an integral link to the global economy, Minneapolis is categorized as a global city.[7]

"Abundantly rich in water" sounds like a happy way to mention annually flooded basements. Having done enough P'gon time to get a sense for hyperbole, I've never before considered Minneapolis an integral link in the global economy. (New York, LA, Minneapolis, Tokyo, Shanghai...) Perhaps now I shall -- between Chicago and Seattle of course. (And, what a way to put down those other integral links, like Bismarck, Pierre, and Helena!)
