Name that Flyover city — September 26, 2019

September 25, 2019

Let’s see how you did!

First let’s review the questions:

  1. Until fairly recently, this city had an ordinance that made dancing illegal between the hours of 2 a.m. and 6 a.m.
  2. The TV shows Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley were set in this city.
  3. According to WalletHub, this city is the most educated in the US

And now the answers!

  1. Des Moines. IA–So much for dancing the night away. This odd ordinance was in effect from 1942 to 2009 in the city. I guess until Kevin Bacon showed up.
  2. Milwaukee, WI–Schlemiel! Schlimazel! Hasenpfeffer Incorporated! Both series were set in the city, Happy Days and its spinoff Laverne and Shirley.  In fact, there’s even a statue of Henry Winkler’s character on Milwaukee’s RiverWalk: The Bronze Fonze.
  3. Ann Arbor, MI—In the WalletHub study, the city also ranked highest in percentage of Bachelor’s Degree holder and Graduate or Professional degree holders.

Thanks for playing Name that Flyover city!
